In this discretized, Planck-scale formulation, each space\u2013time cell possesses a finite-dimensional Hilbert space that acts as a local memory, or quantum imprint, for matter and gauge field configurations. We focus on embedding non-Abelian SU(3)c (quantum chromodynamics) and SU(2)L \u00d7 U(1)Y (electroweak interactions) into QMM by constructing gauge-invariant imprint operators for quarks, gluons, electroweak bosons, and the Higgs mechanism. This unified approach naturally enforces unitarity by allowing black hole horizons, or any high-curvature region, to store and later retrieve quantum information about color and electroweak charges, thereby preserving subtle non-thermal correlations in evaporation processes. Moreover, the discretized nature of QMM imposes a Planck-scale cutoff, potentially taming UV divergences and modifying running couplings at trans-Planckian energies. We outline major challenges, such as the precise formulation of non-Abelian imprint operators and the integration of QMM with loop quantum gravity, as well as possible observational strategies\u2014ranging from rare decay channels to primordial black hole evaporation spectra\u2014that could provide indirect probes of this discrete, memory-based view of quantum gravity and the Standard Model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e27020153","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,3]],"date-time":"2025-02-03T05:36:32Z","timestamp":1738560992000},"page":"153","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Extending the QMM Framework to the Strong and Weak Interactions"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2562-1618","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Florian","family":"Neukart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Leiden Institute of Advanced Computer Science, Leiden University, Gorlaeus Gebouw-BE-Vleugel, Einsteinweg 55, 2333 Leiden, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Terra Quantum AG, Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0004-0228-1296","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eike","family":"Marx","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Terra Quantum AG, Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0977-3515","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Valerii","family":"Vinokur","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Terra Quantum AG, Kornhausstrasse 25, 9000 St. Gallen, Switzerland"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Weinberg, S.
