Ramachandra's lower-bound conjecture for Dirichlet polynomials

Let N2N\geq 2 be an integer and let ana_n be complex numbers for 2nN2\leq n\leq N. Ramachandra's conjecture. For each δ>0\delta>0, there exists an H>0H>0 such that

0H1+n=2Nannit2dt>δ,\int_0^H \left|1+\sum_{n=2}^N a_n n^{it}\right|^2\,dt>\delta,

for all integers N2N\geq 2 and all complex numbers ana_n. The conjecture asks for a uniform positive lower bound preventing these Dirichlet polynomials from approximating 1-1 too closely on every interval [0,H][0,H]; the supplied text gives no evidence of a resolution.
