2026-08-17 · Symmetry-reduced, grid/domain-converged fixed-frequency launch gates
780 nm production optimizer qualification
All five launch gates pass for the fixed-frequency 780 nm atom-coupling optimizer. Component-correct parity cuts the production system from 235,200 physical unknowns to 29,499, grid/domain changes are 0.36%/1.19%, and an exact-grid trial improves coupling. The exact production-grid Q diagnostic reports no pole in the target window.
Decision. Proceed with the full fixed-frequency atom-coupling optimization on the qualified 40 x 70 x 28 configuration. Under the discovery cadence adopted on 2026-08-18, run the full Q diagnostic every tenth step and mark intervening checkpoints provisional; make no resonant-cavity claim until a physical 780 nm pole is independently reacquired.
