Many years ago Pierre Ramond suggested using the electromagnetic impedance model to calculate neutrino PMNS and quark CKM mixing matrices. Given the long-dreaded desert at the LHC (one Higgs and no SUSY), motivated in no small part by Carlo Rubbia's call for courage, and with neutrino oscillation in the foreground for both experimentalists and theorists, neutrinos took precedence over quarks in following Pierre's guidance. That focus led to conjecture on the role of neutrinos in low energy muon lifetime enhancement, complementary to high energy relativistic time dilation of the Muon Collider proposal. Serendipity recently offered a hand up, when it was realized that precise amplitudes emerging from the quantum impedance network PMNS calculations appear to be not of neutrinos, but rather the closely related quark mixing. What follows presents details of the quark mixing matrix calculation, and outlines an earlier similar QED calculation of π0, η, and ηu2032 branching ratios.
