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.
Amplitude-amplification access and resource accounting
Statement
One standard iterate expands as It therefore uses one good-subspace phase operation, one zero-input phase operation, one forward , and one inverse . The initial preparation adds one further forward ; optional final verification is separate. For , the prepared-state -sign reflection is , where is the rank-one reflection of Orthogonal-Projector Reflection and Access Contract. The composite is not a free primitive unless that separate access is explicitly supplied. Query calls, gates, state preparation, controlled access, and classical costs remain distinct.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The fixed-iterate algorithm and its declared access model.
Amplitude amplification with a fixed integer iteration count: the standard iterate has the displayed factorization and is applied times after one initial preparation.
Orthogonal-Projector Reflection and Access Contract: is the specified -sign reflection, and reflection access/cost is explicit.
Inverse Unitary Access and Controlled Unitary Access: inverse and controlled capabilities are separately granted and charged.
Circuit-family and computation cost model and Quantum query complexity: query, gate, width, preparation, and classical costs are separate coordinates.
Proof
Expanding in [F1] places once, once, once, once, and the scalar minus once. Repeating times and adding the initial preparation gives good phases, zero-input phases, inverse calls, and forward calls.
Since is unitary and , conjugation gives with the signs of [F2]. Implementing this -sign reflection includes its two access calls and zero-state phase; it is not added again as a separate free call. By [F2]–[F4], any separately supplied reflection or controlled-access primitive replaces only the operations its interface explicitly covers, with the specified sign retained under control.
