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.
Finite-mode implementability does not supply an infinite-mode limit
Statement refuted
Assume the Axiom of Choice. Fix a positive real action scale , a real squeeze parameter , and a finite integer . For a normalized vector in , define its mean total number by the quadratic form . Define the one-mode dilation on by The assertion refuted is that applying this dilation independently to vacuum modes gives mean total number bounded uniformly over finite and vacuum overlap bounded away from zero uniformly over those .
In fact, the resulting finite-mode unitary exists, its mean total number is and the magnitude of its overlap with the -mode vacuum is These exact finite- calculations exhibit quantities that are not uniform in mode number. They do not prove an infinite-mode non-implementability theorem and do not assign a limiting density operator or measurement.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: The Axiom of Choice, a positive action scale , a nonzero real squeeze parameter , and a finite integer .
AC supplies the Countable Choice and finite-representation hypotheses of the cited suppliers (The Axiom of Choice). The action scale is positive, , the squeeze is fixed with , and the mode count is a finite integer .
For , , the finite-mode Bogoliubov theorem supplies an implementer on every fixed finite product of modes (Finite Bogoliubov implementability).
The finite-mode Bogoliubov theorem supplies a unitary on every fixed finite number of modes; it asserts nothing about an infinite collection (Finite Bogoliubov implementability).
In Schrödinger coordinates, , , and ; the vacuum is the normalized ground Hermite function (Finite-mode quadratures and symplectic data, Finite-mode Fock to Schrödinger identification).
For and , by scaling the imported -frequency Gaussian transform; finite-interval integration by parts and exponential domination justify the Gaussian second moment (Euclidean Gaussian transform with the 2π normalization, Complex integration by parts on intervals and decaying lines, The exponential dominates every fixed nonnegative integer power at ).
In every finite dimension , Lebesgue substitution applies to the dilation and every integrand; in particular this covers in one mode, , and the -coordinate product dilation (A C^1 diffeomorphism satisfies the change-of-variables formula for L^1 functions).
Counterexample
Apply [F5] to and to get and is its inverse, so is unitary. The chain rule for and gives . The scalar pair obeys and . For the -mode product take and ; the finite Bogoliubov result [F1] supplies an implementer for these coefficients. Write . Then By [F4] with , . On , integration by parts gives The boundary term tends to zero by [F4], so . The substitution in [F5] gives Consequently By [F3], the -mode Fock–Schrödinger unitary sends its vacuum to . On define The change-of-variables formula [F5] in gives , so this is unitary. It is the product of the one-mode dilations, and the coordinatewise chain rule gives for each . The finite Bogoliubov statement [F1] also supplies an implementer for this coefficient pair. Put under the same identification; its th number expectation is the one-mode value already computed above. Each factor is a Schwartz Gaussian, so the product is in every . By the explicitly defined total-number form, the finite sum therefore gives The product unitary exists because it is the tensor product of finitely many copies of this unitary. The same coefficient pair is covered by the finite Bogoliubov statement [F2]; no infinite product is taken.
In Schrödinger coordinates, and . Set . By [F4] with , Hence Since and are real and positive here, this is also the overlap magnitude; the formula holds for every real . Product inner products factor over the modes, yielding For , , so this magnitude tends to zero as . Together with step 1.1 this proves only the stated finite- divergence and overlap limit. Finite-dimensional implementation does not itself provide an infinite-mode implementer, and this example does not prove that none exists.
