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.
One finite abelian hidden-subgroup Fourier sample
Definition
Inputs are a hiding instance from Finite abelian hidden-subgroup promise and output encoding, a fresh -qubit group register and supplied exact circuits with declared access/costs, where is the group-code width in that definition:
- prepares the normalized uniform state on valid group labels and returns its workspace to the declared initial state.
- is the supplied coherent XOR oracle for the total extension in Finite abelian hidden-subgroup promise and output encoding, acting on the group register and a fresh -qubit output register initialized to the all-zero word .
- is the supplied exact product QFT, with the fixed negative-character convention on the valid group subspace. It is supplied as a unitary on the full -qubit register, so any extension from the valid-label subspace is part of the circuit input.
If , return the unique trivial character without a query. Otherwise:
- Prepare with .
- Apply once to the group register and fresh output register.
- Discard the output register by the declared partial-trace operation; do not measure it.
- Apply to the group register and measure the full -qubit register in its ordered computational basis; the prescribed QFT action places the state in the valid character-code subspace.
- Decode the measured valid character code as the tuple and return .
This procedure assumes the preparation, oracle, and QFT circuits are supplied exactly. It makes no existence, uniformity, or efficiency claim for those circuits.

Dependency tree · two levels
69 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.
