JSIFS lab-incubator program
Quantum Measurement and Sensing Program
Defines measurement boundaries, characterizes noise, tests calibration and decoherence assumptions, preserves signal provenance, and evaluates classical explanations.
Research questions
- Is sensitivity supported by independent noise characterization?
- Was the detection rule fixed before analysis?
- Which classical explanations remain live?
Required inputs
- Raw time series and acquisition metadata
- Noise characterization and calibration records

Known confounders
- Noise-floor drift
- Post-hoc thresholds
- Multiple comparisons
- Cross-talk
- Clock instability
- Environmental coupling
Output artifacts
- Noise and false-positive budget
- Detection-boundary report
- Model card
- Replication protocol
Human review requirements
- Measurement-science owner
- Experimental counterpart
- Independent replication reviewer
