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.
Projected block identity for a supplied LCU circuit
Statement
Let have exact block encodings , let , and put . Set and extend each component to the common ordered ancilla/system register by , with unused ancillas preceding its original ancillas. Let be a supplied unitary with , and let the separately supplied unitary SELECT act as with phase on index . With , the all-zero coefficient and component-ancilla block of is This is a conditional matrix identity. It does not construct SELECT from an XOR-valued function oracle or assign a cost to any supplied operation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: Finite square matrices , their exact block encodings, nonzero coefficients , and the supplied unitaries and SELECT.
, SELECT applies on index , and .
Finite block encoding: for an exact block encoding, the all-zero ancilla compression of is .
Block-encoding oracle and implementation cost model: access to SELECT and its component circuits is separately supplied and costed.
Dirac Notation Conversion: the ket denotes vector , and the bra denotes the functional .
Proof
Put and . The weights are nonnegative and sum to one by the definition of . By [A1], the initial coefficient register is , and SELECT applies in the orthogonal index- subspace, so on the component and data registers. This is an identity on already supplied operations; [F2] keeps SELECT construction and component costs separate.
Project the common -ancilla register onto its all-zero input and output. The identity extension contributes one on the unused zero ancillas, so by [F1] each extended component still compresses to . Hence the resulting data block is . The coefficient and component registers were both projected onto their specified zero states, so this is exactly the claimed all-zero block.
