How statement and proof provenance work

The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.

  • Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
  • AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
  • AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.

These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.

Quantum counting by uniform-state amplitude estimation

Definition

Input. A Boolean predicate f:{0,1}n→{0,1}, an integer n≥0, N=2n, an explicitly supplied controlled membership reflection for Sgood, a power of two M=2m≥2, and the other controlled accesses in Amplitude estimation and counting input/output contract.

Prepare N−1/2∑x∣x⟩=H⊗n∣0n⟩, run the m-qubit QPE circuit for Q with M=2m labels, measure y, and output the exact algebraic fraction estimate a~=sin⁡2(πy/M) and count estimate t~=Na~. For M≥4 this is the QFT amplitude-estimation circuit of QFT-based amplitude estimation; for M=2, use its one-phase-qubit QPE circuit directly, without invoking the M≥4 error theorem. The fraction and count are real-valued algebraic outputs; integer rounding is optional postprocessing. The controlled membership reflection is an explicit access requirement. In repeated-unitary mode each controlled Q call charges one controlled membership reflection; in power-query mode each supplied controlled power carries its declared cost vector, including any membership-reflection implementations it uses. Neither access mode is inferred from the bare phase oracle ∣x⟩↦(−1)f(x).

Dependency tree · two levels

51 results within two dependency steps of this one, each drawn at its shortest distance from it. An arrow runs from a result to what uses it, so the chart reads left to right and ends at this result, which carries a heavier outline. Every node is a link to that result.
