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.

Matrix-function transformation error and resource bound

Statement

Use QSVT implementation of a bounded matrix function on a nonzero finite-dimensional space, with active set J and B=∑j∈Jγj>0. Let A=H/α be the target Hermitian contraction and let A~ be the contraction compressed from the supplied block encoding, with ∥A~−A∥≤εBE. For each j∈J, let dj be its QSVT degree, let τj bound ∣pj(x)−gj(αx)/γj∣ on σ(A), and let κj bound the operator-norm deviation of its implemented QSVT block from the ideal singular-value transform pjSV(A~). This bound includes any polynomial error in numerical QSP phase generation, finite phase compilation, and signal-call implementation. Let κLCU bound the projected-block deviation of the implemented LCU circuit from its exact LCU construction on those component unitaries. Then B≥∥f(H)∥, so this is a valid B-block encoding, and its returned block W00 satisfies ∥W00−f(H)B∥≤1B∑j∈Jγj(τj+4djεBE+κj)+κLCU. If each phase list realizes its target pj exactly and the phase, signal-call, and LCU implementations are exact, the κ bounds may all be taken to be zero. The scale B is the supplied sum of component scales, not an asserted optimal normalization.

The component j∈J uses exactly dj signal calls in its QSVT sequence, with the forward/inverse split and projector-reflection counts of QSVT signal and reflection query counts. Inside a single LCU SELECT call, the maximum selected-component branch length is max⁡j∈Jdj, while the implemented oracle-occurrence count is charged by the supplied SELECT circuit and may be the sum of separately controlled component counts; PREPARE, SELECT, inverse PREPARE, control logic, phase generation, compilation, ancillas, gates, and bit-time costs are separately charged according to their supplied implementations. No complexity bound for polynomial approximation or for exact-algebraic bit growth is implied.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The finite-dimensional Hermitian target, supplied scales and parity polynomials, exact or approximate block-encoding access, QSVT phase lists, and the implementation-error bounds stated above.

[F1]

QSVT implementation of a bounded matrix function: omitted components have certified gj=0; the active decomposition is fˉ=∑j∈Jcjgj, with ∣gj∣≤γj, pj approximates gj(αx)/γj, and LCU coefficients are cjγj with normalization B.

[F2]

Uniform polynomial approximation transfers to a Hermitian matrix: a scalar error bound on σ(A) gives the same operator-norm bound for the corresponding finite spectral-calculus matrices.

[F3]

Operator perturbation bound for QSVT: for contractions within operator distance εBE, a degree-dj QSVT transform changes by at most 4djεBE.

[F4]

QSVT action on singular subspaces and Odd and even singular-value transforms: the ideal phase sequence has the prescribed parity singular-value transform on each singular subspace, including the kernel.

[F5]

LCU projected-block correctness: exact LCU compression is the normalized weighted sum of component compressions.

[F6]

Correctness of QSP phase synthesis: OP1 phase synthesis returns the specified exact scalar polynomial or a numerically certified approximation for each supplied bounded parity target; numerical deviation is included in κj.

[F8]

QSVT signal and reflection query counts: a degree-dj sequence uses dj signal calls and the stated separate reflection, controlled-call, and phase-operation counts.

[F9]

The inner-product norm is definite, homogeneous, and satisfies the triangle inequality and The operator norm is zero on the zero domain and otherwise is max_{||v||=1} ||Tv||: vector and operator action obey the triangle inequality and the operator norm is the supremum on unit vectors.

Proof

1.1F1F2F4F7givenalgebra

On a Hermitian input A, each active parity singular-value transform in [F4] equals ordinary polynomial functional calculus. Indeed, for an eigenvector with eigenvalue x>0, choose its left and right singular vectors equal, so its transform coefficient is pj(x). For x<0, choose singular value ∣x∣ and left vector the negative of the right vector; the coefficient is −pj(∣x∣)=pj(x) when pj is odd, while for even parity it is pj(∣x∣)=pj(x). At x=0, an odd polynomial vanishes and the even transform assigns pj(0) on the kernel. The spectral resolution [F7] and basis-independence in [F4] make these equalities independent of choices within degenerate eigenspaces. Also [F1] gives ∣f(λ)∣≤∑j∈Jγj=B on σ(H); apply [F2] to the zero polynomial and f to obtain ∥f(H)∥≤B.

2.1F2F3F4F6F7F9step 1.1given

By [F2], ∥pj(A)−gj(H)/γj∥≤τj, since A=H/α and the scalar bound holds on its spectrum. By [F3]–[F4], replacing the exact signal block A by A~ changes the ideal transform pjSV by at most 4djεBE; step 1.1 identifies the transform at A with pj(A). The implemented component adds at most κj by its definition, including numerical phase and signal implementation errors. For any unit vector v, the vector triangle inequality in [F9] bounds the action of the total difference by the sum of these three operator bounds; taking the supremum over unit v gives ∥Yj−gj(H)/γj∥≤τj+4djεBE+κj, where Yj is its actual top-left block.

3.1F1F5F9step 2.1givenalgebra

The exact LCU block for these Yj is B−1∑j∈JcjγjYj by [F5]; its actual circuit differs from that block by at most κLCU. The decomposition in [F1] gives f(H)=∑j∈Jcjgj(H) on the spectrum. For each unit vector v, apply the vector triangle inequality [F9] to the weighted sum of component errors from step 2.1 and the LCU implementation error; taking the supremum over v gives the displayed operator-norm bound after multiplying each component bound by γj/B.

4.1F1F6F8givenalgebra∎

The exact signal-call count for component j∈J is dj by [F8]; a SELECT branch invokes its designated component sequence, so its selected-component branch has at most max⁡j∈Jdj signal calls. The implemented SELECT circuit may contain the sum of separately controlled component occurrences; its actual oracle-occurrence count remains separately charged. The remaining resource coordinates are the declared preparation, inverse, control, coefficient, phase, reflection, compilation, and output costs in [F1], [F6], and [F8]; neither a degree count nor an exact phase list supplies those costs automatically.
