===Lattice structure===
* '''Cells and topology.''' QMM discretizes space-time as a four-dimensional cubic lattice <math>\mathcal{X}\simeq\mathbb{Z}^4</math> with spacing <math>a\approx\ell_P</math>. Each site ''x'' hosts a finite Hilbert space <math>\mathcal{H}_x\cong\mathbb{C}^d</math>, so the global kinematic space factorizes into <math>\mathcal{H}_{\text{QMM}}=\bigotimes_{x\in\mathcal{X}}\mathcal{H}_x</math>. Local imprint generators commute at space-like separation, ensuring microcausality; information spreads through a nearest-neighbor Hamiltonian <math>\hat H=\sum_{\langle x,y\rangle}J\,\hat\sigma_x\hat\sigma_y+\sum_x\lambda\,\hat\phi(x)\otimes\hat\sigma_x</math>.
* '''Emergent metric.''' Lattice connectivity is encoded in an adjacency matrix <math>A_{xy}</math> (equal to 1 for nearest neighbors). On coarse scales the block-averaged metric is
::<math>g_{\mu\nu}(X)=\alpha\sum_{x,y\in\mathcal{B}(X)}A_{xy}(\Delta x)_{\mu}(\Delta x)_{\nu}</math> where <math>\mathcal{B}(X)</math> is an <math>L^{4}</math> block centered on macroscopic coordinate ''X'' and α is a normalization constant.<ref name="Neukart2024" />

The imprint map factorizes into a data qubit and two memory qubits: <math>\hat I=\mathrm{CNOT}_{12}\mathrm{CNOT}_{13}</math>. After idle time ''τ'', logical recovery
:<math>\hat R=\hat I^{\dagger}e^{-iH_{\text{noise}}\tau}\hat I</math>
raises fidelity to <math>F_{\text{logical}}\approx0.94</math>, 32

A dedicated hardware study on IBM’s 127-qubit '''ibm_kyiv''' and '''ibm_brisbane''' devices implemented five imprint–retrieval circuits that scale from a minimal three-qubit cell to a dual five-qubit cycle.<ref>{{cite arXiv |last1=Neukart |first1=Florian |last2=Marx |first2=Eike |last3=Vinokur |first3=Valerii |eprint=2502.15766v2 |title=Reversible Imprinting and Retrieval of Quantum Information: Experimental Verification of the Quantum Memory Matrix Hypothesis |date=2025 |class=physics.gen-ph }}</ref>
* The baseline three-qubit cycle reached a retrieval fidelity of <math>F_{\text{retr}} = 0.732 \pm 0.012</math>.
* Adding a second, independent memory cell preserved fidelity within 3
* Phase-evolution and controlled-error runs confirmed reversibility: deliberate phase errors (δ = π⁄8) were corrected to <math>F = 0.684 \pm 0.014</math>, while control runs without injected noise restored the baseline value.
Mutual-information analyses and Pearson correlations between field and output registers excluded classical leakage, establishing unitary, local storage and recovery of quantum information as predicted by QMM.

A follow-up experiment integrated a '''single-layer QMM dressing''' ahead of a length-3 repetition code on the same hardware.<ref>{{cite journal |last=Neukart |first=Florian |title=QMM-Enhanced Error Correction: Demonstrating Reversible Imprinting and Retrieval for Robust Quantum Computation |journal=Advanced Quantum Technologies |volume=?? |year=2025 |article-number=e2500262 |doi=10.1002/qute.202500262 |url=https://advanced.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/qute.202500262|url-access=subscription }}</ref>
* The hybrid “QMM + Rep-3” block achieved a logical fidelity of <math>F_{\text{logical}} = 0.941 \pm 0.004</math>, a '''32 % improvement''' over the bare repetition code at identical two-qubit-gate cost.
* Noise-calibrated simulations showed that stacking three QMM layers brings the logical error rate to within 20
Because the imprint layer is fully unitary and measurement-free, it operates as a lightweight "booster" compatible with architectures where rapid stabilizer read-out is impractical, providing empirical support for the broader claim that space-time may function as a distributed quantum memory.
