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.
QSVT robustness, approximation error, and resources
Statement
Let be a finite square or rectangular matrix with a declared isometric padding , and let satisfy . Let be the exact compressed PUE block of the supplied input unitary and assume
Let be the degree- parity polynomial of an admissible QSVT phase sequence, and let have the same parity. Put , so zero is included even when the two matrix dimensions differ. If , and the implemented phase operation at slot is a unitary within operator-norm error of its ideal operation, then the implemented compressed block satisfies
The exact sequence uses calls alternating between and , projector-phase operations, and the reflection and one-qubit resources in QSVT signal and reflection query counts. A real-polynomial control wrapper has its separately listed controlled gates. Matrix-data access, block-encoding construction, inverse and controlled access, phase-list generation, finite-gate compilation, and classical bit costs are charged through their declared interfaces; no cost follows from a bare matrix.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: A normalized block encoding, its finite PUE compression, an admissible degree- phase sequence, a uniform scalar approximation bound, and unitary phase implementations with the stated errors.
Finite block encoding: an block encoding has normalized compression within of the declared padded target divided by , with .
Odd and even singular-value transforms: odd and even singular-value transforms are defined by their SVD coefficients, including the even kernel term.
Operator perturbation bound for QSVT: for contractions , .
QSVT signal and reflection query counts: the exact sequence has signal calls, phase slots, and the corresponding right/left reflection counts.
Circuit-family and computation cost model: oracle queries, controlled calls, gates, depth, width, ancillas, classical generation, and precision are separate cost coordinates.
The operator norm is zero on the zero domain and otherwise is max_{||v||=1} ||Tv||: the operator norm is the maximum action on unit vectors.
The inner-product norm is definite, homogeneous, and satisfies the triangle inequality: the vector norm satisfies the triangle inequality.
Every linear map between finite-dimensional real or complex inner product spaces admits a singular value decomposition: an SVD supplies complete orthonormal right and left singular bases and the positive-term formula.
The operator norm is submultiplicative and satisfies ||T^*T|| = ||T||^2: compatible finite-dimensional maps satisfy .
QSVT action on singular subspaces: the ideal QSVT sequence for block compresses to .
Projected-unitary encoding and singular vectors: a projected-unitary compression is a contraction.
Linear isometries, and orthogonal or unitary operators on finite-dimensional inner product spaces: each isometric padding map preserves vector norms.
Adjoints satisfy , , , and : adjoints reverse products and preserve sums.
The orthogonal projection is the -component in : a vector and its projection-complement components are orthogonal.
Pythagoras and finite orthogonal sums: orthogonal components have squared norms that add.
Proof
Let be the declared isometric padding maps in [F1], so and . Put . By [L3]–[L4], ; [L5] makes it an orthogonal projection, and [L6] gives . The adjoint identity [L3] then yields . Since both padding maps preserve norms by [L2], [F9] gives ; conversely for every , so taking maxima over unit vectors gives equality. Thus is a contraction. The PUE compression is a contraction by [L1], and [F1] gives . Applying [F3] gives .
Choose the SVD bases of from [F8]. For odd parity, the difference sends each right singular vector to and annihilates . Orthonormality gives, for , . For even parity the same bound follows by diagonal action on the right singular basis, including on the kernel. Taking the maximum over unit vectors by [F6] yields .
Replace the ideal phase operations one slot at a time by their implemented unitaries. The product difference is a sum of terms, each containing one phase difference and otherwise unitary factors. By [F9], multiplying by those unitary factors preserves or bounds the operator norm by their norm ; [F7] and [F6] then give . Compression by the input and output projections is contractive, so the same upper bound holds for the compressed blocks. The exact ideal compressed block is by [F10].
The implemented block differs from by the sum of its phase-implementation, input-block, and scalar-approximation differences. Applying the triangle inequality to steps 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3 yields . The resource statement follows from [F4]–[F5]; each absent access, synthesis, data-loading, or compilation operation remains a separate supplied cost.
