7 Exact reset with its correlations retained

The smooth copy gate does not return an exact factor scratch. The next inverse baker nevertheless needs that quantum factor. A new reset mode, already present in (5.1), closes this compatibility requirement. Its actual population need not be fresh or conditionally independent.

Proposition 7.1 (A positive arbitrary-input wave reset with C5C^5 joins)

For 0≤τ≤2π0\leq\tau\leq2\pi put

b(τ)=1−αsin⁡8(τ/2),ν2=b−4−b′′/b, b(\tau)=1-\alpha\sin^8(\tau/2),\qquad \nu^2=b^{-4}-b''/b , (7.1)

where α∈(0,1/2)\alpha\in(0,1/2) is the unique solution

12π∫02π[1−αsin⁡8(τ/2)]−2 dτ=32. \frac1{2\pi}\int_0^{2\pi} [1-\alpha\sin^8(\tau/2)]^{-2}\,d\tau=\frac32 . (7.2)

The scalar two-coordinate Hamiltonian

HR=−∂x2−∂r2+(x2+r2)/4+ν2−18(x−r)2 H_R=-\partial_x^2-\partial_r^2+ (x^2+r^2)/4+\frac{\nu^2-1}{8}(x-r)^2 (7.3)

has a nonnegative coupling, zero endpoint coupling, and a C5C^5 joining profile. Its coefficient satisfies 1≤ν2≤181\leq\nu^2\leq18. Its complete propagator is

UR(2π)=−i SWAPxr. U_R(2\pi)=-i\,\mathrm{SWAP}_{xr}. (7.4)

In particular, for every normalized, possibly entangled Hilbert-valued scratch wave,

Ψ(x,rest)φ(r)⟼−iφ(x)Ψ(r,rest). \Psi(x,\mathrm{rest})\varphi(r) \longmapsto -i\varphi(x)\Psi(r,\mathrm{rest}).

Every old scratch correlation is retained in rr.

Proof

Expanding the positive integrand in (7.2) gives

R(α)=∑k=0∞(k+1)αk(8k4k)28k. R(\alpha)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty (k+1)\alpha^k\frac{\binom{8k}{4k}}{2^{8k}}. (7.5)

It is continuous and strictly increasing on [0,1/2][0,1/2]. At zero it is 11. At 1/21/2 its first four terms alone exceed 3/23/2 by 11015/838860811015/8388608. This proves existence and uniqueness. Since every sine moment is at most one, the remainder after k=Nk=N is bounded by

αN+1[(N+2)−(N+1)α](1−α)2. \frac{\alpha^{N+1}[(N+2)-(N+1)\alpha]}{(1-\alpha)^2}. (7.6)

Positive rational sums and bisection therefore locate the exact coefficient to any required finite accuracy. The theorem uses the exact root; measured calibration errors are a separate comparison.

For positivity write u=sin⁡2(τ/2)u=\sin^2(\tau/2), so (sin⁡8(τ/2))′′=2u3(7−8u)(\sin^8(\tau/2))''=2u^3(7-8u). If b′′≤0b''\leq0, then ν2≥1\nu^2\geq1 immediately. Otherwise u>7/8u>7/8, b′′≤2αb''\leq2\alpha, and

b−3−b=1−b4b3≥4(1−b)=4αu4>24011024α>2α≥b′′. b^{-3}-b=\frac{1-b^4}{b^3} \geq4(1-b)=4\alpha u^4 >\frac{2401}{1024}\alpha>2\alpha\geq b''.

This again gives ν2≥1\nu^2\geq1. Also b≥1/2b\geq1/2 and ∣b′′∣≤1|b''|\leq1, so ν2≤16+2=18\nu^2\leq16+2=18. The function 1−b1-b vanishes to order eight at both endpoints, so ν2−1\nu^2-1 vanishes to order six. Static zero extensions give the asserted C5C^5 interaction.

In normal coordinates q±=(x±r)/2q_\pm=(x\pm r)/\sqrt2, the plus mode has frequency 11, while the minus mode has frequency ν\nu. The exact Ermakov relation is b′′+ν2b=b−3b''+\nu^2b=b^{-3}. Let θ′=b−2\theta'=b^{-2} and θ(0)=0\theta(0)=0. For an oscillator eigenfunction fkf_k, the minus-mode solution is

b−1/2exp⁡ ⁣(ib′4bq−2)fk(q−/b)exp⁡[−i(k+1/2)θ]. b^{-1/2}\exp\!\left(i\frac{b'}{4b}q_-^2\right) f_k(q_-/b)\exp[-i(k+1/2)\theta].

Direct substitution verifies this formula. At the endpoint b=1b=1, b′=0b'=0 and θ=3π\theta=3\pi, so the minus operator is ii times parity. The plus-mode duration 2π2\pi operator is −I-I. Relative parity exchanges xx and rr, proving (7.4) on the oscillator basis and hence on all L2L^2 by unitarity. Tensoring with any passive Hilbert space proves the entangled-input assertion.

□

This operator assertion is the exact quantum stock requirement. It is not an exchange of actual configurations. Proposition 10.1 supplies an explicit capped, finite-Fisher population for which the same wave reset has the identity actual endpoint map and preserves conditional bias. The inverse digit arithmetic in Proposition 5.1 is deliberately independent of such a freshness claim.
