Quantum Error-Corrected Memories Keep Proper Time

What does quantum error correction do to relativistic proper time? We show that when two error-corrected quantum memories follow distinct worldlines and are controlled by local references, their local correction histories factor exactly from the proper-time difference between them. Error correction therefore does not erase time dilation: when the memories are compared, the accumulated difference appears as a relational phase rotation. During locally referenced operation this rotation is invisible to every local error syndrome; at discrete phases admitted by a code, the final relational evolution instead returns exactly as a deterministic logical gate, including an S-type Clifford gate at a π/2 excursion. These results connect fault-tolerant quantum information with relativistic clocks and establish protected quantum memories as a platform for preserving proper-time information and for long-coherence tests of quantum evolution involving relativistic proper time.
