Physical AD Conditional Copy

Abstract

The copied density is built from arbitrary conditional BC states over a classical AD pointer.

Let p_ad be any finite nonnegative distribution of total mass one, and tau_ad any DensityState on B tensor C. classicalADState reorders recordState p tau into ABCD. copyState reorders recordState p (tau tensor Tr_B tau) into ABCDE, with E using C’s finite carrier. Zero-weight blocks remain arbitrary. Conditional entanglement, singular states, and noncommuting C marginals are allowed.

Theorem 1.1 (The physical copy recovers the original state).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Information/ClassicalADCopy.copyState_discard (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The actual E partial trace of the ABCDE copy is exactly classicalADState p tau as a density state, not merely an entropy equality.

Theorem 1.2 (ADE matches ACD as an actual density).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Information/ClassicalADCopy.copy_ade_eq_relabel (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

An explicit coordinate equivalence sends the original ACD marginal to the copied ADE marginal. In particular S(E)=S(C), S(AE)=S(AC), S(DE)=S(CD), and S(ADE)=S(ACD); the smaller equalities are also proved from actual traces.

Theorem 1.3 (The total copy entropy).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Information/ClassicalADCopy.copy_entropy_total (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Orthogonal CQ record entropy and product entropy imply S(ABCDE)=S(ABCD)+S(ACD)-S(AD), without any assumption on those entropy values.

Theorem 1.4 (The actual conditional copy is Markov over AD).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Information/ClassicalADCopy.copy_zero_cmi (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The constructed state satisfies I(E:BC|AD)=0. This exact equality is consumed by the final theorem together with the eleven-SSA precursor.
