Electrical Detection of Phosphorus-31 Spin Coherence in Silicon for Quantum Control — E8 Intelligence Research
FINDING: Phosphorus-31 nuclear spin coherence in silicon enables precise quantum control via electrical detection and low-field magnetic resonance. | MATH: Nuclear spin I=1/2; stable isotope with 15 protons, 16 neutrons; gyromagnetic ratio γ(31P) ≈ 108.394 MHz/T; hyperfine coupling constant A ≈ 117 MHz for P donors in Si; Zeeman splitting ΔE = ħγB; spin coherence time T₂ up to ~0.5 s in isotopically purified ²⁸Si. | CONNECTION: The 1/2 spin symmetry corresponds to the simplest non-trivial representation of SU(2) — a double cover of SO(3) rotation group. The 15:16 neutron-proton ratio (0.9375) is close to 0.939 (≈ 1/√π), but no direct golden ratio or base-60 link. The hyperfine constant 117 MHz yields a dimensionless ratio A/γ ≈ 1.08, near unity. | DEPTH: 6 — The findings are experimentally robust and foundational for quantum computing (spin qubits), but the mathematical structure is standard SU(2) algebra without novel geometric constants.
