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 Pauli dimer spectrum and exact separability threshold

Statement

Use C from Pauli matrices and the two-qubit exchange operator, with singlet projection Ps=∣s⟩⟨s∣ and triplet projection Pt=I4−Ps, where s=(e0⊗e1−e1⊗e0)/2. For each dimensionless x≥0, define the finite two-qubit density matrix ρx:=e3xPs+e−xPte3x+3e−x. Then ρx is separable exactly when x≤(log⁡3)/4, and it is entangled exactly when x>(log⁡3)/4. In particular, the equality state at x=(log⁡3)/4 is separable.

Facts & Assumptions

Given: The Pauli matrices and exchange operator, the singlet/triplet eigenspaces, the finite density and separability definitions, and the dimensionless parameter x≥0.

[F1]

Spectrum of the two-qubit Pauli exchange matrix and Pauli matrices and the two-qubit exchange operator: the singlet s is a unit vector, the three triplets form an orthonormal basis of s⊥, and C has eigenvalue −3 on s and eigenvalue 1 on that triplet space. The rank-one convention gives Psx=⟨x,s⟩s, so Ps is the orthogonal projection onto Cs and Pt=I4−Ps is the orthogonal projection onto the triplet space; their ranks are one and three.

[F2]

Finite two-qubit density matrices and separability: a density matrix is Hermitian, positive semidefinite, and has trace one.

[F3]

Bloch-ball representation of a qubit density matrix: the Bloch-coordinate matrix with vector a=0 is the positive trace-one matrix I2/2.

[F4]

Finite two-qubit density matrices and separability: a separable two-qubit density matrix is a finite convex combination of product qubit density matrices.

[F5]

Pauli exchange expectation bound for separable states: every separable two-qubit density matrix has tr⁡(ρC)≥−1.

[F6]

Explicit separable state at the Pauli dimer boundary: ρ∗=14(I4−C/3) is separable.

[F7]

The natural logarithm as the inverse of the exponential function, The real exponential function and the number e by a power series, and Order, continuity, range, and the product, quotient, and reciprocal laws for the natural logarithm: log⁡ is the inverse of the strictly increasing real exponential on positive reals, so e4x>3 is equivalent to x>(log⁡3)/4.

Proof

1.1givenF1F2algebra

The projections Ps,Pt are orthogonal and have ranks one and three by [F1]. Their weighted sum in the definition of ρx is therefore positive, and its trace is e3x+3e−x>0; division normalizes its trace to one. By [F2] this is a two-qubit density matrix. Its singlet probability is ps=e3x/(e3x+3e−x)=e4x/(e4x+3).

2.1givenF1F7step 1.1algebra

Using the two eigenvalues in [F1], tr⁡(ρxC)=−3ps+(1−ps)=1−4ps=3(1−e4x)/(e4x+3)=:c. For x≥0, e4x≥1, hence −3≤c≤0, and c<−1 exactly when e4x>3, equivalently x>(log⁡3)/4 by [F7].

3.1givenF5step 2.1

If x>(log⁡3)/4, step 2.1 gives tr⁡(ρxC)=c<−1. This contradicts the lower bound [F5] satisfied by every separable state, so ρx is entangled.

4.1givenF1F3F4F6step 2.1algebra∎

If 0≤x≤(log⁡3)/4, step 2.1 gives −1≤c≤0. The spectral projections in [F1] give ρx=14(I4+(c/3)C); substituting [F6] yields ρx=(−c)ρ∗+(1+c)I4/4. Both coefficients are nonnegative and sum to one; [F3] makes I2/2 a qubit density matrix, so I4/4=(I2/2)⊗(I2/2) is a product density matrix. Thus [F4] and [F6] make ρx separable, including at equality c=−1.
