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.
QMA promise class with a verifier effect on witnesses
Definition
Let be a promise problem, efficiently encoded rational thresholds, and polynomially bounded witness and zero-initialized workspace lengths. Require for some polynomially bounded positive . Then if there is a full-list uniform verifier interface as in Uniform verifier interface with a quantum witness such that every has a witness density operator with , and every and every witness density operator satisfy . Behavior outside is unrestricted. The standard bounded-error class uses and . The effect and probability are well-defined by A finite verifier induces an effect on its witness.

Dependency tree · two levels
17 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.
