# Where the extra `½` comes from: the fidelity of a displaced thermal state with a
coherent state (plan GAP-1, Part A.4 / F.4)

`ChapterCoherentTemperature` *defines* the chapter's temperature as `τ = n̄ + ½`,
`ChapterThermalTemperatureCore` proves the occupation-number identities behind it,
and `ChapterDisplacedThermalOverlap` models a displaced thermal state by a
Gaussian whose variance is `n̄ + ½` — but in that Gaussian model the zero-point
half is *put in by hand* (it is the variance of the vacuum noise the model
convolves with).

This module removes that postulate.  The extra `½` is derived from the
**coherent-state overlap** by a computation carried out entirely in
occupation-number (Fock) coordinates:

* `coherentThermalFidelity nbar lam` is the fidelity `⟨β| ρ_th(n̄) |β⟩` of a
  thermal state of mean occupation `n̄` with a coherent state of intensity
  `λ = ‖β‖²`, written as the sum `∑ₙ |⟨β|n⟩|² · Pr_th(n)` of the coherent
  (Poisson) occupation statistics against the thermal (geometric) ones;
* `coherentThermalFidelity_eq` — the closed form
  `⟨β|ρ_th|β⟩ = exp(−λ/(n̄+1)) / (n̄+1)`: a Gaussian in the phase-space distance
  `λ = ‖β‖²` whose **width is `n̄ + 1`**;
* `coherentThermalFidelity_vacuum_eq_fidelityC` — at `n̄ = 0` the same expression
  *is* the coherent-state fidelity `exp(−‖q−k‖²)` of `ChapterCoherentFidelity`,
  the Born numerator of the attention weight.  So the coherent state contributes
  width `½` to an overlap (`fidelityC_width`: two coherent states give width
  `½ + ½ = 1`);
* `coherentThermalFidelity_width_eq` — the width of the thermal–coherent fidelity
  splits as `n̄ + 1 = τ + ½` with `τ = n̄ + ½`: the thermal state's own width plus
  the coherent probe's zero-point half.  Widths add, and the half in `τ` is
  exactly the coherent-state half;
* `thermalTemperature_eq_fidelity_width_sub_coherent_half` — **headline**: the
  temperature is *read off* the fidelity rather than postulated.  If the
  thermal–coherent fidelity is the Gaussian `exp(−λ/w)/w` of some width `w > 0`,
  then necessarily `τ = w − ½`, the subtracted `½` being the coherent-state width
  `coherentWidth` fixed by the coherent–coherent overlap;
* `dtOverlap_coherentParameter` and `dtOverlap_width_eq_two_tau` — the same
  additivity checked against the Gaussian model of
  `ChapterDisplacedThermalOverlap`: in the dimensionless coherent parameter
  (`x = √2·α`) the overlap of two displaced thermal states is
  `exp(−‖α₁−α₂‖²/(2τ))`, i.e. width `τ + τ`, and at `n̄ = 0` this is again the
  coherent-state overlap.  The Fock computation and the Gaussian model therefore
  agree, and both assign the coherent state the width `½`.

Everything here is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`,
`Classical.choice`, `Quot.sound`).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
