Introduction
Quantum computers rely on the ability to preserve quantum states long enough to perform meaningful computation. In conventional quantum mechanics, this is described in terms of coherence: a fragile condition where quantum superpositions and entanglement remain unbroken. However, in Stein Theory, we take a fully deterministic, geometric view of coherence that changes the conceptual foundation entirely.
In Stein Theory, all physical phenomena—particles, forces, fields, even space and time—emerge from the deterministic geometry of spinning two-dimensional disks called steins. These steins interact via geometric alignment of their spin vectors and overlapping their Cylinders of Influence (COIs). Nothing is probabilistic at its root; everything is a consequence of deterministic spin coupling and angular geometry.
This gives us a radically different, physically grounded explanation of coherence.
The Real Reason for Quantum Coherence and Decoherence
In conventional systems, decoherence is viewed as a result of environmental interaction—stray energy, thermal agitation, or uncontrolled measurement all collapse the fragile quantum state. From the Stein perspective, decoherence happens when the geometric alignment of spin vectors is disturbed. Quantum coherence, in turn, arises from precise and stable spin vector relationships.
A key example is the Lamb shift, which in Stein Theory is caused by face-locking between the large internal column of a proton and the triangles in the orbiting electron’s triplet structure. In the electron, the triangles stop spinning as their faces stay locked to the large proton column by essentially a gravitational force (equivalent to strong force under stein unification, and only seeming weaker because of tiny probability of face to face alignment in normal activity). This face-locking is a geometrically stable configuration that leads to an energy suppression and stabilisation of the electron’s behaviour—hence the Lamb shift. Our computation confirms the magnitude is correct. A very small EM interaction adds a further 1 part in approximately 10^5. The proton’s column basically follows the electron around as it orbits, and the electron’s normal magnetic moment vanishes because its triangles are rendered still.
If an electron is excited into a higher orbital (e.g., from 2s to 2p), the face-locking condition is broken. The proton no longer exerts enough stabilising angular constraint on the electron. This leads to rotational freedom in the spin geometry of the system, making the entire atom vulnerable to spin drift, angular decoherence, and loss of synchrony with neighbouring atoms.
So, quantum coherence in atoms is not mysterious. It’s the result of face-locking between internal particle structures. When face-locking is maintained—e.g., when electrons remain in the 2s orbital—the system stays rigid, synchronised, and coherent. When that face-lock breaks, spin geometries can drift, and coherence collapses.
Why Quantum Computers Are Supercooled
Most modern quantum computers require extremely low temperatures—approaching absolute zero. Conventionally, this is explained as necessary to reduce thermal noise. From the Stein perspective, it’s even simpler: cooling keeps the electrons in the 2s orbital, where they can remain face-locked with the protons.
If electrons are thermally excited into higher orbitals, they lose this face-lock. The moment that happens, the system’s angular coherence collapses, because the entire particle now floats relative to its stabilising reference frame. Cooling prevents that excitation, keeping electrons geometrically constrained and allowing the system to retain its deterministically defined coherence.
So, the need for supercooling in quantum computers is not a result of quantum fragility. It is a direct, mechanical consequence of trying to preserve face-locked spin geometry among particles. In Stein terms, we are simply keeping all particles in the proper angular configuration.
Quantum coherence is not probabilistic. It is architectural. And the Lamb shift isn’t a random fluctuation—it’s a stabilising force. That’s why cold atoms stay coherent, and that’s what quantum computing really depends on.
To summarise
Conventional View:
The Lamb shift is treated as a small quantum correction arising from vacuum fluctuations and quantum electrodynamics (QED) effects.
Quantum coherence is considered a separate issue, related to environmental decoherence, thermal noise, and wavefunction entanglement loss.
No standard model or QED framework explicitly links the Lamb shift to the stability or coherence of qubit systems in atomic-scale structures.
Stein Theory:
The Lamb shift is not a perturbation—it’s a structural effect caused by face-locking between the large stein column inside the proton and the electron’s triangle in the 2s orbital.
This face-locking enforces angular constraint, preventing rotational drift and preserving deterministic spin vector alignment.
That is exactly what quantum coherence is under Stein Theory: locked spin geometry across adjacent or entangled systems.
Therefore: loss of Lamb shift accompanies loss of face-lock = decoherence.
Preservation of Lamb shift goes with face lock = angular stability = quantum coherence.
