Inputs

  • npx, nsx and nix are the pump, signal and idler vector magnitudes n (a function of the pump frequency or the phase matching properties of a nonlinear optical crystal) respectively identified with the subscripts p, s and i followed by an x or y representing the coordinate axis.

Terms

  • θsi can be measured as the polarization angle of quantum entangled X-rays at the degenerate frequency of a maximal Bell state. As an angle θsi=3.26239 rad ± 2 μrad; as a momentum θsi=3.26239030392(48) kg m s-1 and with respect to the Target Frame, θsi has no units. The relation of angle and mass is mathematically demonstrated, as well, by No-Ping Chen, et. al.
  • lf, mf and tf are the fundamental measures, more precise expressions for Planck’s units – length, mass, and time – that consider the effects of length contraction associated with discrete measure.
  • QL is the fractional portion of a count of lf when engaging in a more precise calculation.
  • nLr describes the count of lf representative of the position of an observable with respect to the frame of a center of mass.
  • c is the speed of light which may also be written as c=nLlf/nTtf=299,792,458 m/s such that nL=nT=1 is physically significant.
  • G is the gravitational constant, 6.6740779428(56) 10-11m3kg-1s-2 such that its value considers the effects of length contraction associated with discrete measure at the upper count limit. Italicized G identifies a measure not at the limit (e.g., G=6.6738448362(53) 10-11m3kg-1s-2 at the blackbody demarcation).
  • r is the distance between an observer and a target.

Discussion

The fundamental constant θsi is new to modern physics, a measure that when considered with respect to the fundamental expression lfmf=2θsitf can be used to resolve expressions and values for the physical constants. Importantly, all phenomena can be described using counts of the fundamental measures, θsi and/or some combination of the fundamental measures: lf for length, mf for mass and tf for time.

While θsi can be understood as half of the Planck momentum, we call to the reader's attention that θsi is also equal in magnitude to the angle of polarization associated with the signal and idler of polarization entangled photons at the degenerate frequency. As resolved by Shwartz and Harris, θsi can be measured as the angle of polarization for X-rays in a given Bell state at their degenerate frequency, specifically the maximum angle of that measure. Modeled values matching measurement are presented in their 2011 paper, Polarization Entangled Photons at X-ray Energies.

Examples of expressions written using only the fundamental measures include Einstein’s expression for energy, E=2θsic; Hubble’s constant when defined with respect to the radius of the universe, HU=2θsi; Newton’s constant of gravitation G=c3lf/2θsi and the reduced Planck constant ħ=2θsilf.

Lastly, we bring to the reader's attention that the fundamental constant is applicable and fixed for all frames of reference. But, its units are a function of the frame and approach to its measure. This is in part because the fundamental constant θsi is a composite of the fundamental measures. Depending on the frame of reference, θsi can have units of momentum, angular measure or no units at all. That is, θsi's dimensional qualities are a function of the frame of reference.

The most common units for θsi are that of momentum; its definition a function of the Internal Frame of the universe. If the frame of reference is the System Frame, θsi will carry no units. This follows in that the universe has no external reference. And in specific situations when describing quantum phenomena, θsi can be used to describe an angle. This we describe above with respect to experiments carried out by Shwartz, et. al.
