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.

Exact binary QFT circuit

Definition

Input: an n-qubit register with ordered wires qn−1,…,q0, n≥0. The input integer is encoded by x=∑j=0n−1xj2j in the computational basis, as specified by Big-endian encoding of ordered bit strings.

Output: the following finite gate list, defining a unitary by the circuit semantics of Denotational semantics of a finite layered circuit on the ordered-register syntax of Finite circuit syntax and ordered wire labels, and using no ancillas.

  1. For j=n−1,n−2,…,0, complete the following block before proceeding to the next j: apply H to target qj; then, for i=0,1,…,j−1 in that order, apply CPj−i+1 to the pair (qi,qj), with qi as control and qj as target. Here CPs is the ideal controlled phase defined in QFT ideal and finite-set gate-cost models.
  2. After completing every block in the descending j loop, for j=0,1,…,⌊n/2⌋−1, swap qj with qn−1−j.

The chronological order is exactly the order listed. If n=0, all loops are empty and the output is the empty circuit, i.e. the identity on the one-dimensional register.

Dependency tree · two levels

29 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.
