Prime Harmonic Modulation and the Riemann Zeta Function: Quantum States on the Critical Line

Establishes that PHM wavefunction amplitude coefficients A_p = 1/√p are the Dirichlet series coefficients of the Riemann zeta function evaluated on the critical line Re(s) = 1/2. Proves normalizability boundary at the critical line. States the PHM-GUE conjecture with numerical evidence from N=500 and N=2000 prime spectra.

Prime-Gap-Based Quantum Indistinguishability: Security Proofs for Prime Harmonic QKD

Proves the first closed-form security parameter for PHM QKD: F_k = cos²(πg_k / 2p_kp_{k+1}), where g_k is the prime gap. Under the Cramér conjecture, adversary advantage vanishes superpolynomially. The adaptive prime ladder provides post-quantum forward secrecy independent of computational hardness assumptions.

Correspondence Between Prime Harmonic Energy Levels and Atomic Spectral Lines

PHM energy levels E_p = p²·Ry, fitted with a single scale factor, match 84% of atomic spectral transitions across H, He, Li, C, N, O, Na, Fe, and Xe from the NIST Atomic Spectra Database. He, C, Na, and Xe achieve 100% match within 10% relative error. The value E_{p=1} = 13.6 eV equals the hydrogen ionization energy exactly.

Correct Implementation of NIST SP 800-22 Statistical Tests for Quantum RNG Validation

Identifies four implementation error classes in NIST SP 800-22 tests. Corrected implementations produce genuine 15/15 PASS on PHM quantum entropy. IBM hardware validation on 1,048,576 real quantum bits reveals systematic readout asymmetry (0.39%) requiring mitigation for QRNG certification.

Experimental Validation of Prime Harmonic Modulation: Quantum State Tomography and Prime-Gap Indistinguishability

First experimental confirmation of F_k = cos²(πg_k/2p_kp_{k+1}) on real IBM quantum hardware. Single-qubit state tomography on IBM Fez confirms the formula within 2.49% for all 6 patent primes. Bloch angles match π/p within 0.66° mean error. Six IBM Quantum jobs executed with publicly verifiable job IDs.
