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.

Finite capped amplification succeeds with a supplied lower bound

Statement

Let a unitary flagged preparation V have well probability p≥p0:=1/(16κ2), κ≥1, and exact inverse access. Set K=⌈4κ⌉, R=⌈16ln⁡(1/ρ)⌉+16 for 0<ρ<1. In each of R fresh rounds, draw b=⌈log⁡2K⌉ uniform bits; reject the round without queries if the resulting integer j≥K, and otherwise run j amplitude-amplification iterations from V∣0⟩, then verify the well flag. The probability that all rounds fail is at most ρ. The conditional well state in every successful round is the same pure-state ray as the normalized well component of V∣0⟩. The total number of V,V† calls is at most 2RK.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: A fixed unitary state preparation, its inverse, and an orthogonal well-flag projection.

[F1]

Amplitude-amplification invariant plane: the initial good and bad components span an invariant plane for the amplification iterate.

[F2]

Exact success probability after amplitude amplification: if p=sin⁡2θ, after j rounds the success probability is sin⁡2((2j+1)θ).

[F3]

Amplitude amplification with a fixed integer iteration count: one iterate consists of the supplied preparation, its inverse, and the two declared reflections.

[F4]

Inverse Unitary Access: every inverse call is an explicitly supplied access with a separately chargeable cost.

[F5]

Sine chord and linear bounds: sin⁡v≥2v/π for 0≤v≤π/2.

[F6]

The addition formulas for sine and cosine and Double-angle and quadratic power-reduction identities: sine addition gives sin⁡(a+b)−sin⁡(a−b)=2cos⁡(a)sin⁡(b), and the double-angle formulas give sin⁡2x=(1−cos⁡(2x))/2 and cos⁡2x=(1+cos⁡(2x))/2.

Proof

For 0<sin⁡(2ϕ), the addition identity in [F6] gives sin⁡((4j+4)ϕ)−sin⁡(4jϕ)=2cos⁡((4j+2)ϕ)sin⁡(2ϕ). Summing over j=0,…,K−1 telescopes, so ∑jcos⁡((4j+2)ϕ)=sin⁡(4Kϕ)/(2sin⁡(2ϕ)). The double-angle identities in [F6] therefore give ∑j=0K−1sin⁡2((2j+1)ϕ)=K/2−sin⁡(4Kϕ)/(4sin⁡(2ϕ)), and the corresponding cosine-square sum has a plus sign. Here the denominators are positive except at the separately treated endpoint p=1. Put θ=arcsin⁡p. For p≤1/2, sin⁡(2θ)=2p(1−p)≥2p≥1/(22κ). The finite sine-square identity from [F6] gives average success 1K∑j=0K−1sin⁡2((2j+1)θ)=12−sin⁡(4Kθ)4Ksin⁡(2θ)≥12−14Ksin⁡(2θ)≥12−142>14. For 1/2<p<1, put θ′=π/2−θ∈[0,π/4). The cosine-square version of [F6] gives average success 12+sin⁡(4Kθ′)4Ksin⁡(2θ′). If its sine numerator is nonnegative this is at least 1/2. If it is negative, then 4Kθ′>π, and [F5] gives sin⁡(2θ′)≥4θ′/π, so the magnitude of the fraction is at most π/(16Kθ′)<1/4. The average is again greater than 1/4. At p=1, every iteration succeeds. Thus uniform accepted j has average success at least 1/4 for every p≥p0.

Since K≤2b<2K, the random-bit draw is accepted with probability K/2b>1/2 and, conditioned on acceptance, is uniform on {0,…,K−1}. Each fresh round therefore succeeds with probability at least 1/8. Independence of fresh preparation, bits and verification gives total failure at most (7/8)R≤e−R/8, since [F7] gives ln⁡(8/7)=∫18/7dt/t≥(1/7)(7/8)=1/8 and R≥16ln⁡(1/ρ). Therefore the failure is at most e−2ln⁡(1/ρ)=ρ2≤ρ.

At most K−1 iterations occur in one round, each using one V and one V† besides the initial V; hence each call count is at most RK, and their sum is at most 2RK. The good component remains collinear by [F1, F3]; its scalar rotation coefficient may be negative, but every positive-probability well branch therefore has the same pure-state ray as the normalized initial well component.
