Timeverse × Quantum Measurement: Phase-Addressed Scheduling of Measurement Interactions (A Control-Plane Framework Compatible with Standard POVMs)

This paper proposes phase-addressed measurement scheduling: a control-plane framework in which quantum measurement interactions are triggered inside cycle-anchored phase windows of a shared reference phase φ(t) ∈ [0,1) ≃ S¹, rather than targeted by absolute timestamps or fixed qubit-index order. SCOPE AND CLAIMS This is a theoretical and architectural proposal. It does NOT modify the Born rule, POVMs, Hilbert-space dynamics, or any foundational aspect of quantum mechanics. The framework constrains WHEN standard measurement instruments are applied, using wrap-safe phase windows and explicit cycle indexing to avoid periodic ambiguity ("same phase / wrong cycle"). No performance numbers are claimed without hardware validation. KEY CONTRIBUTIONS • Formalization of phase-window execution for measurement timing using standard notation• Analytic toy models clarifying conditions of benefit: – Phase-addressing helps when measurement drift is quasi-periodic and phase-correlated – No guaranteed gain under white, phase-uncorrelated noise – Explicit throughput/fidelity trade-off analysis• Three experimentally testable protocols: – Superconducting processors: drift vs phase characterization – Controller jitter injection tests – Photonic/quantum network coordination without long-horizon timestamp synchronization• Integration with phase-coordination stacks (Q-Address, TAQA, HS-Bloch) for distributed verification and audit POSITIONING The proposal is compatible with:• Standard POVM-based measurement theory• Quantum reference-frame viewpoints (Bartlett et al., 2007)• Filter-function / dynamical decoupling perspectives (Cywiński et al., 2008; Green et al., 2013)• Synchronous detection and stroboscopic sampling techniques The distinctive contribution is an interoperable, verifiable control-plane representation (cycle anchoring, wrap-safe windows, tick-canonical verification) intended for distributed quantum architectures. LIMITATIONS AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The paper explicitly documents when phase-addressed scheduling does NOT help (white noise, no phase correlation) and specifies reporting requirements for any experimental evaluation to avoid overstating benefits.
