Ordered Root Coordinates

Abstract

Ordered roots describe the exact angular incompatibility interval.

Definition 1.1 (Qubit parameter body).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.V (✓ std3).

Citation. Lin Zhang; Hua Xiang; Xiao Li-Jost; Shao-Ming Fei (2019). Incompatibility probability of random quantum measurements. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.100.062139. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.12321.

Commentary.

Section III, p. 3, uses V = {(x₀, x) ∈ R⁴ : |x₀| + |x| ≤ 1}. The vector carrier is EuclideanSpace R (Fin 3); the first component is the bias.

Definition 1.2 (Yu function).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.hYu (✓ std3).

Commentary.

Yu, Liu, Li and Oh, Eq. (5), p. 2, and Zhang et al., Appendix C, use squares on 1 ± x under the square roots.

Definition 1.3 (Incompatible measurement pairs).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.NJM (✓ std3).

Citation. Lin Zhang; Hua Xiang; Xiao Li-Jost; Shao-Ming Fei (2019). Incompatibility probability of random quantum measurements. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.100.062139. URL: https://arxiv.org/abs/1912.12321.

Commentary.

Section III.C, p. 5: “can be identified as the set that Eq. (4) is violated.” Both points belong to V, and the strict inequality is the violation of the joint-measurability criterion.

Definition 1.4 (Incompatibility probability).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.incompProb (✓ std3).

Commentary.

Section III.C, p. 5, defines the probability as the incompatible volume divided by the volume of the full parameter body V × V. All volumes are product Lebesgue volumes.

Definition 1.5 (One-quarter conjecture).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.claim (✓ std3).

Commentary.

Section III.C, PDF p. 5: We conjecture that the incompatibility probability of a pair of random qubit measurements and , generated by (a₀, 𝒂) and (b₀, 𝒃) in Eq. (4), is given by 𝐏𝐫[Θᴺᴶᴹ₂,₂] = . Here claim says that the real-valued probability equals one quarter.

Definition 1.6 (Positive biases).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.positiveSector (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Both bias coordinates are strictly positive.

Theorem 1.7 (Body volume).

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

Commentary.

Section III, p. 3, gives the volume of V as 2π/3.

Theorem 1.8 (Four equal sectors).

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

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Negating either measurement preserves the criterion; zero bias slices have zero volume.

Theorem 1.9 (Null body boundary).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The boundary |x| + norm(a) = 1 has zero volume.

Commentary.

The subset with zero vector has zero volume.

Definition 1.11 (Bias coordinate).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.xCoord (✓ std3).

Commentary.

The bias coordinate is sqrt(u) times sqrt(v).

Definition 1.12 (Radius coordinate).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Measurement/OrderedRootCoordinates.rCoord (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The radius is sqrt(1-u) times sqrt(1-v).

Theorem 1.13 (Criterion coordinates).

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

Commentary.

For ordered roots, the squared Yu function is u and the squared bias divided by u is v.

Theorem 1.14 (Exact angular interval volume).

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

Commentary.

Only 1-u-U > 0 contributes. In that region the incompatible cosine interval lies entirely in [-1,1].

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The two coordinates are the bias and radius.

Commentary.

The bias and radius are positive and their sum is less than one.

Source. Repository-derived.

The strict root inequalities define a measurable set.

Commentary.

The absolute Jacobian is (u-v)/(4 xCoord(u,v) rCoord(u,v)). The identity holds for nonnegative extended-real integrands.
