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 and . Let be the target Hermitian contraction and let be the contraction compressed from the supplied block encoding, with . For each , let be its QSVT degree, let bound on , and let bound the operator-norm deviation of its implemented QSVT block from the ideal singular-value transform . This bound includes any polynomial error in numerical QSP phase generation, finite phase compilation, and signal-call implementation. Let bound the projected-block deviation of the implemented LCU circuit from its exact LCU construction on those component unitaries. Then , so this is a valid -block encoding, and its returned block satisfies If each phase list realizes its target exactly and the phase, signal-call, and LCU implementations are exact, the bounds may all be taken to be zero. The scale is the supplied sum of component scales, not an asserted optimal normalization.
The component uses exactly 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 , 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.
QSVT implementation of a bounded matrix function: omitted components have certified ; the active decomposition is , with , approximates , and LCU coefficients are with normalization .
Uniform polynomial approximation transfers to a Hermitian matrix: a scalar error bound on gives the same operator-norm bound for the corresponding finite spectral-calculus matrices.
Operator perturbation bound for QSVT: for contractions within operator distance , a degree- QSVT transform changes by at most .
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.
LCU projected-block correctness: exact LCU compression is the normalized weighted sum of component compressions.
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 .

QSVT signal and reflection query counts: a degree- sequence uses signal calls and the stated separate reflection, controlled-call, and phase-operation counts.
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
On a Hermitian input , each active parity singular-value transform in [F4] equals ordinary polynomial functional calculus. Indeed, for an eigenvector with eigenvalue , choose its left and right singular vectors equal, so its transform coefficient is . For , choose singular value and left vector the negative of the right vector; the coefficient is when is odd, while for even parity it is . At , an odd polynomial vanishes and the even transform assigns on the kernel. The spectral resolution [F7] and basis-independence in [F4] make these equalities independent of choices within degenerate eigenspaces. Also [F1] gives on ; apply [F2] to the zero polynomial and to obtain .
By [F2], , since and the scalar bound holds on its spectrum. By [F3]–[F4], replacing the exact signal block by changes the ideal transform by at most ; step 1.1 identifies the transform at with . The implemented component adds at most by its definition, including numerical phase and signal implementation errors. For any unit vector , 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 gives , where is its actual top-left block.
The exact LCU block for these is by [F5]; its actual circuit differs from that block by at most . The decomposition in [F1] gives on the spectrum. For each unit vector , 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 gives the displayed operator-norm bound after multiplying each component bound by .
The exact signal-call count for component is by [F8]; a SELECT branch invokes its designated component sequence, so its selected-component branch has at most 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.
