FactorWidthTwoCone

Abstract

Finite support cones and factor-width-two trace duality.

Definition 1.1 (IsKSparse).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.IsKSparse (✓ std3).

Citation. Nathaniel Johnston; Shirin Moein; Rajesh Pereira; Sarah Plosker (2022). Absolutely k-incoherent quantum states and spectral inequalities for factor width of a matrix. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.052417. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05110v2.

Commentary.

Section 2.1, page 3: “In the special case when each vⱼ can be chosen to have at most k non-zero entries (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n), ρ is called k-incoherent”. The finite support counts the nonzero coordinates of v.

Definition 1.2 (IsKIncoherentSum).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.IsKIncoherentSum (✓ std3).

Citation. Nathaniel Johnston; Shirin Moein; Rajesh Pereira; Sarah Plosker (2022). Absolutely k-incoherent quantum states and spectral inequalities for factor width of a matrix. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.052417. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05110v2.

Commentary.

Section 2.1, page 3: “every mixed state ρ ∈ Mₙ⁺ can be written in the form ρ = Σⱼ vⱼvⱼ* for some {vⱼ} ⊆ ℂⁿ. In the special case when each vⱼ can be chosen to have at most k non-zero entries (where 1 ≤ k ≤ n), ρ is called k-incoherent”. Here j ranges over Fin m, and no normalization is imposed on the individual vectors.

Definition 1.3 (IsLocally2).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.IsLocally2 (✓ std3).

Citation. Nathaniel Johnston; Shirin Moein; Rajesh Pereira; Sarah Plosker (2022). Absolutely k-incoherent quantum states and spectral inequalities for factor width of a matrix. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.052417. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05110v2.

Commentary.

Definition 1(b), page 4: “⟨v|X|v⟩ ≥ 0 for all |v⟩ ∈ ℂⁿ with at most k non-zero entries; or”. Here k = 2; s ranges over coordinate subsets with cardinality at most two, and x vanishes outside s.

Theorem 1.4 (fw2 duality).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.fw2_duality (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Acknowledgement. Nathaniel Johnston; Shirin Moein; Rajesh Pereira; Sarah Plosker (2022). Absolutely k-incoherent quantum states and spectral inequalities for factor width of a matrix. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevA.106.052417. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/2205.05110v2.

Commentary.

Nonnegative trace pairing against all locally positive matrices implies a finite sum of outer products of two-sparse vectors. Closedness of the finite family of support cones gives the separating Hermitian matrix.

Theorem 1.5 (local2 diagonal).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.local2_diagonal (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Every diagonal entry of a locally positive matrix is nonnegative.

Theorem 1.6 (local2 minor).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/FactorWidthTwoCone.local2_minor (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Each two-coordinate principal submatrix is positive semidefinite, so its determinant bounds its off-diagonal entry.

Theorem 1.7 (local2 smul).

Commentary.

Multiplication by a nonnegative real scalar preserves local positivity.

Commentary.

The real trace of a locally positive matrix is nonnegative.

Commentary.

A locally positive matrix with zero real trace vanishes.
