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.
Normal form of a single-qubit ring unitary
Statement
If is a unitary with entries in , then for some ,
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , and .
Linear isometries, and orthogonal or unitary operators on finite-dimensional inner product spaces: in finite dimension a unitary operator satisfies .
Unit-modulus elements of the dyadic cyclotomic ring: if and , then for some integer .
Proof
The first column of is a unit vector, so . Its orthogonal complement is the one-dimensional span of , which is itself a unit vector. Therefore the second column is for a scalar with .
The determinant of this displayed matrix is . Because its entries lie in and is a ring, . By [F2], for some . Substitution gives the asserted form.
Unresolved supplier checks
The actual QC07 gate, QC09 circuit-semantics, and local entry-ring bodies were inspected; their matrix and ordered-word conventions match this argument. The supplier items remain draft and are not accepted by this record.

Dependency tree · two levels
12 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.
