Noncommuting Block Measurements Generate Quantum Diffusion: A Three-Obstruction Convergence Hierarchy, a Noncommutative Connectivity Gap, and Exact Algebraic Architectures

Lluis Eriksson

Abstract

Repeated projective measurements are usually discussed either in the ballistic Zeno scaling or after reduction to classical outcome probabilities. We study a different regime in which each nonselective measurement retains a full matrix algebra inside every degenerate outcome block. Let E(X)=sum_a P_a X P_a, let E_tau be its rotation by exp(-i tau H), and close one cycle by Phi_tau=E E_tau E. We prove, uniformly on compact time intervals and in diamond norm, that Phi_{sqrt(t/n)}^n converges to exp(-tK)E, where K=E ad_H(1-E)ad_H E=C_H^* C_H. The limit is a genuinely quantum Markov semigroup on the direct sum of the block matrix algebras, with explicit jumps sqrt(2) P_b H P_a. Beyond upper bounds, we identify three exact local obstructions for the unprocessed physical product. The cubic map M_H produces a nonzero n^{-1/2} coefficient; after it vanishes, the quartic product obstruction J_H produces a nonzero n^{-1} coefficient; after both vanish, the quintic obstruction P_H produces a nonzero n^{-3/2} coefficient. If all three vanish, the error is O(n^{-2}). All three coefficient transforms are injective. An exact three-record algebraic example has M_H=J_H=0 but P_H nonzero, proving that the third branch is attained. The fixed algebra is A intersect {H_off}', and the least singular value of the commutator frame C_H defines a noncommutative connectivity gap. In the primitive case that gap is the exact exponential mixing exponent in diamond norm and is Lipschitz robust under Hamiltonian perturbations. Rank-one blocks reduce exactly to twice the squared-coupling graph Laplacian. An eight-dimensional rational architecture with four qubit blocks is certified irreducible; its gap is the unique root in (0.4545,0.4547) of an explicit quartic. Symbolic certificates, semidefinite diamond-norm replays, and convergence tests accompany the paper.
