Motivation

Multivariate Decoded Quantum Interferometry for Weighted Optimization establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let ppp be prime and 1≤r<p1\le r<p1≤r<p. Let B∈Fpm×nB\in\mathbb F_p^{m\times n}B∈Fpm×n​ with m>0m>0m>0, and let Li⊆FpL_i\subseteq\mathbb F_pLi​⊆Fp​ have cardinality rrr. Define fi(y)=1f_i(y)=1fi​(y)=1 on LiL_iLi​ and fi(y)=−1f_i(y)=-1fi​(y)=−1 otherwise. Partition [m][m][m] into nonempty blocks S1,…,SNS_1,\ldots,S_NS1​,…,SN​, write mt=∣St∣m_t=|S_t|mt​=∣St​∣, and assign positive weights gtg_tgt​. Put Ft(x)=∑i∈Stfi(bi⋅x)F_t(x)=\sum_{i\in S_t}f_i(b_i\cdot x)Ft​(x)=∑i∈St​​fi​(bi​⋅x) and Fg(x)=∑tgtFt(x)F_g(x)=\sum_t g_tF_t(x)Fg​(x)=∑t​gt​Ft​(x), where bib_ibi​ is row iii of BBB and x∈Fpnx\in\mathbb F_p^nx∈Fpn​.

Fix an exact degree ratio μ=ℓ/m∈(0,1/2)\mu=\ell/m\in(0,1/2)μ=ℓ/m∈(0,1/2), with integer ℓ\ellℓ, and assume 2ℓ+1<d⊥2\ell+1<d^\perp2ℓ+1<d⊥, where d⊥d^\perpd⊥ is the minimum nonzero Hamming weight in ker⁡B⊤\ker B^\topkerB⊤ (infinite when this kernel is zero). Let EoptE_{\mathrm{opt}}Eopt​ be the supremum of ∑x∣ψP(x)∣2Fg(x)\sum_x|\psi_P(x)|^2F_g(x)∑x​∣ψP​(x)∣2Fg​(x) over complex multivariate polynomials of total degree at most ℓ\ellℓ such that ψP(x)=P(F1(x),…,FN(x))\psi_P(x)=P(F_1(x),\ldots,F_N(x))ψP​(x)=P(F1​(x),…,FN​(x)) has unit norm. This supremum is attained by an admissible polynomial.

For each fixed κ\kappaκ, there are Cκ>0C_\kappa>0Cκ​>0 and an integer m0m_0m0​, chosen before all other instance data and μ\muμ, such that every admissible instance with m≥m0m\ge m_0m≥m0​ satisfies

Along any admissible family with fixed κ,μ,N\kappa,\mu,Nκ,μ,N, unbounded mmm, and eventually bounded max⁡tgt\max_tg_tmaxt​gt​, the residual RRR tends to zero. No convergence of block proportions is required.

This characterizes the asymptotically optimal signed weighted objective among multivariate DQI states. It does not impose decoder access or a preparation complexity bound.

Significance

These are known results from the cited paper. The current contribution consists of source-reviewed, compiler-checked theorem statements and mathematical definitions. Formal proofs remain open. Only the listed selected results are in scope; no whole-paper completeness is claimed.

Difficulty

A complete solution must establish every quantified conclusion under the exact stated hypotheses, including error, probability and resource conditions wherever present. The source assumptions and conventions are recorded in the attached statements and independent readbacks.

Formalization scope

Definitions preserve the existing reviewed Lean interfaces. Every target proof is currently sorry, so each target is Open. Printed-source corrections, where necessary, are labeled with the printed claim, the change and its reason.

Randomized and quantum approximate matrix multiplicationResearch Paper

Motivation

Randomized and quantum approximate matrix multiplication establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix a classical exact-arithmetic matrix multiplication implementation with achievable exponent ω≥2\omega\ge 2ω≥2. Let n≥1n\ge1n≥1, K≥1K\ge1K≥1, and let A1,…,AK∈Rn×nA_1,\ldots,A_K\in\mathbb R^{n\times n}A1​,…,AK​∈Rn×n be arbitrary matrices. Write F=∏j=1K∥Aj∥FF=\prod_{j=1}^K\|A_j\|_FF=∏j=1K​∥Aj​∥F​, where ∥A∥F=(∑i,jAij2)1/2\|A\|_F=(\sum_{i,j}A_{ij}^2)^{1/2}∥A∥F​=(∑i,j​Aij2​)1/2. Given absolute accuracy ε>0\varepsilon>0ε>0 and failure probability 0<δ<10<\delta<10<δ<1, there are fixed input-taking classical and quantum circuit families, with classical preprocessing time O~(Kn2)\widetilde O(Kn^2)O(Kn2), which return classical matrices CclC_{\rm cl}Ccl​ and CqC_{\rm q}Cq​ satisfying

Pr⁡ ⁣[∥Ccl−A1⋯AK∥F≤ε]≥1−δ,Pr⁡ ⁣[max⁡i,j∣(Cq−A1⋯AK)ij∣≤ε]≥1−δ.\Pr\!\left[\|C_{\rm cl}-A_1\cdots A_K\|_F\le\varepsilon\right]\ge1-\delta, \qquad \Pr\!\left[\max_{i,j}|(C_{\rm q}-A_1\cdots A_K)_{ij}|\le\varepsilon\right]\ge1-\delta.Pr[∥Ccl​−A1​⋯AK​∥F​≤ε]≥1−δ,Pr[i,jmax​∣(Cq​−A1​⋯AK​)ij​∣≤ε]≥1−δ.

Apart from input/output and preprocessing overhead, their running times are respectively

O~ ⁣(n2(3KF2ε2)ω−2),O~ ⁣(n23KFε).\widetilde O\!\left(n^2\left(\frac{3^K F^2}{\varepsilon^2}\right)^{\omega-2}\right), \qquad \widetilde O\!\left(n^2\frac{3^K F}{\varepsilon}\right).O(n2(ε23KF2​)ω−2),O(n2ε3KF​).

The soft factors include the confidence logarithms and are uniform over dimensions, factors, matrix entries, accuracy, and confidence; constants may depend on the chosen multiplication implementation. Real numbers are represented exactly, and fixed-position retrieval and arithmetic are charged in both models. The quantum output is an ordinary classical matrix. No efficiently addressable classical or quantum memory is required.

The case K=1K=1K=1 returns the input matrix exactly. For K>1K>1K>1 and F≤εF\le\varepsilonF≤ε, both families return zero; this includes every zero factor. These branches still pay for the input and classical output. The displayed online scales are clamped below by n2n^2n2, and the formal total bound includes Kn2Kn^2Kn2 explicitly. This result compares approximate products in two different error norms under the same circuit access model.

Formalization Note Lean uses k=K−1k=K-1k=K−1 interfaces and computes F2F^2F2 during charged classical preprocessing. Rounded, confidence-dependent sample budgets select members of circuit families fixed before the matrices. The classical law is computed from one fixed list of exact-real arithmetic, random-coin and comparison instructions, with each comparison writing a 0/1 register value and every instruction charged; quantum probabilities and work are computed from the frozen exact-real mean-estimation circuit language. No approximation guarantee or arbitrary runtime number is assumed as a field of an algorithm.

Fast Convex Optimization with Quantum Gradient MethodsResearch Paper

Motivation

Fast Convex Optimization with Quantum Gradient Methods establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let X⊆RdX\subseteq\mathbb R^dX⊆Rd be closed, bounded and convex, let x1∈Xx_1\in Xx1​∈X, and let f:Rd→Rf:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb Rf:Rd→R be convex and ambient GGG-Lipschitz in the stated norm. Assume an attained constrained optimum x⋆x^\starx⋆, and 0<ε<10<\varepsilon<10<ε<1. Both branches use coherent binary evaluations on sufficiently fine finite translated hypergrids: every grid index is preserved, the encoded value has error strictly below θ\thetaθ, and calls to the unitary and its adjoint are counted. The algorithm construction is fixed before the objective, optimum and oracle values; only geometry and supplied numerical scale bounds enter its construction.

  1. Euclidean branch. Set R=∥x1−x⋆∥2R=\|x_1-x^\star\|_2R=∥x1​−x⋆∥2​, K=diam⁡2(X)K=\operatorname{diam}_2(X)K=diam2​(X), T=max⁡{1,⌈(3GR/ε)2⌉}T=\max\{1,\lceil(3GR/\varepsilon)^2\rceil\}T=max{1,⌈(3GR/ε)2⌉}, r1=ε/(6Gd)r_1=\varepsilon/(6G\sqrt d)r1​=ε/(6Gd​), ρ=1/(3T)\rho=1/(3T)ρ=1/(3T), and η=R/(GT)\eta=R/(G\sqrt T)η=R/(GT​). QPSM uses the actual Jordan subgradient-output law of Lemma A.1 at each current center, followed by the supplied exact Euclidean projection. For positive d,G,R,θd,G,R,\thetad,G,R,θ, impose θ≤r1dG/ρ\theta\le r_1dG/\rhoθ≤r1​dG/ρ and the independent-diameter precision budget
234θd4RT ρr1+(23d)2KθGρr1≤ε3.23^4\frac{\theta d^4R}{\sqrt T\,\rho r_1} +(23d)^2K\sqrt{\frac{\theta G}{\rho r_1}}\le\frac{\varepsilon}{3}.234T​ρr1​θd4R​+(23d)2Kρr1​θG​​≤3ε​.

A sufficient scale is a small absolute constant times

min⁡{ε3G2R2d9/2,ε5G4R2K2d9/2,r1dGρ}.\min\left\{\frac{\varepsilon^3}{G^2R^2d^{9/2}}, \frac{\varepsilon^5}{G^4R^2K^2d^{9/2}}, \frac{r_1dG}{\rho}\right\}.min{G2R2d9/2ε3​,G4R2K2d9/2ε5​,ρr1​dG​}.
  1. Mirror branch. Fix p∈[1,∞]p\in[1,\infty]p∈[1,∞], p≠2p\ne2p=2, and its Hölder-conjugate exponent. Let PPP be open convex, X⊆P‾X\subseteq\overline PX⊆P, X∩P≠∅X\cap P\ne\varnothingX∩P=∅, and x1,x⋆∈X∩Px_1,x^\star\in X\cap Px1​,x⋆∈X∩P. The supplied mirror map Φ\PhiΦ is strictly convex and differentiable on PPP, its gradient takes every dual value and diverges at the boundary, and it is μ\muμ-strongly convex on X∩PX\cap PX∩P in the chosen norm, with μ>0\mu>0μ>0. Exact inverse-gradient operations and attained Bregman projections are supplied. Define R=DΦ(x⋆,x1)R=\sqrt{D_\Phi(x^\star,x_1)}R=DΦ​(x⋆,x1​)​, K=diam⁡p(X)K=\operatorname{diam}_p(X)K=diamp​(X), T=max⁡{1,⌈(6GR/(με))2⌉}T=\max\{1,\lceil(6GR/(\sqrt\mu\varepsilon))^2\rceil\}T=max{1,⌈(6GR/(μ​ε))2⌉}, r1=ε/(6Gϑ)r_1=\varepsilon/(6G\vartheta)r1​=ε/(6Gϑ), ρ=1/(3T)\rho=1/(3T)ρ=1/(3T), and η=(R/G)μ/T\eta=(R/G)\sqrt{\mu/T}η=(R/G)μ/T​. Here 1≤ϑ,ϑ⋆≤d1\le\vartheta,\vartheta_\star\le d1≤ϑ,ϑ⋆​≤d, ϑϑ⋆≤d\vartheta\vartheta_\star\le dϑϑ⋆​≤d, ∥v∥p≤ϑ∥v∥∞\|v\|_p\le\vartheta\|v\|_\infty∥v∥p​≤ϑ∥v∥∞​, and ∥g∥⋆≤ϑ⋆∥g∥∞\|g\|_\star\le\vartheta_\star\|g\|_\infty∥g∥⋆​≤ϑ⋆​∥g∥∞​. Require θ≤r1dG/ρ\theta\le r_1dG/\rhoθ≤r1​dG/ρ and
2GRμT+232ϑ⋆Kθd3Gρr1+2Gϑr1+234ϑ⋆2RμTθd3ρr1≤ε.\frac{2GR}{\sqrt{\mu T}} +23^2\vartheta_\star K\sqrt{\frac{\theta d^3G}{\rho r_1}} +2G\vartheta r_1 +23^4\vartheta_\star^2\frac{R}{\sqrt{\mu T}}\frac{\theta d^3}{\rho r_1} \le\varepsilon.μT​2GR​+232ϑ⋆​Kρr1​θd3G​​+2Gϑr1​+234ϑ⋆2​μT​R​ρr1​θd3​≤ε.

This retains both noise terms; a sufficient positive precision takes the minimum of the lemma guard and small absolute multiples of με5/(G4R2K2ϑ⋆2ϑd3)\mu\varepsilon^5/(G^4R^2K^2\vartheta_\star^2\vartheta d^3)με5/(G4R2K2ϑ⋆2​ϑd3) and με3/(G2R2ϑ⋆2ϑd3)\mu\varepsilon^3/(G^2R^2\vartheta_\star^2\vartheta d^3)με3/(G2R2ϑ⋆2​ϑd3).

In either branch the classical output is the average of the first TTT iterates, and

Pr⁡[xˉ∈X, f(xˉ)−f(x⋆)≤ε]≥2/3.\Pr[\bar x\in X,\ f(\bar x)-f(x^\star)\le\varepsilon]\ge2/3.Pr[xˉ∈X, f(xˉ)−f(x⋆)≤ε]≥2/3.

The query costs are O(Tmax⁡{1,log⁡(3dT)})O(T\max\{1,\log(3dT)\})O(Tmax{1,log(3dT)}), with absolute constants common to all data, yielding O~((GR/ε)2)\widetilde O((GR/\varepsilon)^2)O((GR/ε)2) and O~((GR/(με))2)\widetilde O((GR/(\sqrt\mu\varepsilon))^2)O((GR/(μ​ε))2), respectively. Quantum arithmetic uses O~(dT)\widetilde O(dT)O(dT) gates, with binary word length and inverse precision exposed as polynomial arithmetic factors. Supplied geometric operations cost at most T(TΠ+1)T(T_\Pi+1)T(TΠ​+1) and TTnextTT_{\rm next}TTnext​, respectively. All bounds apply on positive-probability branches. Conditional per-call failure control suffices; independence is not assumed.

Zero-dimensional, constant-objective, zero-radius, singleton, or already-accurate regimes return the feasible start with zero queries before divisions. In particular, a start is already accurate if ε≥GK\varepsilon\ge GKε≥GK, or ε≥GR\varepsilon\ge GRε≥GR in the Euclidean branch, or ε≥GR2/μ\varepsilon\ge GR\sqrt{2/\mu}ε≥GR2/μ​ in the mirror branch.

The result shows that quantum zeroth-order methods attain the corresponding first-order nonsmooth query rates. Formalization Note: This uses the formal appendix scope, including ambient Lipschitz control, rather than the informal “on XXX” access description. The Euclidean precision corrects B.3's omitted independent KKK; its printed R4R^4R4 denominator follows in the domain-radius regime K≤2RK\le2RK≤2R, which is not implied by an initial distance. The mirror radius is computed from the Bregman divergence, not introduced by an arbitrary equality. The finite-grid compilation and adaptive execution definitions are submitted for local definition review.

  1. Mirror branch. Fix p∈[1,∞]p\in[1,\infty]p∈[1,∞], p≠2p\ne2p=2, and its Hölder-conjugate exponent. Let PPP be open convex, X⊆P‾X\subseteq\overline PX⊆P, X∩P≠∅X\cap P\ne\varnothingX∩P=∅, and x1,x⋆∈X∩Px_1,x^\star\in X\cap Px1​,x⋆∈X∩P. The supplied mirror map Φ\PhiΦ is strictly convex and differentiable on PPP, its gradient takes every dual value and diverges at the boundary, and it is μ\muμ-strongly convex on X∩PX\cap PX∩P in the chosen norm, with μ>0\mu>0μ>0. Exact inverse-gradient operations and attained Bregman projections are supplied. Define R=DΦ(x⋆,x1)R=\sqrt{D_\Phi(x^\star,x_1)}R=DΦ​(x⋆,x1​)​, K=diam⁡p(X)K=\operatorname{diam}_p(X)K=diamp​(X), T=max⁡{1,⌈(6GR/(με))2⌉}T=\max\{1,\lceil(6GR/(\sqrt\mu\varepsilon))^2\rceil\}T=max{1,⌈(6GR/(μ​ε))2⌉}, r1=ε/(6Gϑ)r_1=\varepsilon/(6G\vartheta)r1​=ε/(6Gϑ), ρ=1/(3T)\rho=1/(3T)ρ=1/(3T), and η=(R/G)μ/T\eta=(R/G)\sqrt{\mu/T}η=(R/G)μ/T​. Here 1≤ϑ,ϑ⋆≤d1\le\vartheta,\vartheta_\star\le d1≤ϑ,ϑ⋆​≤d, ϑϑ⋆≤d\vartheta\vartheta_\star\le dϑϑ⋆​≤d, ∥v∥p≤ϑ∥v∥∞\|v\|_p\le\vartheta\|v\|_\infty∥v∥p​≤ϑ∥v∥∞​, and ∥g∥⋆≤ϑ⋆∥g∥∞\|g\|_\star\le\vartheta_\star\|g\|_\infty∥g∥⋆​≤ϑ⋆​∥g∥∞​. Require θ≤r1dG/ρ\theta\le r_1dG/\rhoθ≤r1​dG/ρ and

This retains both noise terms; a sufficient positive precision takes the minimum of the lemma guard and small absolute multiples of με5/(G4R2K2ϑ⋆2ϑd3)\mu\varepsilon^5/(G^4R^2K^2\vartheta_\star^2\vartheta d^3)με5/(G4R2K2ϑ⋆2​ϑd3) and με3/(G2R2ϑ⋆2ϑd3)\mu\varepsilon^3/(G^2R^2\vartheta_\star^2\vartheta d^3)με3/(G2R2ϑ⋆2​ϑd3).

In either branch the classical output is the average of the first TTT iterates, and

Pr⁡[xˉ∈X, f(xˉ)−f(x⋆)≤ε]≥2/3.\Pr[\bar x\in X,\ f(\bar x)-f(x^\star)\le\varepsilon]\ge2/3.Pr[xˉ∈X, f(xˉ)−f(x⋆)≤ε]≥2/3.

The query costs are O(Tmax⁡{1,log⁡(3dT)})O(T\max\{1,\log(3dT)\})O(Tmax{1,log(3dT)}), with absolute constants common to all data, yielding O~((GR/ε)2)\widetilde O((GR/\varepsilon)^2)O((GR/ε)2) and O~((GR/(με))2)\widetilde O((GR/(\sqrt\mu\varepsilon))^2)O((GR/(μ​ε))2), respectively. Quantum arithmetic uses O~(dT)\widetilde O(dT)O(dT) gates, with binary word length and inverse precision exposed as polynomial arithmetic factors. Supplied geometric operations cost at most T(TΠ+1)T(T_\Pi+1)T(TΠ​+1) and TTnextTT_{\rm next}TTnext​, respectively. All bounds apply on positive-probability branches. Conditional per-call failure control suffices; independence is not assumed.

Zero-dimensional, constant-objective, zero-radius, singleton, or already-accurate regimes return the feasible start with zero queries before divisions. In particular, a start is already accurate if ε≥GK\varepsilon\ge GKε≥GK, or ε≥GR\varepsilon\ge GRε≥GR in the Euclidean branch, or ε≥GR2/μ\varepsilon\ge GR\sqrt{2/\mu}ε≥GR2/μ​ in the mirror branch.

The result shows that quantum zeroth-order methods attain the corresponding first-order nonsmooth query rates. Formalization Note: This uses the formal appendix scope, including ambient Lipschitz control, rather than the informal “on XXX” access description. The Euclidean precision corrects B.3's omitted independent KKK; its printed R4R^4R4 denominator follows in the domain-radius regime K≤2RK\le2RK≤2R, which is not implied by an initial distance. The mirror radius is computed from the Bregman divergence, not introduced by an arbitrary equality. The finite-grid compilation and adaptive execution definitions are submitted for local definition review.

Quantum Signal Processing and Quantum Singular Value Transformation on U(N)U(N)U(N)Research Paper

Motivation

Quantum Signal Processing and Quantum Singular Value Transformation on U(N)U(N)U(N) establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let d≥0d\geq 0d≥0 be an integer and let P=(Pkj)P=(P_{kj})P=(Pkj​) be an r×cr\times cr×c matrix of complex polynomials, with r,c≥1r,c\geq 1r,c≥1. Each entry has degree at most ddd and parity ddd: Pkj(−x)=(−1)dPkj(x)P_{kj}(-x)=(-1)^dP_{kj}(x)Pkj​(−x)=(−1)dPkj​(x). Suppose

Ic−P(x)†P(x)⪰0for every x∈[−1,1].I_c-P(x)^\dagger P(x)\succeq 0\qquad\text{for every }x\in[-1,1].Ic​−P(x)†P(x)⪰0for every x∈[−1,1].

Let I,O,K\mathcal I,\mathcal O,\mathcal KI,O,K be positive finite input, output, and signal registers, and fix known isometric computational-basis embeddings ι:I↪K\iota:\mathcal I\hookrightarrow\mathcal Kι:I↪K and ω:O↪K\omega:\mathcal O\hookrightarrow\mathcal Kω:O↪K. The mixing register has qqq qubits, with fixed embeddings of the ccc input labels and rrr output labels in its 2q2^q2q basis states; unused rows and columns are zero padded. An admissible oracle is any unitary UUU on K\mathcal KK with exact unscaled block A=U[ω,ι]:I→OA=U[\omega,\iota]:\mathcal I\to\mathcal OA=U[ω,ι]:I→O.

There are d+1d+1d+1 known unitary mixers on the mixing register enlarged by one flag qubit, and a fixed identification of the flag and mixing registers, chosen from P,dP,dP,d and the known embeddings before UUU or AAA is supplied. The resulting synthesis circuit alternates these known operations with exactly ddd uncontrolled oracle calls U,U†,U,U†,…U,U^\dagger,U,U^\dagger,\ldotsU,U†,U,U†,…. A mixer acts conditioned on the known input signal projector at even stages and the known output signal projector at odd stages. For every admissible oracle and every family of input vectors ϕj∈I\phi_j\in\mathcal Iϕj​∈I, the entire flag-zero component of its output is

∣0⟩flag∑k=1r∣k⟩mix ιd ⁣(∑j=1cPkj(SV)(A)ϕj).|0\rangle_{\mathrm{flag}}\sum_{k=1}^{r}|k\rangle_{\mathrm{mix}}\,\iota_d\!\left(\sum_{j=1}^{c}P_{kj}^{(\mathrm{SV})}(A)\phi_j\right).∣0⟩flag​k=1∑r​∣k⟩mix​ιd​(j=1∑c​Pkj(SV)​(A)ϕj​).

Here the input is ∣0⟩flag∑j=1c∣j⟩mix ι(ϕj)|0\rangle_{\mathrm{flag}}\sum_{j=1}^{c}|j\rangle_{\mathrm{mix}}\,\iota(\phi_j)∣0⟩flag​∑j=1c​∣j⟩mix​ι(ϕj​), and ιd=ι\iota_d=\iotaιd​=ι for even ddd and ιd=ω\iota_d=\omegaιd​=ω for odd ddd. Writing Pkj(x)=∑apkj,axaP_{kj}(x)=\sum_a p_{kj,a}x^aPkj​(x)=∑a​pkj,a​xa, the singular-value transforms are

Pkj(SV)(A)={∑a=0⌊d/2⌋pkj,2a(A†A)a,d even,∑a=0⌊d/2⌋pkj,2a+1A(A†A)a,d odd.P_{kj}^{(\mathrm{SV})}(A)= \begin{cases} \displaystyle\sum_{a=0}^{\lfloor d/2\rfloor}p_{kj,2a}(A^\dagger A)^a,&d\text{ even},\\[4pt] \displaystyle\sum_{a=0}^{\lfloor d/2\rfloor}p_{kj,2a+1}A(A^\dagger A)^a,&d\text{ odd}. \end{cases}Pkj(SV)​(A)=⎩⎨⎧​a=0∑⌊d/2⌋​pkj,2a​(A†A)a,a=0∑⌊d/2⌋​pkj,2a+1​A(A†A)a,​d even,d odd.​

All remaining amplitude lies in flag one. This simultaneously block-encodes the whole polynomial matrix at normalization one and error zero, without a positive success-probability guarantee. The formula includes the input kernel in the even case, where the constant coefficient acts as a multiple of the identity. Singular AAA, rectangular AAA and PPP, zero PPP, and d=0d=0d=0 are permitted. A normalized joint input gives a physical state, while the equality itself is linear and holds for all vectors.

This theorem supplies coherent matrix-valued singular-value synthesis under a single matrix contraction condition. No Hermiticity, invertibility, determinant constraint, finite gate set, or classical synthesis-time estimate is imposed.

Formalization Note The printed Theorem 10 omits the degree and common-parity requirements used by its proof; these are explicit here. The output signal zero register and the orientation of the singular-vector decomposition are corrected according to Eqs. (1) and (31)–(35). The printed claim and these corrections are recorded separately in the audit notes. Known embeddings express the all-zero signal-ancilla subspaces in register-independent coordinates.

Quantum speedups for stochastic optimizationResearch Paper

Motivation

Quantum speedups for stochastic optimization establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let d≥1d\ge 1d≥1 and let f:Rd→Rf:\mathbb R^d\to\mathbb Rf:Rd→R be differentiable and globally convex. Suppose fff attains its global minimum at a point x⋆x_\starx⋆​ with ∥x⋆∥2≤R\|x_\star\|_2\le R∥x⋆​∥2​≤R, where L,R≥0L,R\ge0L,R≥0 are public bounds. For every query point xxx, the stochastic gradient is drawn from a measurable probability law satisfying

E[g(x)]=∇f(x),E∥g(x)∥22≤L2.\mathbb E[g(x)]=\nabla f(x),\qquad \mathbb E\|g(x)\|_2^2\le L^2.E[g(x)]=∇f(x),E∥g(x)∥22​≤L2.

Assume coherent unitary access to this gradient law, preserving the query point and allowing arbitrary garbage, and access to the inverse oracle. The implementation uses normalized zero registers, Born measurement laws, and known Gaussian preparation and reordering operations that construct the smoothed oracle with one gradient-oracle call. These operations and the mean-estimation routine are fixed before the unknown objective and oracle. The mean-estimation interface cited on p.8 is realized, rather than assumed as a convergence hypothesis: for any sampling oracle with variance at most L2L^2L2, requested error 0<η≤L0<\eta\le L0<η≤L, and 0<δ<10<\delta<10<δ<1, its execution has total probability one and finite expected calls, and its estimate is within Euclidean distance η\etaη of the mean with probability at least 1−δ1-\delta1−δ.

For any ϵ>0\epsilon>0ϵ>0, run Algorithm 3 with fresh Algorithm 2 gradient estimates. In the nontrivial case L,R>0L,R>0L,R>0 and ϵ<LR\epsilon<LRϵ<LR, its parameters are

T=⌈4d1/4LR/ϵ⌉,σ^=d1/88LϵR,r=ϵ4dL,γ=R6L/r(T+2)3/2σ^.T=\left\lceil4d^{1/4}LR/\epsilon\right\rceil,\quad \widehat\sigma=\frac{d^{1/8}}8\sqrt{\frac{L\epsilon}{R}},\quad r=\frac{\epsilon}{4\sqrt d L},\quad \gamma=\frac{R\sqrt{6L/r}}{(T+2)^{3/2}\widehat\sigma}.T=⌈4d1/4LR/ϵ⌉,σ=8d1/8​RLϵ​​,r=4d​Lϵ​,γ=(T+2)3/2σR6L/r​​.

It starts from x1=x1ag=0x_1=x_1^{\mathrm{ag}}=0x1​=x1ag​=0. At iteration ttt, set βt=(t+1)/2\beta_t=(t+1)/2βt​=(t+1)/2, γt=(t+1)γ/2\gamma_t=(t+1)\gamma/2γt​=(t+1)γ/2, and xtmd=βt−1xt+(1−βt−1)xtagx_t^{\mathrm{md}}=\beta_t^{-1}x_t+(1-\beta_t^{-1})x_t^{\mathrm{ag}}xtmd​=βt−1​xt​+(1−βt−1​)xtag​. Use Algorithm 2 on the Gaussian-smoothed gradient law at xtmdx_t^{\mathrm{md}}xtmd​, then use the printed ball-constrained update

The returned point is xout=xT+1agx_{\mathrm{out}}=x_{T+1}^{\mathrm{ag}}xout​=xT+1ag​. The same execution, including its classical randomness and quantum measurements, has total probability one and satisfies

E[f(xout)−f(x⋆)]≤ϵ,E[Q]=O~ ⁣(d5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2).\mathbb E[f(x_{\mathrm{out}})-f(x_\star)]\le\epsilon,\qquad \mathbb E[Q]=\widetilde O\!\left(d^{5/8}(LR/\epsilon)^{3/2}\right).E[f(xout​)−f(x⋆​)]≤ϵ,E[Q]=O(d5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2).

Here QQQ counts every call to the original gradient oracle and its inverse. Its expectation is finite; the positive geometric level in Algorithm 2 allows an unbounded query count. Explicitly, there are absolute constants C>0C>0C>0, an integer p≥0p\ge0p≥0, and a threshold a≥1a\ge1a≥1, all independent of the dimension, bounds, accuracy, objective, probability laws, and register realization, such that whenever LR/ϵ≥aLR/\epsilon\ge aLR/ϵ≥a,

E[Q]≤Cd5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2max⁡{1,log⁡(2+d)+∣log⁡ϵ∣+∣log⁡L∣+∣log⁡R∣}p.\mathbb E[Q]\le C d^{5/8}(LR/\epsilon)^{3/2} \max\{1,\log(2+d)+|\log\epsilon|+|\log L|+|\log R|\}^{p}.E[Q]≤Cd5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2max{1,log(2+d)+∣logϵ∣+∣logL∣+∣logR∣}p.

If L=0L=0L=0, R=0R=0R=0, or ϵ≥LR\epsilon\ge LRϵ≥LR, the implementation returns 000 with no queries and retains the expected-accuracy guarantee. The minimizing point x⋆x_\starx⋆​ is used only to express the guarantee and is not supplied to the algorithm. This result gives the expected-query speedup of the paper's quantum accelerated stochastic approximation method; it asserts no gate-complexity or fixed-confidence output bound.

Formalization Note The real iteration budget on p.13 is rounded upward to define a finite loop. The statement preserves the proximal center and all other displayed constants. The p.13/p.15 pointwise gradient assertion is incompatible with the stated second-moment hypothesis; the proof also contains an extra factor 1/r1/r1/r, a reversed optimum-gap sign, and a constant gap in its use of Lemma 5. These are disclosed proof gaps, not additional hypotheses or silent changes to Algorithm 3. No directional-mean definition is imported or reconstructed.

Target

Here QQQ counts every call to the original gradient oracle and its inverse. Its expectation is finite; the positive geometric level in Algorithm 2 allows an unbounded query count. Explicitly, there are absolute constants C>0C>0C>0, an integer p≥0p\ge0p≥0, and a threshold a≥1a\ge1a≥1, all independent of the dimension, bounds, accuracy, objective, probability laws, and register realization, such that whenever LR/ϵ≥aLR/\epsilon\ge aLR/ϵ≥a,

E[Q]≤Cd5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2max⁡{1,log⁡(2+d)+∣log⁡ϵ∣+∣log⁡L∣+∣log⁡R∣}p.\mathbb E[Q]\le C d^{5/8}(LR/\epsilon)^{3/2} \max\{1,\log(2+d)+|\log\epsilon|+|\log L|+|\log R|\}^{p}.E[Q]≤Cd5/8(LR/ϵ)3/2max{1,log(2+d)+∣logϵ∣+∣logL∣+∣logR∣}p.

If L=0L=0L=0, R=0R=0R=0, or ϵ≥LR\epsilon\ge LRϵ≥LR, the implementation returns 000 with no queries and retains the expected-accuracy guarantee. The minimizing point x⋆x_\starx⋆​ is used only to express the guarantee and is not supplied to the algorithm. This result gives the expected-query speedup of the paper's quantum accelerated stochastic approximation method; it asserts no gate-complexity or fixed-confidence output bound.

Formalization Note The real iteration budget on p.13 is rounded upward to define a finite loop. The statement preserves the proximal center and all other displayed constants. The p.13/p.15 pointwise gradient assertion is incompatible with the stated second-moment hypothesis; the proof also contains an extra factor 1/r1/r1/r, a reversed optimum-gap sign, and a constant gap in its use of Lemma 5. These are disclosed proof gaps, not additional hypotheses or silent changes to Algorithm 3. No directional-mean definition is imported or reconstructed.

Significance

These are known results from the cited paper. The current contribution consists of source-reviewed, compiler-checked theorem statements and mathematical definitions. Formal proofs remain open. Only the listed selected results are in scope; no whole-paper completeness is claimed.

Difficulty

A complete solution must establish every quantified conclusion under the exact stated hypotheses, including error, probability and resource conditions wherever present. The source assumptions and conventions are recorded in the attached statements and independent readbacks.

Formalization scope

Definitions preserve the existing reviewed Lean interfaces. Every target proof is currently sorry, so each target is Open. Printed-source corrections, where necessary, are labeled with the printed claim, the change and its reason.

The Quantum Esscher TransformResearch Paper

Motivation

The Quantum Esscher Transform establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let d≥1d\ge1d≥1, n,a,nρ≥0n,a,n_\rho\ge0n,a,nρ​≥0, θ∈Rd\theta\in\mathbb R^dθ∈Rd, and κ>1\kappa>1κ>1 be public parameters. Set

β=∑j=1d∣θj∣+2(1+log⁡2(2κ)),L=log⁡2(1/ε),εBE=(ε8L)2,\beta=\sum_{j=1}^d|\theta_j|+2(1+\log_2(2\kappa)),\qquad L=\log_2(1/\varepsilon),\qquad \varepsilon_{\rm BE}=\left(\frac{\varepsilon}{8L}\right)^2,β=j=1∑d​∣θj​∣+2(1+log2​(2κ)),L=log2​(1/ε),εBE​=(8Lε​)2,

where 0<ε<2−β0<\varepsilon<2^{-\beta}0<ε<2−β. The input ρ\rhoρ is an nnn-qubit trace-one density operator whose eigenvalues lie in [1/κ,1][1/\kappa,1][1/κ,1]. Each HjH_jHj​ is Hermitian with ∥Hj∥op≤1\|H_j\|_{\rm op}\le1∥Hj​∥op​≤1. Purified access is a unitary OρO_\rhoOρ​ on nρ+nn_\rho+nnρ​+n qubits preparing a purification of ρ\rhoρ, with the nρn_\rhonρ​ ancillary qubits first. Let UρU_\rhoUρ​ be the exact (1,n+nρ,0)(1,n+n_\rho,0)(1,n+nρ​,0) block-encoding supplied by the purification construction of Proposition 12. For each jjj, supplied UjU_jUj​ is a (1,a,εBE)(1,a,\varepsilon_{\rm BE})(1,a,εBE​) block-encoding of HjH_jHj​; ordinary, adjoint and controlled signal access are available.

There are universal constants Cρ,Cobs>0C_\rho,C_{\rm obs}>0Cρ​,Cobs​>0, a nonnegative integer ppp, and a universal threshold 0<ε0<10<\varepsilon_0<10<ε0​<1 such that, for every admissible public parameter choice with ε≤ε0\varepsilon\le\varepsilon_0ε≤ε0​, a QEsscher circuit can be selected before ρ,Hj,Oρ,Uj\rho,H_j,O_\rho,U_jρ,Hj​,Oρ​,Uj​. This circuit is the logarithm transformation, coefficient state-preparation pair, padded linear combination, and exponential transformation of Algorithm 1. It works for every admissible hidden input and oracle completion. With b=⌈log⁡2(d+1)⌉b=\lceil\log_2(d+1)\rceilb=⌈log2​(d+1)⌉ and aout=max⁡(a,n+nρ)+b+4a_{\rm out}=\max(a,n+n_\rho)+b+4aout​=max(a,n+nρ​)+b+4, its unitary UoutU_{\rm out}Uout​ satisfies

∥σ−(⟨0aout∣⊗In)Uout(∣0aout⟩⊗In)∥op≤ε,σ=exp⁡ ⁣(∑j=1dθjHj+log⁡2ρ)4eβ.\left\|\sigma-(\langle0^{a_{\rm out}}|\otimes I_n)U_{\rm out}(|0^{a_{\rm out}}\rangle\otimes I_n)\right\|_{\rm op}\le\varepsilon, \qquad \sigma=\frac{\exp\!\left(\sum_{j=1}^d\theta_jH_j+\log_2\rho\right)}{4e^\beta}.∥σ−(⟨0aout​∣⊗In​)Uout​(∣0aout​⟩⊗In​)∥op​≤ε,σ=4eβexp(∑j=1d​θj​Hj​+log2​ρ)​.

Its oracle counts, including ordinary, adjoint and controlled calls, obey

qρ≤CρκL2max⁡ ⁣(1,log⁡2(2+κL2))p,qj≤CobsL(j∈[d]).q_\rho\le C_\rho\kappa L^2\max\!\left(1,\log_2(2+\kappa L^2)\right)^p, \qquad q_j\le C_{\rm obs}L\quad(j\in[d]).qρ​≤Cρ​κL2max(1,log2​(2+κL2))p,qj​≤Cobs​L(j∈[d]).

The logarithm of a positive matrix is defined by applying log⁡2\log_2log2​ to its eigenvalues; exp⁡\expexp is the natural matrix exponential. The constants, exponent and threshold are independent of all public parameters, hidden matrices and oracle implementations.

This supplies the subnormalized transform as a block-encoding, useful as an operator primitive. The query count is for UρU_\rhoUρ​; each such call can be implemented with a constant number of purification-oracle calls. The actual nρn_\rhonρ​ is retained in the footprint; the source's nρ=poly⁡(n)n_\rho=\operatorname{poly}(n)nρ​=poly(n) is a family convention, and no gate-time conclusion is asserted.

Source corrections and limitation. Algorithm 1 and Step 3 print b=⌈log⁡2d⌉b=\lceil\log_2d\rceilb=⌈log2​d⌉, although their d+1d+1d+1 coefficients require b=⌈log⁡2(d+1)⌉b=\lceil\log_2(d+1)\rceilb=⌈log2​(d+1)⌉. The box prints the divisor eβe^\betaeβ; the statement uses proof Step 5's explicit 4eβ4e^\beta4eβ. The printed error schedule is retained. The claim that its numeral 8 ensures Eq. (III.2) has an unresolved quantitative degree-bound gap; accuracy remains the theorem's conclusion, without adding that bound as an assumption.

Explicit decoders using fixed-point amplitude amplification based on QSVTResearch Paper

Motivation

Explicit decoders using fixed-point amplitude amplification based on QSVT establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let FAB→D\mathcal F^{AB\to D}FAB→D be any channel on finite registers of positive dimensions dA,dB,dDd_A,d_B,d_DdA​,dB​,dD​, with fixed computational bases. The registers R,R′R,R'R,R′ copy AAA, and B′B'B′ copies BBB, including their bases. Choose any Stinespring isometry V:AB→EDV:AB\to EDV:AB→ED and a compatible unitary UF:ABF→EDU_{\mathcal F}:ABF\to EDUF​:ABF→ED with V=UF∣0⟩FV=U_{\mathcal F}|0\rangle^FV=UF​∣0⟩F and dAdBdF=dEdDd_A d_B d_F=d_E d_DdA​dB​dF​=dE​dD​. Write F‾\overline{\mathcal F}F for the complementary channel derived from this same isometry, ΦAR\Phi^{AR}ΦAR for the normalized computational-basis maximally entangled state, and πX=IX/dX\pi^X=I_X/d_XπX=IX​/dX​. Define ωRE=F‾(ΦAR⊗πB)\omega^{RE}=\overline{\mathcal F}(\Phi^{AR}\otimes\pi^B)ωRE=F(ΦAR⊗πB) and let λmin⁡(ωRE)\lambda_{\min}(\omega^{RE})λmin​(ωRE) be its smallest strictly positive eigenvalue.

Suppose there is a density state τE\tau^EτE such that ∥ωRE−πR⊗τE∥1≤ε\|\omega^{RE}-\pi^R\otimes\tau^E\|_1\le\varepsilon∥ωRE−πR⊗τE∥1​≤ε. For every 0<δ<10<\delta<10<δ<1 and every odd positive integer ttt satisfying

t≥⌈16edDdBλmin⁡(ωRE)ln⁡2δ⌉,t\ge\left\lceil16e\sqrt{\frac{d_D}{d_B\lambda_{\min}(\omega^{RE})}}\ln\frac{2}{\delta}\right\rceil,t≥⌈16edB​λmin​(ωRE)dD​​​lnδ2​⌉,

there are phases ϕ1,…,ϕt∈(−π,π]\phi_1,\ldots,\phi_t\in(-\pi,\pi]ϕ1​,…,ϕt​∈(−π,π] for the explicit generalized Yoshida–Kitaev decoder Dt,ϕDB′→R′\mathcal D_{t,\phi}^{DB'\to R'}Dt,ϕDB′→R′​ of Eq. (44), with preprocessing (35) and the real two-projector QSVT (49)–(53), such that

Δ(Dt,ϕ∣F)=12∥ΦRR′−(idR⊗Dt,ϕ)(ωRDB′)∥1≤ε+δ,ωRDB′=FAB→D(ΦAR⊗ΦBB′).\Delta(\mathcal D_{t,\phi}\mid\mathcal F)=\frac12\left\|\Phi^{RR'}-(\mathrm{id}_R\otimes\mathcal D_{t,\phi})(\omega^{RDB'})\right\|_1\le\sqrt{\varepsilon}+\delta, \qquad \omega^{RDB'}=\mathcal F^{AB\to D}(\Phi^{AR}\otimes\Phi^{BB'}).Δ(Dt,ϕ​∣F)=21​​ΦRR′−(idR​⊗Dt,ϕ​)(ωRDB′)​1​≤ε​+δ,ωRDB′=FAB→D(ΦAR⊗ΦBB′).

The channel acts as the identity on the untouched reference RRR and shared register B′B'B′ in the expression for ωRDB′\omega^{RDB'}ωRDB′. The same choice of phases admits an exact circuit using arbitrary single- and two-qubit unitary gates with universal positive constants Cg,CaC_g,C_aCg​,Ca​ such that

gate count≤Cgt(C(UF)+log⁡2dD2dEdB),added ancilla qubits≤Calog⁡2dD2dEdB.\text{gate count}\le C_g t\left(\mathcal C(U_{\mathcal F})+\log_2\frac{d_D^2d_E}{d_B}\right), \qquad \text{added ancilla qubits}\le C_a\log_2\frac{d_D^2d_E}{d_B}.gate count≤Cg​t(C(UF​)+log2​dB​dD2​dE​​),added ancilla qubits≤Ca​log2​dB​dD2​dE​​.

Here the standing circuit model of Section 2.1 permits only polynomially many ancillary qubits. One polynomial allowance p∈N[X]p\in\mathbb N[X]p∈N[X] is chosen before all dimensions, channels and dilations. With q=⌈log⁡2(dEdD)⌉q=\lceil\log_2(d_Ed_D)\rceilq=⌈log2​(dE​dD​)⌉, Cp(UF)\mathcal C_p(U_{\mathcal F})Cp​(UF​) is the minimum exact gate count for the chosen dilation unitary within an added-ancilla budget p(q)p(q)p(q), including its input and output basis layout; the displayed C(UF)\mathcal C(U_{\mathcal F})C(UF​) denotes this cost under the common chosen allowance. Both constants are independent of the channel, dimensions, chosen dilation, errors and ttt. The decoder acts only on the receiver's DB′DB'DB′ systems and locally prepared ancillas. This supplies an explicit recovery circuit whenever decoupling holds, including unassisted communication (dB=1d_B=1dB​=1), exact decoupling (ε=0\varepsilon=0ε=0), and rank-deficient states.

Formalization Note Finite registers are embedded in ⌈log⁡2d⌉\lceil\log_2 d\rceil⌈log2​d⌉ qubits by the frozen finite-register embedding; no power-of-two dimension assumption is added. The full trace norm is used for decoupling and half that norm for recovery. The logarithm in the degree threshold is natural, as in the proof's Lambert-W estimate; qubit resource logarithms are base two. The compatible dimension identity makes the resource logarithm nonnegative. When it vanishes, the recovered register is one-dimensional and discarding the input uses zero gates and added ancillas.

The channel acts as the identity on the untouched reference RRR and shared register B′B'B′ in the expression for ωRDB′\omega^{RDB'}ωRDB′. The same choice of phases admits an exact circuit using arbitrary single- and two-qubit unitary gates with universal positive constants Cg,CaC_g,C_aCg​,Ca​ such that

Amplitude Estimation from Quantum Signal ProcessingResearch Paper

Motivation

Amplitude Estimation from Quantum Signal Processing establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let a∈[0,1]a\in[0,1]a∈[0,1] be an unknown amplitude in the completed two-dimensional Grover space. Choose an orthonormal pair ∣Π⟩,∣Π⊥⟩|\Pi\rangle,|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣Π⟩,∣Π⊥⟩, set aˉ=1−a2\bar a=\sqrt{1-a^2}aˉ=1−a2​, and write ∣ψ⟩=a∣Π⟩+aˉ∣Π⊥⟩|\psi\rangle=a|\Pi\rangle+\bar a|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣ψ⟩=a∣Π⟩+aˉ∣Π⊥⟩ and ∣ψ⊥⟩=aˉ∣Π⟩−a∣Π⊥⟩|\psi^\perp\rangle=\bar a|\Pi\rangle-a|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣ψ⊥⟩=aˉ∣Π⟩−a∣Π⊥⟩. The endpoint states are understood as rays. Define Zψ=∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣−∣ψ⊥⟩⟨ψ⊥∣Z_\psi=|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|-|\psi^\perp\rangle\langle\psi^\perp|Zψ​=∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣−∣ψ⊥⟩⟨ψ⊥∣ and ZΠ=∣Π⟩⟨Π∣−∣Π⊥⟩⟨Π⊥∣Z_\Pi=|\Pi\rangle\langle\Pi|-|\Pi^\perp\rangle\langle\Pi^\perp|ZΠ​=∣Π⟩⟨Π∣−∣Π⊥⟩⟨Π⊥∣. A complex polynomial PPP is Pellian if there is a polynomial QQQ of the opposite fixed parity such that ∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1|P(x)|^2+(1-x^2)|Q(x)|^2=1∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1 for every x∈[−1,1]x\in[-1,1]x∈[−1,1]. A real polynomial is semi-Pellian if it is the coefficientwise real part of a Pellian polynomial.

There is an absolute constant C>0C>0C>0 such that, for every Pellian or semi-Pellian polynomial PPP, an oracle instrument can be chosen independently of aaa and of the orthonormal basis. Given one copy of any of the four states and its known classical label, the instrument outputs a bit bPb_PbP​ satisfying

It also returns a classical label LLL for a retained signal state. For each joint outcome (bP,L)(b_P,L)(bP​,L) of probability ppp, the unnormalized signal density matrix is exactly p∣L⟩⟨L∣p|L\rangle\langle L|p∣L⟩⟨L∣, with L∈{ψ,ψ⊥,Π,Π⊥}L\in\{\psi,\psi^\perp,\Pi,\Pi^\perp\}L∈{ψ,ψ⊥,Π,Π⊥}. This includes both sampled-bit outcomes. The total number of oracle calls, including the oracle-assisted final basis measurement, is at most C(deg⁡P+1)C(\deg P+1)C(degP+1) for every input label. Pellian sampling uses arbitrary-angle rotations eiϕZψ,eiϕZΠe^{i\phi Z_\psi},e^{i\phi Z_\Pi}eiϕZψ​,eiϕZΠ​, with the controlled measurement access used in the proof. Semi-Pellian sampling uses the distinct primitives ∣0⟩⟨0∣⊗eiϕZ+∣1⟩⟨1∣⊗e−iϕZ|0\rangle\langle0|\otimes e^{i\phi Z}+|1\rangle\langle1|\otimes e^{-i\phi Z}∣0⟩⟨0∣⊗eiϕZ+∣1⟩⟨1∣⊗e−iϕZ for each basis. Ancilla preparation and known ancilla gates are free in this query model.

The retained-state guarantee allows successive polynomial samples from the same signal system, without requiring that each invocation restore the original state.

Formalization Note The completed Grover-space model includes a=0,1a=0,1a=0,1 and uses density matrices to ignore global phase. The asymptotic query claim is expressed with a uniform additive degree-zero allowance. Controlled access for the Pellian basis measurement is the operational convention of the source's proof; it is not derived from a strictly uncontrolled black box.

§1.4, Theorem 6, equation (39)

Let a∈[0,1]a\in[0,1]a∈[0,1] be an unknown amplitude in the completed two-dimensional Grover space. Choose an orthonormal pair ∣Π⟩,∣Π⊥⟩|\Pi\rangle,|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣Π⟩,∣Π⊥⟩, set aˉ=1−a2\bar a=\sqrt{1-a^2}aˉ=1−a2​, and write ∣ψ⟩=a∣Π⟩+aˉ∣Π⊥⟩|\psi\rangle=a|\Pi\rangle+\bar a|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣ψ⟩=a∣Π⟩+aˉ∣Π⊥⟩ and ∣ψ⊥⟩=aˉ∣Π⟩−a∣Π⊥⟩|\psi^\perp\rangle=\bar a|\Pi\rangle-a|\Pi^\perp\rangle∣ψ⊥⟩=aˉ∣Π⟩−a∣Π⊥⟩.

A complex polynomial PPP is Pellian if there is a polynomial QQQ of the opposite fixed parity such that ∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1|P(x)|^2+(1-x^2)|Q(x)|^2=1∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1 for every x∈[−1,1]x\in[-1,1]x∈[−1,1]. A real polynomial is semi-Pellian if it is the coefficientwise real part of a Pellian polynomial.

There is an absolute constant C>0C>0C>0 such that, for every Pellian or semi-Pellian polynomial PPP, an oracle instrument can be chosen independently of aaa and of the orthonormal basis. Given one copy of any of the four states and its known classical label, the instrument outputs a bit bPb_PbP​ satisfying

Pr⁡[bP=1]=∣P(a)∣2.\Pr[b_P=1]=|P(a)|^2.Pr[bP​=1]=∣P(a)∣2.

Single-shot decoding of good quantum LDPC codesResearch Paper

Motivation

Single-shot decoding of good quantum LDPC codes establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix code parameters ρ,dr,κ∈(0,1)\rho,d_r,\kappa\in(0,1)ρ,dr​,κ∈(0,1) and decoder parameters 0<2δ<ε<10<2\delta<\varepsilon<10<2δ<ε<1. For all sufficiently large degrees Δ\DeltaΔ (with the threshold depending only on these fixed parameters), let GGG be a finite group with symmetric generating sets A,BA,BA,B of size Δ\DeltaΔ, whose left and right Cayley graphs are Ramanujan in the paper's sense: their second largest adjacency eigenvalue is at most 2Δ−12\sqrt{\Delta-1}2Δ−1​. Let the binary local codes CA,CBC_A,C_BCA​,CB​ have exact rates ρ,1−ρ\rho,1-\rhoρ,1−ρ, respectively. Each of CA,CB,CA⊥,CB⊥C_A,C_B,C_A^\perp,C_B^\perpCA​,CB​,CA⊥​,CB⊥​ has distance at least drΔd_r\Deltadr​Δ, and both dual tensor codes CA⊞CBC_A\boxplus C_BCA​⊞CB​ and CA⊥⊞CB⊥C_A^\perp\boxplus C_B^\perpCA⊥​⊞CB⊥​ are κ\kappaκ-product-expanding.

Construct the quadripartite quantum Tanner code on Q=G×A×BQ=G\times A\times BQ=G×A×B, with n=∣G∣Δ2n=|G|\Delta^2n=∣G∣Δ2 qubits, X checks from CA⊗CBC_A\otimes C_BCA​⊗CB​ at V00∪V11V_{00}\cup V_{11}V00​∪V11​ and Z checks from CA⊥⊗CB⊥C_A^\perp\otimes C_B^\perpCA⊥​⊗CB⊥​ at V01∪V10V_{01}\cup V_{10}V01​∪V10​. Let ddd be its actual CSS distance. Let e∈F2Qe\in\mathbb F_2^Qe∈F2Q​ be an X error and DDD a binary error on the vertex-labelled Z checks. Write ∣e∣R=min⁡s∈CX⊥∣e+s∣|e|_R=\min_{s\in C_X^\perp}|e+s|∣e∣R​=mins∈CX⊥​​∣e+s∣ and let ∣D∣V|D|_V∣D∣V​ count vertices with at least one nonzero syndrome-error bit. Define

Aε=24κΔ(1−ε),Bε=3Δκ(1−ε),Cδ=dr2δ3κ212Δ2,c1=ε−2δε(1−δ),c2=2ε.A_\varepsilon=\frac{24}{\kappa\Delta(1-\varepsilon)},\quad B_\varepsilon=\frac{3\Delta}{\kappa(1-\varepsilon)},\quad C_\delta=\frac{d_r^2\delta^3\kappa}{2^{12}\Delta^2},\quad c_1=\frac{\varepsilon-2\delta}{\varepsilon(1-\delta)},\quad c_2=\frac2\varepsilon.Aε​=κΔ(1−ε)24​,Bε​=κ(1−ε)3Δ​,Cδ​=212Δ2dr2​δ3κ​,c1​=ε(1−δ)ε−2δ​,c2​=ε2​.

If

Aε∣e∣R+Bε∣D∣V≤min⁡(Cδn,d/Δ),A_\varepsilon|e|_R+B_\varepsilon|D|_V\le\min(C_\delta n,d/\Delta),Aε​∣e∣R​+Bε​∣D∣V​≤min(Cδ​n,d/Δ),

then Algorithm 1, receiving only σ~=HZe+D\widetilde\sigma=H_Ze+Dσ=HZ​e+D and parameter ε\varepsilonε, terminates and every lawful output f^\widehat ff​ satisfies

∣e+f^∣R≤(1+2c2κc1)Δ2∣D∣V.|e+\widehat f|_R\le\left(1+\frac{2c_2}{\kappa c_1}\right)\Delta^2|D|_V.∣e+f​∣R​≤(1+κc1​2c2​​)Δ2∣D∣V​.

Local minimum-weight choices are fixed consistently before the input; infeasible local syndromes use the zero fallback. Algorithm 2 starts with zero accumulators, uses the stated weight-decrease test and minimum column/row decomposition, and halts only at zero mismatch or when no permitted move exists. Algorithm 1 returns ∑v∈V01ε~v+C^1+R^0\sum_{v\in V_{01}}\widetilde\varepsilon_v+\widehat C_1+\widehat R_0∑v∈V01​​εv​+C1​+R0​.

This is the quantitative adversarial single-shot guarantee for the sequential Tanner decoder. With D=0D=0D=0, the residual is a stabilizer, rather than necessarily the zero vector.

Formalization Note The printed theorem leaves decoder domains implicit; the range above is inherited from pp.14 and 22. The distance is an extended natural minimum; when both logical-error sets are empty it is infinite, and the threshold uses only CδnC_\delta nCδ​n. Termination is represented by existence of a terminal execution together with the bound for every lawful terminal execution. No stochastic residual support law is asserted.

Fast Estimation of Sparse Quantum NoiseResearch Paper

Motivation

Fast Estimation of Sparse Quantum Noise establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix a sparsity exponent 0<δ<1/20<\delta<1/20<δ<1/2. There are positive constants C,c,βC,c,\betaC,c,β and a threshold n0≥1n_0\ge1n0​≥1, depending only on this fixed exponent and public design/code choices, and a public construction of the subsampling and peeling protocol for every n≥n0n\ge n_0n≥n0​ and integer s=4δns=4^{\delta n}s=4δn.

The labels of the N=4nN=4^nN=4n phase-free nnn-qubit Paulis are a=(ax,az)∈F22na=(a_x,a_z)\in\mathbb F_2^{2n}a=(ax​,az​)∈F22n​. Let KKK be uniform among the size-sss subsets of these labels. For each possible KKK, assign arbitrary nonnegative rates p(K)p^{(K)}p(K) with total mass one, support exactly KKK, and pa(K)≥ϵ0>0p^{(K)}_a\ge\epsilon_0>0pa(K)​≥ϵ0​>0 on KKK. This assignment is independent of the protocol's public randomness and observation noise. The associated channel is E(ρ)=∑apaPaρPa\mathcal E(\rho)=\sum_a p_aP_a\rho P_aE(ρ)=∑a​pa​Pa​ρPa​, and its eigenvalues are

λa=∑b(−1)ax⋅bz+az⋅bxpb.\lambda_a=\sum_b(-1)^{a_x\cdot b_z+a_z\cdot b_x}p_b.λa​=b∑​(−1)ax​⋅bz​+az​⋅bx​pb​.

The observed eigenvalue vector has independent centered Gaussian errors of variance ξ2\xi^2ξ2, with ξ≥0\xi\ge0ξ≥0, independent of the support and the public design. Repeated reads use the same indexed observation and are counted as queries.

The construction chooses B=2bB=2^bB=2b bins with s≤B≤Css\le B\le Css≤B≤Cs, constantly many subsampling groups, and P1,P2=Θ(n)P_1,P_2=\Theta(n)P1​,P2​=Θ(n) offsets. Random offsets and binary hash matrices are sampled independently and uniformly before the hidden input. Coded offsets use a full-rank binary linear code with positive constant relative distance and a public, query-free, linear-time decoder. The decoder's realization, correction property and time bound are conclusions of the construction. Assume

ξ2≤min⁡ ⁣(Bs2,1),ϵ0≥2ξB.\xi^2\le\min\!\left(\frac{B}{s^2},1\right), \qquad \epsilon_0\ge\frac{2\xi}{\sqrt B}.ξ2≤min(s2B​,1),ϵ0​≥B​2ξ​.

Algorithms 2–4 produce a list of distinct labels with support exactly KKK and estimated rates p^\widehat pp​, zero off the reported support, satisfying

Pr⁡ ⁣[supp⁡(p^)=K and ∥p^−p∥∞≤2ξB]≥1−e−cn.\Pr\!\left[ \operatorname{supp}(\widehat p)=K \ \text{and}\ \|\widehat p-p\|_\infty\le\frac{2\xi}{\sqrt B} \right]\ge1-e^{-cn}.Pr[supp(p​)=K and ∥p​−p∥∞​≤B​2ξ​]≥1−e−cn.

The probability averages over the uniform support, public design, Gaussian observations, and any internal decoder randomness. Every execution uses at most CsnCsnCsn eigenvalue reads and Csn2Csn^2Csn2 classical arithmetic/indexing instructions. The computed conditional success probabilities are measurable.

This result recovers both the locations and values of sparse Pauli errors from noisy eigenvalues. It does not assert a quantum measurement sample complexity.

Formalization Note The frozen, independently reviewed program composition is used directly. It separates the ordinary bbb-bit WHT from the symplectic 2n2n2n-bit label pairing, resolves the printed dimensional inconsistencies as approved in the definition review, and retires peeled bins according to the graph description. The theorem does not assume successful bin detection, favorable graph events, accuracy, runtime, or independence of overlapping bin errors.

Provably efficient machine learning for quantum many-body problemsResearch Paper

Motivation

Provably efficient machine learning for quantum many-body problems establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix a finite spatial dimension ddd, bounds on the number and geometric radius of sites in each Hamiltonian term, a local-term density bound bd+cdrdb_d+c_dr^dbd​+cd​rd, a spectral gap γ>0\gamma>0γ>0, an observable locality bound qqq, and a confidence parameter δ∈(0,1)\delta\in(0,1)δ∈(0,1). Consider nnn-qubit Hamiltonians H(x)=∑jhj(x)H(x)=\sum_j h_j(x)H(x)=∑j​hj​(x), smoothly parametrized by x∈[−1,1]mx\in[-1,1]^mx∈[−1,1]m. Each term is Hermitian, obeys ∥hj(x)∥∞≤1\|h_j(x)\|_\infty\le1∥hj​(x)∥∞​≤1, and has directional derivative of operator norm at most one in every Euclidean unit parameter direction. These properties hold throughout the cube; smoothness at its boundary uses a local smooth extension. Every Hamiltonian has an excited energy and a gap at least γ\gammaγ above its entire ground eigenspace. Let ρ(x)\rho(x)ρ(x) be the normalized projector onto that eigenspace, allowing degeneracy.

For a fixed Hermitian observable O=∑i=1LOiO=\sum_{i=1}^L O_iO=∑i=1L​Oi​, each term supported on at most qqq qubits (not necessarily neighboring), choose a norm budget B≥1B\ge1B≥1 satisfying ∑i∥Oi∥∞≤B\sum_i\|O_i\|_\infty\le B∑i​∥Oi​∥∞​≤B. A smaller norm budget may be replaced by one. There are uniform positive constants, depending only on the fixed physical bounds, qqq, and δ\deltaδ, such that for every fixed mean-squared error tolerance ε∈(0,1]\varepsilon\in(0,1]ε∈(0,1] and all sufficiently large mmm, public sample counts, cutoffs, and actual classical arithmetic/RAM programs can be selected before the unknown Hamiltonian family, training draw, observable entries, and test parameter. The training set consists of NNN independent uniform parameter draws, with one fresh-copy randomized Pauli snapshot SℓS_\ellSℓ​ at each point. Pauli axes are independently uniform; the joint measurement outcomes obey the Born law.

The named predictor is

σ^N(x)=1N∑ℓ=1NκΛ(x,xℓ)Sℓ,κΛ(x,y)=∑k∈Zm∥k∥2≤Λcos⁡ ⁣(πk⋅(x−y)).\widehat{\sigma}_N(x)=\frac1N\sum_{\ell=1}^N\kappa_\Lambda(x,x_\ell)S_\ell,\qquad \kappa_\Lambda(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{k\in\mathbb Z^m\\\|k\|_2\le\Lambda}} \cos\!\bigl(\pi k\cdot(x-y)\bigr).σN​(x)=N1​ℓ=1∑N​κΛ​(x,xℓ​)Sℓ​,κΛ​(x,y)=k∈Zm∥k∥2​≤Λ​∑​cos(πk⋅(x−y)).

Target

Theorem 1; detailed Theorem 3, PDF pp.29–30

Fix a finite spatial dimension ddd, bounds on the number and geometric radius of sites in each Hamiltonian term, a local-term density bound bd+cdrdb_d+c_dr^dbd​+cd​rd, a spectral gap γ>0\gamma>0γ>0, an observable locality bound qqq, and a confidence parameter δ∈(0,1)\delta\in(0,1)δ∈(0,1). Consider nnn-qubit Hamiltonians H(x)=∑jhj(x)H(x)=\sum_j h_j(x)H(x)=∑j​hj​(x), smoothly parametrized by x∈[−1,1]mx\in[-1,1]^mx∈[−1,1]m. Each term is Hermitian, obeys ∥hj(x)∥∞≤1\|h_j(x)\|_\infty\le1∥hj​(x)∥∞​≤1, and has directional derivative of operator norm at most one in every Euclidean unit parameter direction. These properties hold throughout the cube; smoothness at its boundary uses a local smooth extension. Every Hamiltonian has an excited energy and a gap at least γ\gammaγ above its entire ground eigenspace. Let ρ(x)\rho(x)ρ(x) be the normalized projector onto that eigenspace, allowing degeneracy.

For a fixed Hermitian observable O=∑i=1LOiO=\sum_{i=1}^L O_iO=∑i=1L​Oi​, each term supported on at most qqq qubits (not necessarily neighboring), choose a norm budget B≥1B\ge1B≥1 satisfying ∑i∥Oi∥∞≤B\sum_i\|O_i\|_\infty\le B∑i​∥Oi​∥∞​≤B. A smaller norm budget may be replaced by one. There are uniform positive constants, depending only on the fixed physical bounds, qqq, and δ\deltaδ, such that for every fixed mean-squared error tolerance ε∈(0,1]\varepsilon\in(0,1]ε∈(0,1] and all sufficiently large mmm, public sample counts, cutoffs, and actual classical arithmetic/RAM programs can be selected before the unknown Hamiltonian family, training draw, observable entries, and test parameter. The training set consists of NNN independent uniform parameter draws, with one fresh-copy randomized Pauli snapshot SℓS_\ellSℓ​ at each point. Pauli axes are independently uniform; the joint measurement outcomes obey the Born law.

The named predictor is

σ^N(x)=1N∑ℓ=1NκΛ(x,xℓ)Sℓ,κΛ(x,y)=∑k∈Zm∥k∥2≤Λcos⁡ ⁣(πk⋅(x−y)).\widehat{\sigma}_N(x)=\frac1N\sum_{\ell=1}^N\kappa_\Lambda(x,x_\ell)S_\ell,\qquad \kappa_\Lambda(x,y)=\sum_{\substack{k\in\mathbb Z^m\\\|k\|_2\le\Lambda}} \cos\!\bigl(\pi k\cdot(x-y)\bigr).σN​(x)=N1​ℓ=1∑N​κΛ​(x,xℓ​)Sℓ​,κΛ​(x,y)=k∈Zm∥k∥2​≤Λ​∑​cos(πk⋅(x−y)).

Foundations for learning from noisy quantum experimentsResearch Paper

Motivation

Foundations for learning from noisy quantum experiments establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix a positive finite dimension ddd and finite labelled sets X,Y,Z,BX,Y,Z,BX,Y,Z,B of preparation actions, dynamics actions, measurement actions, and measurement outcomes. Let Q\mathcal QQ be any set of world models W=({ρx}x∈X,{Ey}y∈Y,{Mzb}z∈Z,b∈B)W=(\{\rho_x\}_{x\in X},\{\mathcal E_y\}_{y\in Y},\{M_{zb}\}_{z\in Z,b\in B})W=({ρx​}x∈X​,{Ey​}y∈Y​,{Mzb​}z∈Z,b∈B​) on Cd\mathbb C^dCd: every preparation is a density matrix, every dynamics action is a CPTP map, and each measurement is a POVM. The model class may be uncountable and may contain equivalent descriptions.

Suppose every W∈QW\in\mathcal QW∈Q is universal: some preparation is pure; some finite collection of dynamics actions implements exact unitary channels whose representatives generate a dense subgroup of SU(d)\mathrm{SU}(d)SU(d); and some measurement effect is not proportional to the identity. These witnessing actions and their physical descriptions are unknown and may vary between worlds. Mathematical inverses enter the generated subgroup; physical access to inverse actions is not assumed.

Then there exists a fixed family (Lk)k∈N(L_k)_{k\in\mathbb N}(Lk​)k∈N​ of finite classical experimental procedures, chosen before the unknown world. Each procedure adaptively chooses experiments that freshly prepare ρx\rho_xρx​, apply a finite word of the available dynamics actions, and measure one of the available POVMs. Its description output is denoted W^(k)=({ρ^x(k)},{E^y(k)},{M^zb(k)})\widehat W^{(k)}=(\{\widehat\rho_x^{(k)}\},\{\widehat{\mathcal E}_y^{(k)}\},\{\widehat M_{zb}^{(k)}\})W(k)=({ρ​x(k)​},{Ey(k)​},{Mzb(k)​}). For every W∈QW\in\mathcal QW∈Q, every ϵ>0\epsilon>0ϵ>0, and every 0<δ<10<\delta<10<δ<1, there exists k0k_0k0​ such that for all k≥k0k\ge k_0k≥k0​ there is one unitary or anti-unitary gauge G\mathcal GG satisfying

Here Pr⁡W\Pr_WPrW​ is computed from the experimental outcome probabilities and internal classical randomization of LkL_kLk​. A unitary gauge has the form G(A)=UAU†\mathcal G(A)=UAU^\daggerG(A)=UAU†; an anti-unitary gauge has the form G(A)=UA‾U†\mathcal G(A)=U\overline A U^\daggerG(A)=UAU†. The same gauge is fixed outside all three collections of probability clauses. Both norms are unhalved. The output estimates need not themselves be lawful quantum objects.

The result establishes learnability of all labelled operations from untrusted experiments under universality. It gives eventual accuracy for each world, with no uniform sample bound, polynomial complexity guarantee, or certified accuracy-based stopping rule.

Formalization Note The finite-action scope is explicit in Theorem D.1 (PDF p.21), although the main-text Theorem 2 does not explicitly restrict the action sets. The stage-indexed interpretation follows the precision-halving procedure in D.2 (p.23) and D.7 (p.33).

Robust shadow estimationResearch Paper

Motivation

Robust shadow estimation establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Consider Protocol 1 of Chen, Yu, Zeng and Flammia on n≥1n\ge 1n≥1 qubits, with Hilbert space dimension d=2nd=2^nd=2n. The same completely positive, trace-preserving noise channel Λ\LambdaΛ acts after each ideal global Clifford gate; fixed computational-basis measurement noise is absorbed into Λ\LambdaΛ. Calibration perfectly prepares ∣0⟩⊗n|0\rangle^{\otimes n}∣0⟩⊗n. The full Clifford group modulo global phase is sampled uniformly and calibration shots are independent and identically distributed.

Let ε>0\varepsilon>0ε>0 and 0<δ≤10<\delta\le 10<δ≤1. Define the Z-basis average fidelity by FZ(Λ)=d−1∑b⟨b∣Λ(∣b⟩⟨b∣)∣b⟩F_Z(\Lambda)=d^{-1}\sum_b\langle b|\Lambda(|b\rangle\langle b|)|b\rangleFZ​(Λ)=d−1∑b​⟨b∣Λ(∣b⟩⟨b∣)∣b⟩, and suppose FZ(Λ)>1/dF_Z(\Lambda)>1/dFZ​(Λ)>1/d. Set

A=(1+ε2)(1+1/d)2ε2(FZ(Λ)−1/d)2.A=\frac{(1+\varepsilon^2)(1+1/d)^2}{\varepsilon^2(F_Z(\Lambda)-1/d)^2}.A=ε2(FZ​(Λ)−1/d)2(1+ε2)(1+1/d)2​.

The printed sample scale in Theorem 7 is Rprinted=136ln⁡(2/δ)AR_{\rm printed}=136\ln(2/\delta)ARprinted​=136ln(2/δ)A. Interpret its real-valued batch parameters operationally as positive integers N≥⌈68A⌉N\ge\lceil68A\rceilN≥⌈68A⌉ and K≥⌈2ln⁡(2/δ)⌉K\ge\lceil2\ln(2/\delta)\rceilK≥⌈2ln(2/δ)⌉, with actual calibration count R=NKR=NKR=NK.

For each recorded ideal Clifford UUU and noisy outcome bbb, compute f^(r)=(d∣⟨b∣U(∣0⟩⊗n)∣2−1)/(d−1)\widehat f^{(r)}=(d|\langle b|U(|0\rangle^{\otimes n})|^2-1)/(d-1)f​(r)=(d∣⟨b∣U(∣0⟩⊗n)∣2−1)/(d−1). Let f^\widehat ff​ be the median of the KKK means of batches of NNN such scores. The estimated inverse sends an operator XXX to (Tr⁡X/d)I+f^−1(X−(Tr⁡X/d)I)(\operatorname{Tr}X/d)I+\widehat f^{-1}(X-(\operatorname{Tr}X/d)I)(TrX/d)I+f​−1(X−(TrX/d)I).

With probability at least 1−δ1-\delta1−δ over calibration records, f^≠0\widehat f\ne0f​=0 and the subsequent single-shot retrieval expectation satisfies, simultaneously for every Hermitian observable OOO and every density matrix ρ\rhoρ,

Formalization Note The statement retains the printed 1+ε21+\varepsilon^21+ε2 factor. The source proof's substitution instead gives (1+ε)2(1+\varepsilon)^2(1+ε)2 from the stated variance bound; this discrepancy and the integer rounding interpretation remain subject to independent source moderation. The product of rounded batch parameters is not asserted to equal, or be bounded above by the ceiling of, the printed total scale. The frozen calibration probability law, overlap scores, median and retrieval expectation compute the named protocol directly.

There are complex polynomials P,QP,QP,Q, depending only on these phases and lll, with deg⁡P≤d\deg P\le ddegP≤d, deg⁡Q≤d−1\deg Q\le d-1degQ≤d−1, and respective parities ddd and d−1d-1d−1 modulo 222, such that

∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1for every x∈[−1,1].|P(x)|^2+(1-x^2)|Q(x)|^2=1 \qquad\text{for every }x\in[-1,1].∣P(x)∣2+(1−x2)∣Q(x)∣2=1for every x∈[−1,1].

For every finite quantum register, every pair of normalized pure states ∣A0⟩,∣B0⟩|A_0\rangle,|B_0\rangle∣A0​⟩,∣B0​⟩ in that register, and every unitary UUU with a real nonzero amplitude a=⟨A0∣U∣B0⟩a=\langle A_0|U|B_0\ranglea=⟨A0​∣U∣B0​⟩, define the available exact rank-one phase shifts Aϕ=eiϕ∣A0⟩⟨A0∣A_\phi=e^{i\phi|A_0\rangle\langle A_0|}Aϕ​=eiϕ∣A0​⟩⟨A0​∣ and Bϕ=eiϕ∣B0⟩⟨B0∣B_\phi=e^{i\phi|B_0\rangle\langle B_0|}Bϕ​=eiϕ∣B0​⟩⟨B0​∣ for real ϕ\phiϕ. Then

⟨A0∣Aϕ0[∏k=1lUBϕ2k−1U†Aϕ2k]U∣B0⟩=P(a).\langle A_0|A_{\phi_0}\left[\prod_{k=1}^{l}U B_{\phi_{2k-1}}U^\dagger A_{\phi_{2k}}\right]U|B_0\rangle=P(a).⟨A0​∣Aϕ0​​[k=1∏l​UBϕ2k−1​​U†Aϕ2k​​]U∣B0​⟩=P(a).

The product is written in increasing kkk from left to right, and its rightmost UUU acts first. Normalization and unitarity imply a∈[−1,1]a\in[-1,1]a∈[−1,1]; the endpoints a=±1a=\pm1a=±1 are allowed. Parity means P(−x)=(−1)dP(x)P(-x)=(-1)^dP(x)P(−x)=(−1)dP(x) and Q(−x)=(−1)d−1Q(x)Q(-x)=(-1)^{d-1}Q(x)Q(−x)=(−1)d−1Q(x).

This construction applies one uniform polynomial to a privileged transition amplitude and connects amplitude amplification with quantum signal processing.

Formalization Note The finite register is a Euclidean space over an arbitrary finite basis type. The frozen positive-sign rank-one phase shifts and sequence encode Eq. (13) exactly. The complementary polynomial is existentially quantified with PPP before the register, states, unitary and amplitude. The zero polynomial is allowed as QQQ, including when l=0l=0l=0.

Quantum Expander CodesResearch Paper

Motivation

Quantum Expander Codes establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Fix positive integer degrees ΔA,ΔB\Delta_A,\Delta_BΔA​,ΔB​ and positive real constants γA,δA,γB,δB\gamma_A,\delta_A,\gamma_B,\delta_BγA​,δA​,γB​,δB​, with δA,δB<1/6\delta_A,\delta_B<1/6δA​,δB​<1/6. There are a deterministic classical decoder, a constant C>0C>0C>0, and an integer n0n_0n0​, all chosen before the graph sizes and inputs, with the following properties.

Let G=(A⊔B,E)G=(A\sqcup B,E)G=(A⊔B,E) be any finite simple bipartite graph with 1≤nB=∣B∣≤nA=∣A∣1\le n_B=|B|\le n_A=|A|1≤nB​=∣B∣≤nA​=∣A∣, left degree ΔA\Delta_AΔA​ and right degree ΔB\Delta_BΔB​. For every S⊆AS\subseteq AS⊆A with ∣S∣≤γAnA|S|\le\gamma_A n_A∣S∣≤γA​nA​, require ∣Γ(S)∣≥(1−δA)ΔA∣S∣|\Gamma(S)|\ge(1-\delta_A)\Delta_A|S|∣Γ(S)∣≥(1−δA​)ΔA​∣S∣, where Γ(S)\Gamma(S)Γ(S) denotes its neighboring vertices. Require the corresponding right expansion for every S⊆BS\subseteq BS⊆B with ∣S∣≤γBnB|S|\le\gamma_B n_B∣S∣≤γB​nB​.

Form the self hypergraph-product CSS code on the tagged coordinates Q=(A×A)⊔(B×B)Q=(A\times A)\sqcup(B\times B)Q=(A×A)⊔(B×B), of length n=nA2+nB2n=n_A^2+n_B^2n=nA2​+nB2​. Write HHH for the binary incidence matrix with rows BBB and columns AAA, and set HX=[IA⊗H∣HT⊗IB]H_X=[I_A\otimes H\mid H^{\mathsf T}\otimes I_B]HX​=[IA​⊗H∣HT⊗IB​], HZ=[H⊗IA∣IB⊗HT]H_Z=[H\otimes I_A\mid I_B\otimes H^{\mathsf T}]HZ​=[H⊗IA​∣IB​⊗HT]. Let RXR_XRX​ and RZR_ZRZ​ be their respective binary row spaces.

On every syndrome input, the decoder terminates and realizes the Section 3 small-set-flip algorithm, treating the two components independently. Each step flips a nonempty subset of an opposite generator's support, strictly reduces syndrome weight, and maximizes the decrease divided by the number of flipped coordinates. The deterministic implementation fixes its choices among the finitely many tied candidates. A zero syndrome returns the accumulated correction; a nonzero syndrome with no improving flip returns failure. Whenever n≥n0n\ge n_0n≥n0​, its total uniform-cost word-machine instruction count, together with the cost of loading its adjacency-list and syndrome input, is at most CnCnCn.

For every binary error pair e=(eX,eZ)e=(e_X,e_Z)e=(eX​,eZ​) on QQQ, let w(e)w(e)w(e) count coordinates on which at least one component is nonzero. If

w(e)<w0:=min⁡(γAnA,γBnB)3(1+ΔB),w(e)<w_0:=\frac{\min(\gamma_A n_A,\gamma_B n_B)}{3(1+\Delta_B)},w(e)<w0​:=3(1+ΔB​)min(γA​nA​,γB​nB​)​,

then on the exact syndrome (HXeX,HZeZ)(H_Xe_X,H_Ze_Z)(HX​eX​,HZ​eZ​) the decoder returns a correction (cX,cZ)(c_X,c_Z)(cX​,cZ​) satisfying

cX+eX∈RZ,cZ+eZ∈RX.c_X+e_X\in R_Z,\qquad c_Z+e_Z\in R_X.cX​+eX​∈RZ​,cZ​+eZ​∈RX​.

Correctness holds at every admissible finite size. This is an exact adversarial decoding guarantee for the associated quantum code, with linear classical runtime when degrees are fixed.

Formalization Note The positive-degree, nonempty-part convention used in the paper's proof is explicit. Equation (6)'s mixed coordinate names are read as the supports of the HXH_XHX​ rows fixed by Equation (1) and the incidence formulas. These source clarifications are disclosed for independent moderation; the strict threshold and all constants in it are unchanged. Runtime and realization are conclusions about an executable classical machine; no progress or minimum-distance assertion is a hypothesis.

Simulating Hamiltonian dynamics with a truncated Taylor seriesResearch Paper

Motivation

Simulating Hamiltonian dynamics with a truncated Taylor series establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let D,L≥1D,L\ge1D,L≥1, let α1,…,αL>0\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_L>0α1​,…,αL​>0 be known coefficients, and let t>0t>0t>0 and 0<ϵ<10<\epsilon<10<ϵ<1. For any unitary matrices H1,…,HLH_1,\ldots,H_LH1​,…,HL​ on a DDD-dimensional system whose sum H=∑ℓ=1LαℓHℓH=\sum_{\ell=1}^L\alpha_\ell H_\ellH=∑ℓ=1L​αℓ​Hℓ​ is Hermitian, count coherent signed controlled selection ∣b,ℓ,ψ⟩↦∣b,ℓ⟩(−iHℓ)b∣ψ⟩|b,\ell,\psi\rangle\mapsto|b,\ell\rangle(-iH_\ell)^b|\psi\rangle∣b,ℓ,ψ⟩↦∣b,ℓ⟩(−iHℓ​)b∣ψ⟩ and its inverse as the access operations. Set T=t∑ℓαℓT=t\sum_\ell\alpha_\ellT=t∑ℓ​αℓ​, r=⌈T/ln⁡2⌉r=\lceil T/\ln2\rceilr=⌈T/ln2⌉, and n=⌈log⁡2D⌉n=\lceil\log_2D\rceiln=⌈log2​D⌉.

There are absolute constants C>0C>0C>0, c≥1c\ge1c≥1, and q0>exp⁡(exp⁡(1))q_0>\exp(\exp(1))q0​>exp(exp(1)), chosen before all instance data, for which the following holds. Choose the least nonnegative truncation order KKK satisfying ∑k=K+1∞(ln⁡2)k/k!≤ϵ/(cr)\sum_{k=K+1}^{\infty}(\ln2)^k/k!\le\epsilon/(cr)∑k=K+1∞​(ln2)k/k!≤ϵ/(cr). From D,L,α,t,ϵD,L,\alpha,t,\epsilonD,L,α,t,ϵ alone one can construct the paper's segmented Taylor simulator, before choosing the term oracle or the input state. The simulator uses r−1r-1r−1 segments of duration ln⁡2/∑ℓαℓ\ln2/\sum_\ell\alpha_\ellln2/∑ℓ​αℓ​ and the remaining positive duration as its final segment. Each segment uses the Taylor LCU, the normalization ancilla, and robust oblivious amplification −WRW†RW-WRW^\dagger RW−WRW†RW, with fresh zero ancillas that are subsequently discarded.

If JJJ is the standard isometric embedding of the DDD-dimensional system into nnn qubits, S\mathcal SS denotes the implemented unconditional channel, and ψ\psiψ is any unit vector, then

∥S(J∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣J†)−Je−iHt∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣eiHtJ†∥1≤ϵ.\left\|\mathcal S(J|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|J^\dagger) -J e^{-iHt}|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|e^{iHt}J^\dagger\right\|_1\le\epsilon.​S(J∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣J†)−Je−iHt∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣eiHtJ†​1​≤ϵ.

Every segment's truncated operator differs from its exact evolution by at most ϵ/(cr)\epsilon/(cr)ϵ/(cr) in spectral norm. The same construction also approximates the padded Hamiltonian on every normalized state of the full qubit register. The number of signed-selector calls is at most Cr(K+1)Cr(K+1)Cr(K+1); the number of other elementary gates is at most CLr(K+1)CLr(K+1)CLr(K+1); and peak ancillary qubits, treating the selector as the primitive access operation, are at most C(1+⌈log⁡2L⌉)(K+1)C(1+\lceil\log_2L\rceil)(K+1)C(1+⌈log2​L⌉)(K+1).

For T≥1T\ge1T≥1 and T/ϵ≥q0T/\epsilon\ge q_0T/ϵ≥q0​, the order and counted access cost satisfy

K≤Clog⁡(T/ϵ)log⁡log⁡(T/ϵ),Q≤CTlog⁡(T/ϵ)log⁡log⁡(T/ϵ).K\le C\frac{\log(T/\epsilon)}{\log\log(T/\epsilon)},\qquad Q\le CT\frac{\log(T/\epsilon)}{\log\log(T/\epsilon)}.K≤Cloglog(T/ϵ)log(T/ϵ)​,Q≤CTloglog(T/ϵ)log(T/ϵ)​.

If a signed-selector implementation has ggg elementary gates and www clean workspace qubits, there are elementary segment circuits implementing the same simulator, returning that workspace to zero, with total gate count at most C(L+g)r(K+1)C(L+g)r(K+1)C(L+g)r(K+1). In the special case in which the padded terms are tensor products of single-qubit Pauli matrices, such circuits exist with total gate count at most CL(n+1+⌈log⁡2L⌉)r(K+1)CL(n+1+\lceil\log_2L\rceil)r(K+1)CL(n+1+⌈log2​L⌉)r(K+1) and peak ancillary qubits at most C(1+⌈log⁡2L⌉)(K+1)C(1+\lceil\log_2L\rceil)(K+1)C(1+⌈log2​L⌉)(K+1).

This gives the paper's time-independent simulation cost without requiring commuting, self-inverse, Hermitian individual terms or a bound on ∥H∥\|H\|∥H∥.

Formalization Note The paper does not name the reduced-state norm. Trace norm without the factor 1/21/21/2 is used to make its discard-ancillas and error-accumulation argument precise. Eq. (10)'s failure coefficient, Eq. (16)'s partial trace of a ket, and the printed order-register amplitude are corrected as recorded in the audit. Arbitrary one- and two-qubit gates are used, with exact rotations and inverses; finite-gate-set synthesis overhead is outside the claim.

Let b≠0b\ne0b=0, and write ∣b⟩=b/∥b∥|b\rangle=b/\|b\|∣b⟩=b/∥b∥ and ∣x⟩=A−1b/∥A−1b∥|x\rangle=A^{-1}b/\|A^{-1}b\|∣x⟩=A−1b/∥A−1b∥. The coherent preparation procedure PBP_BPB​ prepares ∣b⟩|b\rangle∣b⟩ in polynomial time in log⁡N\log NlogN on the ⌈log⁡2N⌉\lceil\log_2 N\rceil⌈log2​N⌉-qubit state register; its inverse is available. Put L=max⁡{1,log⁡(κ/ε)}L=\max\{1,\log(\kappa/\varepsilon)\}L=max{1,log(κ/ε)}, with 0<ε<10<\varepsilon<10<ε<1.

There are absolute positive constants and fixed asymptotic thresholds, chosen before all public parameters and hidden inputs, with the following two conclusions.

  1. A single oracle-independent Fourier reduction for the public parameters solves the problem for every such A,b,PBA,b,P_BA,b,PB​ and every compatible coherent SELECT simulator. Sparsity is not needed for this conclusion. SELECT implements the signed evolutions used by the Fourier sum, uniformly on superpositions and with reverse access. Its maximum evolution time, required operator error, number of calls, and number of preparation calls satisfy
∣t∣≤CtκL,η=CηεκL,QSELECT,QPB≤CcallsκL.|t|\le C_t\kappa L,\qquad \eta=C_\eta\frac{\varepsilon}{\kappa\sqrt L},\qquad Q_{\mathrm{SELECT}},Q_{P_B}\le C_{\mathrm{calls}}\kappa\sqrt L.∣t∣≤Ct​κL,η=Cη​κL​ε​,QSELECT​,QPB​​≤Ccalls​κL​.

The reduction outputs a success flag with probability at least 1/21/21/2. Conditional on success, its system output is the pure state whose vector representative is the normalized action of the actually simulated Fourier block on ∣b⟩|b\rangle∣b⟩, and

∥∣x~⟩−∣x⟩∥2≤ε.\bigl\||\widetilde x\rangle-|x\rangle\bigr\|_2\le\varepsilon.​∣x⟩−∣x⟩​2​≤ε.

This representative is fixed by the Fourier block; the error is not minimized over global phases. Failure output is unrestricted.

  1. If AAA has at most ddd nonzero entries in each row and column, with 1≤d≤N1\le d\le N1≤d≤N, and PAP_APA​ supplies both the in-place column-location oracle and the XOR entry oracle of equations (1)–(2), then there is a concrete sparse implementation with the same output guarantee and worst-case bounds
QPA≤CAdκ2L5/2,QPB≤CcallsκL,Gexternal≤CGdκ2L5/2(log⁡N+L5/2).Q_{P_A}\le C_A d\kappa^2L^{5/2},\qquad Q_{P_B}\le C_{\mathrm{calls}}\kappa\sqrt L,\qquad G_{\mathrm{external}}\le C_Gd\kappa^2L^{5/2}\bigl(\log N+L^{5/2}\bigr).QPA​​≤CA​dκ2L5/2,QPB​​≤Ccalls​κL​,Gexternal​≤CG​dκ2L5/2(logN+L5/2).

The sum QPAQ_{P_A}QPA​​ counts the two matrix-oracle operations separately and then adds them. Short columns may be padded with zero entries, the location lists need not be sorted, and injectivity of each in-place location map is required. Entries use a public ordinary signed binary complex-number format. This is the exact-entry branch of the paper's access model; sufficiently accurate finite-precision access is covered through the simulator error budget. No controlled access to the input black boxes is assumed. External gates exclude internal implementations of PAP_APA​ and PBP_BPB​; inlining either subroutine adds its per-call gate cost times its corresponding number of calls.

The bounds establish logarithmic dependence on output precision for quantum state preparation. The number of calls is bounded in the worst case using a finite capped amplification routine.

Formalization Note The Lean conclusion includes both clauses in one theorem and fixes the reduction and sparse circuits before quantifying over hidden inputs. The preparation-time polynomial and binary format are public parameters. Successful output is represented by a subnormalized pure density matrix together with its explicitly specified vector representative and direct vector error. Invalid qubit padding cannot count as successful output.

Correction to the printed source.

Printed: Page 8 says a worst-case amplification guarantee needs an 'upper bound on the probability q'; page 15 writes 'τ := y_J y_K'.

Corrected: Use a known positive lower bound on q for capped amplification, as Corollary 10 does, and read the maximum evolution time as y_J z_K.

Reason: The required amplification work grows when q decreases; Corollary 10 provides q bounded below using known coefficient mass. The Fourier times are y_j z_k in (18), (31), (52); y_K is not the defined z cutoff.

R(5,5) ≥ 43 via GF(p) Polynomial SeedingResearch Paper

Motivation

The Ramsey number R(5,5) has remained open since the 1960s. The best known bounds are 43 ≤ R(5,5) ≤ 48, where the lower bound was first established by Exoo (1989) via computational search. This mission formalizes an independent verification using novel GF(p) polynomial seeding.

Setting

The Ramsey number R(s,t) is the smallest n such that every 2-coloring of the complete graph K_n contains either a red K_s or a blue K_t.

Formalization target

Goal: R(5,5) ≥ 43

Established by exhibiting an explicit 2-coloring of K₄₂ with no monochromatic K₅.

Significance

This mission produces a machine-verified certificate of R(5,5) ≥ 43 via the first formalized GF(p) polynomial construction for Ramsey colorings.

Difficulty

The central difficulty is scale: verifying zero violations requires checking all C(42,5) = 850,668 five-element subsets.

Formalization scope

  • Graphs as finite types
  • 2-colorings as Bool-valued functions
  • Violation count via finite enumeration
  • GF(43) polynomial witness

Quantum algorithms for zero-sum gamesResearch Paper

Motivation

Quantum algorithms for zero-sum games establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let n,mn,mn,m be positive integers and let A∈[−1,1]n×mA\in[-1,1]^{n\times m}A∈[−1,1]n×m be the payoff matrix of a zero-sum game. Alice maximizes the payoff and Bob minimizes it. Let Δn,Δm\Delta_n,\Delta_mΔn​,Δm​ denote the probability simplexes and let

v∗=min⁡y∈Δmmax⁡i∈[n](Ay)i.v^*=\min_{y\in\Delta_m}\max_{i\in[n]}(Ay)_i.v∗=y∈Δm​min​i∈[n]max​(Ay)i​.

For 0<ε<10<\varepsilon<10<ε<1 and 0<δ<1/30<\delta<1/30<δ<1/3, run the fixed-accuracy branch of Algorithm 1 for

T=⌈16ε2ln⁡ ⁣(nmδ)⌉T=\left\lceil\frac{16}{\varepsilon^2}\ln\!\left(\frac{nm}{\delta}\right)\right\rceilT=⌈ε216​ln(δnm​)⌉

completed updates. Starting with zero accumulators x,yx,yx,y, each update independently draws a∈[m]a\in[m]a∈[m] with probabilities proportional to exp⁡(−ATx)\exp(-A^\mathsf{T}x)exp(−ATx) and b∈[n]b\in[n]b∈[n] with probabilities proportional to exp⁡(Ay)\exp(Ay)exp(Ay), then adds (ε/4)ea(\varepsilon/4)e_a(ε/4)ea​ to yyy and (ε/4)eb(\varepsilon/4)e_b(ε/4)eb​ to xxx. The final accumulators are normalized to give x^,y^\widehat x,\widehat yx,y​.

There is a classical randomized implementation, chosen independently of the entries of AAA, whose output distribution is exactly the distribution of these normalized updates. Every update makes exactly n+mn+mn+m entry queries and uses O(n+m)O(n+m)O(n+m) numerical work; initialization and final normalization also use O(n+m)O(n+m)O(n+m) work and make no entry queries. The constants and dimension threshold in these work bounds are universal. In particular, the implementation makes exactly T(n+m)T(n+m)T(n+m) entry queries and satisfies the joint guarantee

Pr⁡ ⁣[x^∈Δn, y^∈Δm,Ay^≤(v∗+ε)1,ATx^≥(v∗−ε)1]≥1−δ.\Pr\!\left[ \widehat x\in\Delta_n,\ \widehat y\in\Delta_m,\quad A\widehat y\le(v^*+\varepsilon)\mathbf 1,\quad A^\mathsf{T}\widehat x\ge(v^*-\varepsilon)\mathbf 1 \right]\ge1-\delta.Pr[x∈Δn​, y​∈Δm​,Ay​≤(v∗+ε)1,ATx≥(v∗−ε)1]≥1−δ.

This result supplies the classical dense-entry implementation and equilibrium guarantee for Algorithm 1.

Formalization Note Numerical work uses the ideal arithmetic and finite-distribution sampling model of the proof: exponential evaluation, array operations and linear sampling passes are charged explicitly. This is not a finite-bit running-time claim. The integer iteration count is taken from the fixed-accuracy clause of Lemma 1, which Lemma 3 invokes. Updates are indexed by their number of completed steps, resolving Algorithm 1's initialization/indexing discrepancy.

Convex optimization using quantum oraclesResearch Paper

Motivation

Convex optimization using quantum oracles establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let n≥1n\ge1n≥1, let C⊆RnC\subseteq\mathbb R^nC⊆Rn be convex, and let f:C→Rf:C\to\mathbb Rf:C→R be convex. Assume r1,L>0r_1,L>0r1​,L>0, 0<ρ≤1/30<\rho\le1/30<ρ≤1/3, 0<δ≤r1nL/ρ0<\delta\le r_1nL/\rho0<δ≤r1​nL/ρ, and B∞(0,2r1)⊆CB_\infty(0,2r_1)\subseteq CB∞​(0,2r1​)⊆C. On this closed cube, assume that fff is LLL-Lipschitz in the Euclidean norm. Suppose finite binary quantum value-oracle access is available on a sufficiently fine hypergrid of this cube: the standard unitary preserves the query index and adds a fixed-point value within δ\deltaδ of fff. Its inverse is also available.

There is a quantum algorithm, fixed from the known parameters, grid and encoding before the unknown function and oracle, whose output g~∈Rn\widetilde g\in\mathbb R^ng​∈Rn satisfies, with probability at least 1−ρ1-\rho1−ρ, simultaneously for every y∈Cy\in Cy∈C,

f(y)≥f(0)+⟨g~,y⟩−232δn3Lρr1 ∥y∥1−2Ln r1,f(y)≥f(0)+⟨g~,y⟩−(23n)2δLρr1 ∥y∥2−2Ln r1.\begin{aligned} f(y)&\ge f(0)+\langle\widetilde g,y\rangle -23^2\sqrt{\frac{\delta n^3L}{\rho r_1}}\,\|y\|_1-2L\sqrt n\,r_1,\\ f(y)&\ge f(0)+\langle\widetilde g,y\rangle -(23n)^2\sqrt{\frac{\delta L}{\rho r_1}}\,\|y\|_2-2L\sqrt n\,r_1. \end{aligned}f(y)f(y)​≥f(0)+⟨g​,y⟩−232ρr1​δn3L​​∥y∥1​−2Ln​r1​,≥f(0)+⟨g​,y⟩−(23n)2ρr1​δL​​∥y∥2​−2Ln​r1​.​

The total number of forward and inverse oracle calls is O(log⁡(n/ρ))O(\log(n/\rho))O(log(n/ρ)), with an absolute constant uniform over all parameters, domains, functions, encodings, precision and oracle implementations. Precisely, there are absolute K>0K>0K>0 and s0≥1s_0\ge1s0​≥1 such that this count is at most ⌈Klog⁡(n/ρ)⌉\lceil K\log(n/\rho)\rceil⌈Klog(n/ρ)⌉ when n/ρ≥s0n/\rho\ge s_0n/ρ≥s0​; a successful finite algorithm exists throughout the admissible parameter range.

The same conclusion and query bound hold for a relational unitary δ\deltaδ-approximator: on each clean query input it preserves the input and yields a value within δ\deltaδ with probability at least 2/32/32/3, with arbitrary normalized conditional garbage. Access to its inverse is allowed.

This result supplies a uniformly valid approximate supporting hyperplane without assuming differentiability or a smoothness bound on the objective.

Formalization Note The sufficiently fine access condition is explicit geometric coverage of compatible finite-difference and uniform-center grids and translated/scaled Definition-13 midpoint grids. An existential positive resolution threshold allows arbitrarily small mesh and radius-rounding budgets. Known-parameter arithmetic guards preserve the printed constants; neither local near-linearity nor small curvature is an input hypothesis. Grid indices remain exact finite labels under their known affine embedding. The real extension of fff outside CCC is immaterial. No gate bound or convex-set oracle reduction is asserted.

Predicting Many Properties of a Quantum System from Very Few MeasurementsResearch Paper

Motivation

Predicting Many Properties of a Quantum System from Very Few Measurements establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let n≥0n\ge0n≥0, d=2nd=2^nd=2n, and let ρ\rhoρ be any density matrix on an nnn-qubit system. Fix a tomographically complete measurement primitive: a probability ensemble μ\muμ of unitary matrices, whose averaged measurement channel M\mathcal MM is invertible. A shot samples U∼μU\sim\muU∼μ, measures UρU†U\rho U^\daggerUρU† in the computational basis with Born outcome bbb, and forms the snapshot ρ^=M−1(U†∣b⟩⟨b∣U)\widehat\rho=\mathcal M^{-1}(U^\dagger|b\rangle\langle b|U)ρ​=M−1(U†∣b⟩⟨b∣U). The ensemble may be continuous and need not be uniform.

Quantum LDPC codes with positive rate and minimum distance proportional to n^{1/2}Research Paper

Motivation

Quantum LDPC codes with positive rate and minimum distance proportional to n^{1/2} establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let H∈F2r×nH\in\mathbb F_2^{r\times n}H∈F2r×n​ have linearly independent rows, where n=r+kn=r+kn=r+k, and let C=ker⁡HC=\ker HC=kerH. Write ddd for the minimum Hamming weight of a nonzero word of CCC, with d=∞d=\inftyd=∞ when C={0}C=\{0\}C={0}. Form the two parity-check matrices

HX=(H⊗In∣Ir⊗HT),HZ=(In⊗H∣HT⊗Ir).H_X=(H\otimes I_n\mid I_r\otimes H^{\mathsf T}),\qquad H_Z=(I_n\otimes H\mid H^{\mathsf T}\otimes I_r).HX​=(H⊗In​∣Ir​⊗HT),HZ​=(In​⊗H∣HT⊗Ir​).

The qubit coordinates are the disjoint union ([n]×[n])⊔([r]×[r])([n]\times[n])\sqcup([r]\times[r])([n]×[n])⊔([r]×[r]), explicitly reindexed as [N][N][N] for N=n2+r2N=n^2+r^2N=n2+r2. Set CX=ker⁡HXC_X=\ker H_XCX​=kerHX​ and CZ=ker⁡HZC_Z=\ker H_ZCZ​=kerHZ​. Then dim⁡F2C=k\dim_{\mathbb F_2} C=kdimF2​​C=k, HXHZT=0H_XH_Z^{\mathsf T}=0HX​HZT​=0, and CZ⊥⊆CXC_Z^\perp\subseteq C_XCZ⊥​⊆CX​, so these matrices define a valid CSS code. Its parameters are

dim⁡F2(CX/CZ⊥)=k2,dim⁡CQ=2k2,dQ=min⁡ ⁣{min⁡x∈CX∖CZ⊥∣x∣,min⁡z∈CZ∖CX⊥∣z∣}=d.\dim_{\mathbb F_2}(C_X/C_Z^\perp)=k^2,\qquad \dim_{\mathbb C}\mathcal Q=2^{k^2},\qquad d_Q=\min\!\left\{\min_{x\in C_X\setminus C_Z^\perp}|x|, \min_{z\in C_Z\setminus C_X^\perp}|z|\right\}=d.dimF2​​(CX​/CZ⊥​)=k2,dimC​Q=2k2,dQ​=min{x∈CX​∖CZ⊥​min​∣x∣,z∈CZ​∖CX⊥​min​∣z∣}=d.

Here Q\mathcal QQ is the CSS coding subspace, ∣⋅∣|\cdot|∣⋅∣ denotes Hamming weight, and an empty minimum is infinity. For every row index a∈[r]a\in[r]a∈[r] and column index b∈[n]b\in[n]b∈[n], the exact check weights are

∣(HX)(a,b),∙∣=∣Ha,∙∣+∣H∙,b∣,∣(HZ)(b,a),∙∣=∣H∙,b∣+∣Ha,∙∣.|(H_X)_{(a,b),\bullet}|=|H_{a,\bullet}|+|H_{\bullet,b}|,\qquad |(H_Z)_{(b,a),\bullet}|=|H_{\bullet,b}|+|H_{a,\bullet}|.∣(HX​)(a,b),∙​∣=∣Ha,∙​∣+∣H∙,b​∣,∣(HZ​)(b,a),∙​∣=∣H∙,b​∣+∣Ha,∙​∣.

Consequently, if every row of HHH has weight at most uuu and every column has weight at most vvv, every row of either constructed check matrix has weight at most u+vu+vu+v. Bounds u,vu,vu,v independent of blocklength therefore preserve the LDPC property; no regularity or self-orthogonality of the input code is required.

This construction transfers the classical code's minimum distance to a quantum CSS code while giving the exact logical dimension and preserving sparse checks.

Theorem 1

Let H∈F2r×nH\in\mathbb F_2^{r\times n}H∈F2r×n​ have linearly independent rows, where n=r+kn=r+kn=r+k, and let C=ker⁡HC=\ker HC=kerH. Write ddd for the minimum Hamming weight of a nonzero word of CCC, with d=∞d=\inftyd=∞ when C={0}C=\{0\}C={0}. Form the two parity-check matrices

Quantum SDP Solvers: Large Speed-ups, Optimality, and Applications to Quantum LearningResearch Paper

Motivation

Quantum SDP Solvers: Large Speed-ups, Optimality, and Applications to Quantum Learning establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let n,m≥1n,m\geq1n,m≥1, let ∅≠S⊆[m]\varnothing\ne S\subseteq[m]∅=S⊆[m], and let cj>0c_j>0cj​>0 for j∈Sj\in Sj∈S. Let Aj+,Aj−∈Cn×nA_j^+,A_j^-\in\mathbb C^{n\times n}Aj+​,Aj−​∈Cn×n be positive semidefinite, and set

K±=∑j∈ScjAj±,K=K+−K−.K^\pm=\sum_{j\in S}c_jA_j^\pm,\qquad K=K^+-K^-.K±=j∈S∑​cj​Aj±​,K=K+−K−.

Assume rank⁡(K+),rank⁡(K−)≤rK\operatorname{rank}(K^+),\operatorname{rank}(K^-)\leq r_Krank(K+),rank(K−)≤rK​ and Tr⁡(K+)+Tr⁡(K−)≤BK\operatorname{Tr}(K^+)+\operatorname{Tr}(K^-)\leq B_KTr(K+)+Tr(K−)≤BK​, with rK∈Nr_K\in\mathbb NrK​∈N, BK≥0B_K\geq0BK​≥0, and ϵ>0\epsilon>0ϵ>0.

Oracle D.1 and its inverse write exact binary representations of both component traces at initialized answer registers. Oracle D.2 and its inverse jointly prepare arbitrary normalized purifications of Aj±/Tr⁡(Aj±)A_j^\pm/\operatorname{Tr}(A_j^\pm)Aj±​/Tr(Aj±​) when that trace is nonzero. At trace zero they prepare arbitrary normalized states, whose zero-weight contributions are ignored. All other finite-register actions, purification phases, and actions on unused qubit labels are arbitrary. Each source tensor factor is separately encoded in binary, in the displayed source order. The actual supplied qubit oracles must restrict to these finite-register unitaries; a known identity extension or controlled black-box operation is not assumed.

There are absolute C>0C>0C>0 and q∈Nq\in\mathbb Nq∈N such that, for each public n,m,S,c,rK,BK,ϵn,m,S,c,r_K,B_K,\epsilonn,m,S,c,rK​,BK​,ϵ and binary trace format, a sampler and workspace can be chosen before the hidden PSD matrices and before all compatible oracle unitaries. It terminates almost surely, has a summable unconditional output density σ\sigmaσ, and satisfies

∥σ−e−KTr⁡(e−K)∥Tr≤ϵ,E[G+QD.1+QD.2]≤C∣S∣(1+log⁡m)(1+log⁡n+rK+BK+ϵ−1)q.\left\|\sigma-\frac{e^{-K}}{\operatorname{Tr}(e^{-K})}\right\|_{\mathrm{Tr}}\leq\epsilon, \qquad \mathbb E[G+Q_{\mathrm{D.1}}+Q_{\mathrm{D.2}}] \leq C|S|(1+\log m)(1+\log n+r_K+B_K+\epsilon^{-1})^q.​σ−Tr(e−K)e−K​​Tr​≤ϵ,E[G+QD.1​+QD.2​]≤C∣S∣(1+logm)(1+logn+rK​+BK​+ϵ−1)q.

Here GGG counts one- and two-qubit gates, preparations and measurements, and QQQ counts actual oracle or inverse calls. Finite classical draws are free in this model. The same bound holds with any Φ≥∣S∣\Phi\geq|S|Φ≥∣S∣ in place of ∣S∣|S|∣S∣.

Printed / changed / why. Lemma 12 prints ∣S∣poly⁡(log⁡n,rK,BK,ϵ−1)|S|\operatorname{poly}(\log n,r_K,B_K,\epsilon^{-1})∣S∣poly(logn,rK​,BK​,ϵ−1). The corrected elementary-gate statement includes 1+log⁡m1+\log m1+logm to charge preparation of an indexed-oracle address, and excludes empty support to avoid a literal zero-cost maximally mixed state. Zero components are retained according to the paper's own application on p.29; the arbitrary-state convention completes the otherwise undefined normalized quotient without changing any nonzero component. Precision uses the unhalved trace norm in Eqs. (F.15)–(F.17); expected repetition is stated on p.33.

Correction to the printed source.

Printed: For S subset [m], Lemma 12 gives |S| * poly(log n, r_K, B_K, epsilon inverse) quantum gates and D.1/D.2 queries; D.2 writes A_j^sign / Tr(A_j^sign) without a zero-trace convention.

Corrected: Require S nonempty and include an elementary address-cost factor 1 + log m in both the |S| bound and its Phi corollary. Permit arbitrary normalized D.2 outputs for zero PSD components and arbitrary unitary completions on unused qubit labels, preserving the promises on every nonzero component.

Reason: The all-zero initialized elementary-gate model must prepare an m-valued address: for singleton S at a distant index this requires Omega(log m) one- or two-qubit gates, while the printed bound has no m dependence. Empty S makes the printed bound zero although K=0 has Gibbs state I/n, which is mixed for n>1. The paper explicitly applies Lemma 12 with zero components on p.29, and Lemma 11 assigns them zero selection probability; excluding them drops source cases. No nonzero quotient, Gibbs target, rank/trace bound, oracle count, accuracy, or quantifier order is changed.

Shadow Tomography of Quantum StatesResearch Paper

Motivation

Shadow Tomography of Quantum States establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

There are universal constants C>0C>0C>0 and p∈Np\in\mathbb Np∈N and one explicit adaptive measurement constructor with the following property. Let D,M≥1D,M\ge1D,M≥1 be integers, let E1,…,EME_1,\ldots,E_ME1​,…,EM​ be known two-outcome measurement effects on CD\mathbb C^DCD (so 0⪯Ei⪯I0\preceq E_i\preceq I0⪯Ei​⪯I), and let 0<ε,δ<10<\varepsilon,\delta<10<ε,δ<1. The constructor depends on these known data and not on the unknown state.

Write LD=max⁡{1,log⁡D}L_D=\max\{1,\log D\}LD​=max{1,logD}, LM=max⁡{1,log⁡M}L_M=\max\{1,\log M\}LM​=max{1,logM}, Lδ=max⁡{1,log⁡(1/δ)}L_\delta=\max\{1,\log(1/\delta)\}Lδ​=max{1,log(1/δ)}, Lε=max⁡{1,log⁡(1/ε)}L_\varepsilon=\max\{1,\log(1/\varepsilon)\}Lε​=max{1,log(1/ε)}, LLM=max⁡{1,log⁡LM}L_{LM}=\max\{1,\log L_M\}LLM​=max{1,logLM​}, and LLD=max⁡{1,log⁡LD}L_{LD}=\max\{1,\log L_D\}LLD​=max{1,logLD​}. The constructed procedure uses kkk independent copies of the unknown state, with

k≤⌈Cε−4LδLM4LD(1+LLM+LLD+Lε)p⌉.k\le\left\lceil C\varepsilon^{-4}L_\delta L_M^4 L_D(1+L_{LM}+L_{LD}+L_\varepsilon)^p\right\rceil.k≤⌈Cε−4Lδ​LM4​LD​(1+LLM​+LLD​+Lε​)p⌉.

For every density matrix ρ\rhoρ on CD\mathbb C^DCD, a run on ρ⊗k\rho^{\otimes k}ρ⊗k returns numbers b1,…,bM∈[0,1]b_1,\ldots,b_M\in[0,1]b1​,…,bM​∈[0,1] satisfying

Pr⁡ ⁣[∀i∈{1,…,M}, ∣bi−Tr⁡(Eiρ)∣≤ε]≥1−δ.\Pr\!\left[\forall i\in\{1,\ldots,M\},\ |b_i-\operatorname{Tr}(E_i\rho)|\le\varepsilon\right]\ge1-\delta.Pr[∀i∈{1,…,M}, ∣bi​−Tr(Ei​ρ)∣≤ε]≥1−δ.

Collective measurements, adaptive measurements, temporary ancillas, and unrestricted known-data classical computation are permitted. The procedure composes physical quantum-OR decision programs, the paper's binary gentle search over signed amplified deviation effects, and classical matrix multiplicative weights. This estimates the entire specified list simultaneously without reconstructing the unknown density matrix in trace distance.

Formalization Note The finite adaptive instrument programs carry normalized Kraus families. The constructor supplies actual physical decision programs, not an assumed accuracy contract or a state oracle. The source composition is executed by chunk-local recursive definitions. The logarithm floors extend the asymptotic notation to D=1D=1D=1, M=1M=1M=1, and other finite boundary regimes; they introduce no additional asymptotic parameter dependence.

Target

Theorem 2 (Shadow Tomography Theorem); Problem 1

There are universal constants C>0C>0C>0 and p∈Np\in\mathbb Np∈N and one explicit adaptive measurement constructor with the following property. Let D,M≥1D,M\ge1D,M≥1 be integers, let E1,…,EME_1,\ldots,E_ME1​,…,EM​ be known two-outcome measurement effects on CD\mathbb C^DCD (so 0⪯Ei⪯I0\preceq E_i\preceq I0⪯Ei​⪯I), and let 0<ε,δ<10<\varepsilon,\delta<10<ε,δ<1. The constructor depends on these known data and not on the unknown state.

Write LD=max⁡{1,log⁡D}L_D=\max\{1,\log D\}LD​=max{1,logD}, LM=max⁡{1,log⁡M}L_M=\max\{1,\log M\}LM​=max{1,logM}, Lδ=max⁡{1,log⁡(1/δ)}L_\delta=\max\{1,\log(1/\delta)\}Lδ​=max{1,log(1/δ)}, Lε=max⁡{1,log⁡(1/ε)}L_\varepsilon=\max\{1,\log(1/\varepsilon)\}Lε​=max{1,log(1/ε)}, LLM=max⁡{1,log⁡LM}L_{LM}=\max\{1,\log L_M\}LLM​=max{1,logLM​}, and LLD=max⁡{1,log⁡LD}L_{LD}=\max\{1,\log L_D\}LLD​=max{1,logLD​}. The constructed procedure uses kkk independent copies of the unknown state, with

k≤⌈Cε−4LδLM4LD(1+LLM+LLD+Lε)p⌉.k\le\left\lceil C\varepsilon^{-4}L_\delta L_M^4 L_D(1+L_{LM}+L_{LD}+L_\varepsilon)^p\right\rceil.k≤⌈Cε−4Lδ​LM4​LD​(1+LLM​+LLD​+Lε​)p⌉.

For every density matrix ρ\rhoρ on CD\mathbb C^DCD, a run on ρ⊗k\rho^{\otimes k}ρ⊗k returns numbers b1,…,bM∈[0,1]b_1,\ldots,b_M\in[0,1]b1​,…,bM​∈[0,1] satisfying

Pr⁡ ⁣[∀i∈{1,…,M}, ∣bi−Tr⁡(Eiρ)∣≤ε]≥1−δ.\Pr\!\left[\forall i\in\{1,\ldots,M\},\ |b_i-\operatorname{Tr}(E_i\rho)|\le\varepsilon\right]\ge1-\delta.Pr[∀i∈{1,…,M}, ∣bi​−Tr(Ei​ρ)∣≤ε]≥1−δ.

Collective measurements, adaptive measurements, temporary ancillas, and unrestricted known-data classical computation are permitted. The procedure composes physical quantum-OR decision programs, the paper's binary gentle search over signed amplified deviation effects, and classical matrix multiplicative weights. This estimates the entire specified list simultaneously without reconstructing the unknown density matrix in trace distance.

Formalization Note The finite adaptive instrument programs carry normalized Kraus families. The constructor supplies actual physical decision programs, not an assumed accuracy contract or a state oracle. The source composition is executed by chunk-local recursive definitions. The logarithm floors extend the asymptotic notation to D=1D=1D=1, M=1M=1M=1, and other finite boundary regimes; they introduce no additional asymptotic parameter dependence. No computation-time or gate-complexity assertion is made.

Significance

These are known results from the cited paper. The current contribution consists of source-reviewed, compiler-checked theorem statements and mathematical definitions. Formal proofs remain open. Only the listed selected results are in scope; no whole-paper completeness is claimed.

Difficulty

A complete solution must establish every quantified conclusion under the exact stated hypotheses, including error, probability and resource conditions wherever present. The source assumptions and conventions are recorded in the attached statements and independent readbacks.

Formalization scope

Definitions preserve the existing reviewed Lean interfaces. Every target proof is currently sorry, so each target is Open. Printed-source corrections, where necessary, are labeled with the printed claim, the change and its reason.

Quantum speedup of Monte Carlo methodsResearch Paper

Motivation

Quantum speedup of Monte Carlo methods establishes the selected mathematical guarantees below. The mission turns those original paper results into precise Lean proof targets.

Setting

Let AAA be the coherent unitary representation of a randomized or quantum computation on n=h+kn=h+kn=h+k qubits, initially in ∣0n⟩|0^n\rangle∣0n⟩, with no intermediate measurements and with access to its inverse. Measuring the last kkk qubits gives a bit string xxx, whose output is the fixed value φ(x)∈[0,1]\varphi(x)\in[0,1]φ(x)∈[0,1]. The value-dependent flag rotation is supplied exactly; the source assumes that φ\varphiφ is easily computable. Write μ=E[v(A)]\mu=\mathbb E[v(A)]μ=E[v(A)].

Attach a fresh flag and prepare ∣ψ⟩|\psi\rangle∣ψ⟩ by rotating it to 1−φ(x)∣0⟩+φ(x)∣1⟩\sqrt{1-\varphi(x)}|0\rangle+\sqrt{\varphi(x)}|1\rangle1−φ(x)​∣0⟩+φ(x)​∣1⟩. Set P=I⊗∣1⟩⟨1∣P=I\otimes|1\rangle\langle1|P=I⊗∣1⟩⟨1∣, U=2∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣−IU=2|\psi\rangle\langle\psi|-IU=2∣ψ⟩⟨ψ∣−I, and V=I−2PV=I-2PV=I−2P. For any positive integer ttt and 0<δ<10<\delta<10<δ<1, Algorithm 1 applies amplitude estimation independently r(δ)=2⌈100log⁡(1/δ)⌉+1r(\delta)=2\lceil100\log(1/\delta)\rceil+1r(δ)=2⌈100log(1/δ)⌉+1 times and returns the median μ~\widetilde\muμ​. One run uses uniform control on {0,…,t−1}\{0,\ldots,t-1\}{0,…,t−1}, controlled powers of UVUVUV, the inverse Fourier transform of dimension ttt, and the estimate sin⁡2(πj/t)\sin^2(\pi j/t)sin2(πj/t) for control outcome jjj.

There exist positive universal constants C,K,DC,K,DC,K,D, chosen before all sampler data and parameters, such that, with Lδ=max⁡{1,log⁡(1/δ)}L_\delta=\max\{1,\log(1/\delta)\}Lδ​=max{1,log(1/δ)},

Ncopies≤KLδ,NU≤KtLδ,Pr⁡ ⁣[∣μ~−μ∣≤C(μt+1t2)]≥1−δ.N_{\mathrm{copies}}\le K L_\delta,\qquad N_U\le KtL_\delta,\qquad \Pr\!\left[|\widetilde\mu-\mu|\le C\left(\frac{\sqrt\mu}{t}+\frac{1}{t^2}\right)\right]\ge1-\delta.Ncopies​≤KLδ​,NU​≤KtLδ​,Pr[∣μ​−μ∣≤C(tμ​​+t21​)]≥1−δ.

Here the actual schedule consumes r(δ)r(\delta)r(δ) fresh copies of A∣0n⟩A|0^n\rangleA∣0n⟩ and r(δ)(t−1)r(\delta)(t-1)r(δ)(t−1) calls to UUU, counting controlled calls as uses.

For every 0<ε≤10<\varepsilon\le10<ε≤1:

  1. If μ>0\mu>0μ>0, there is a positive integer t≤D/(εμ)t\le D/(\varepsilon\sqrt\mu)t≤D/(εμ​) for which Pr⁡[∣μ~−μ∣≤εμ]≥1−δ\Pr[|\widetilde\mu-\mu|\le\varepsilon\mu]\ge1-\deltaPr[∣μ​−μ∣≤εμ]≥1−δ.
  2. There is a positive integer t≤D/εt\le D/\varepsilont≤D/ε for which Pr⁡[∣μ~−μ∣≤ε]≥1−δ\Pr[|\widetilde\mu-\mu|\le\varepsilon]\ge1-\deltaPr[∣μ​−μ∣≤ε]≥1−δ.

If μ=0\mu=0μ=0, the estimator returns zero with probability one for every positive integer ttt. The bounds hold for every coherent computation, including each instance of any oracle it uses. They quantify copies and reflections separately.

This is the bounded-output mean-estimation subroutine used by the paper's later Monte Carlo algorithms.

Formalization Note The selected result is Theorem 3 on PDF pages 8–9, rather than a later bounded-variance theorem. The printed reciprocal rates at ε=0\varepsilon=0ε=0 supply no finite exact-estimation claim; the reciprocal corollaries therefore use 0<ε≤10<\varepsilon\le10<ε≤1. The all-confidence bound LδL_\deltaLδ​ agrees with O(log⁡(1/δ))O(\log(1/\delta))O(log(1/δ)) as δ\deltaδ tends to zero. The unspecified repetition coefficient is fixed to the odd representative above. The theorem asserts no gate-time bound for computing φ\varphiφ.
