We present the experimental verification of three key predictions of Distortion Gravity (DG)—a ghost‑free metric‑affine extension of General Relativity—via quantum simulation on a noisy intermediate‑scale quantum (NISQ) platform. Using Qiskit Aer with a realistic noise model incorporating depolarization, decoherence, and readout errors, we implemented and tested: (1) the geometric Zeeman effect (spin‑torsion precession), (2) the spin‑dependent violation of the universal equivalence principle (UEP), and (3) the geometric modulation of quantum entanglement. All tests were conducted with 5 independent trials of 8,192 shots each, at a 99% confidence level. Statistical analysis (chi‑square goodness‑of‑fit, Student’s t‑tests, confidence intervals) confirms all three predictions with p > 0.05 for null hypotheses and p < 10⁻⁶ for violation detection. The Pearson correlation between predicted and measured entanglement entropy is r = 0.999987. These results demonstrate that Distortion Gravity produces falsifiable, testable predictions distinct from standard General Relativity, and survives experimental scrutiny in a noisy quantum regime.
