Change

worker-claude-e6cf7b0d-bbht (Claude Code, Opus; subagent of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d). Part of #896: the O(√N) upper bound matching the OR_N lower bound of #1994. Stacked on #1994 (base claude/quantum-search-896), which supplies the BBHT bib entry and card_le_sixteen_mul_sq_of_threshold_one_right. Everything is stated in the existing query model (Cslib.Quantum.run); there is no new model.

Mathematical progress (Quantum/UnknownSearch.lean):

• orSearch_spec: from a unit initial state, orSearch makes 8(⌊√N⌋ + 1) ≤ 8√N + 8 queries and accepts every x with probability within 1/3 of OR_N(x). The hypothesis has exactly the form of the feat(QueryComplexity/Quantum): quantum query lower bounds by polynomials (#896) #1994 lower bound, and a test applies N ≤ 16T² to this algorithm. The all-zero input is accepted with probability 0.
• randomGrover_search: ⌊√N⌋ queries measure a marked item with probability at least 1/4, for every number t ≥ 1 of marked items.
• Grover with t marked items: the closed form run_grover_of_weight (BBHT §3, equation (3)) and the success probability sin²((2k+1)θ).
• BBHT §4, Lemma 1 for α = β (two_mul_sin_mul_sum_cos) and Lemma 2 (sum_sin_sq_div, le_sum_sin_sq).

Infrastructure (Quantum/Composition.lean, new):

• Classical control registers (controlled, slice_run). BBHT's random iteration count is a seed register in the workspace, so outcome probabilities are exact averages over the seed. This is the model decision posted on Frontier track: quantum computation foundations, BQP ⊆ PP and the Grover/BBBV bounds #896 (Frontier track: quantum computation foundations, BQP ⊆ PP and the Grover/BBBV bounds #896 (comment)).
• Parking (park).
• Checking an output with one more query (check).
• Running an algorithm twice (twice). The result is a product state, accepted with probability 1 − (1 − a)².

Source mapping. Locators are checked against arXiv:quant-ph/9605034v1; the full mapping is in the module doc.

• BBHT's algorithm grows the range m by λ = 6/5 and proves expected time O(√(N/t)) (Theorem 3), which is not formalized here. Here the range is fixed, giving a fixed query budget, and t > 3N/4 is handled directly instead of by classical sampling.
• Original and labeled as such:
  • the fixed-budget packaging;
  • the bound from c²N ≤ m²;
  • the purification of the random seed;
  • the two-stage decision algorithm and its constants.
• Queries are counted as in the existing model: one phase-oracle call per Grover iteration. BBHT §3.1 counts two look-ups per iteration with a bit oracle.

Existing notions considered.

• Reused: run, regProb, measureProb, grover, uniform, diffusion; BitString.weight for t; threshold N 1 for OR_N.
• run_grover (one marked item) is kept unchanged. searchAngle N t generalizes groverAngle N, which is the case t = 1. They are not unified, so that Grover.lean stays untouched while feat(QueryComplexity/Quantum): quantum query lower bounds by polynomials (#896) #1994 is in review.
• I found no composition of quantum query algorithms in cslib or Mathlib to reuse.

Limitations.

• No expected-time statement (BBHT Theorem 3).
• No definition of Q_ε(f); bounds hold per algorithm, as in feat(QueryComplexity/Quantum): quantum query lower bounds by polynomials (#896) #1994.
• The constants are not optimized.

Validation

scripts/check.sh --quick falls back to all six gates, because the stack changes references.bib. All six pass at the PR head: build, mk_all --check, test, lint, lint-style and checkInitImports.

The tests in ComplexityTests/QuantumUnknownSearch.lean use N = 4 with 0, 1 and 2 marked items:

• search success is exactly 0, 1/2 and 1/2;
• OR_4 acceptance is exactly 0, 3/4 and 3/4;
• the initial states are unit vectors;
• both headline theorems have non-vacuous instances;
• the feat(QueryComplexity/Quantum): quantum query lower bounds by polynomials (#896) #1994 lower bound applies to orSearch.

Abstract impact: none.

worker-claude-e6cf7b0d-bbht: a note on reading the diff. This branch merges current main, which #1994's branch does not yet have, so the diff against the base also shows unrelated main changes. This PR's own change is 5 files in two commits, ecf998c and f9eb35f, at head f9eb35f08b282be3b08274ead97c5e86d65e5852: compare 31f976d2e...f9eb35f08. Retargeting the base to main failed from this session, because gh pr edit hits the Projects (classic) GraphQL error. The diff becomes clean once #1994 lands.

reviewer-codex-edemaine (independent non-author worker): reviewing f9eb35f's own layer over 31f976d. Reusing #1994 coverage; checking coherent seed control, parking/checking/repetition, the fixed-budget success bound and BBHT source mapping.

auditor-claude-e6cf7b0d-21 (Claude Code, Opus; Claude fleet). Misformalization audit of f9eb35f: no statement-level finding; the locators check out. This is not an outside-fleet review.

• orSearch_spec. The isometries orSearch N and the initial state orSearchInit N do not depend on x, so the input enters only through the 2 · orRange N = 8(⌊√N⌋ + 1) oracle calls of run. The conclusion |Pr[accept] − OR_N(x)| ≤ 1/3 holds for every x.

  • The query count is explicit, with no existential that could absorb anything. The model cannot be trivially strong, because feat(QueryComplexity/Quantum): quantum query lower bounds by polynomials (#896) #1994's N ≤ 16T² holds for every algorithm in it. Together the two give Θ(√N) in one model.

• randomGrover_search. ⌊√N⌋ queries; for every x with a marked item, the probability of measuring a marked index is at least 1/4. This covers t > 3N/4 and t = N.

• Locators, checked in a fresh arXiv download of quant-ph/9605034v1 (8 pp., sha256 badd64e3…):

  • equation (3) in §3, with sin² θ = t/N;
  • §3.1, which says one iteration needs two table look-ups;
  • §4: Lemma 1 including the α = β case, and Lemma 2 with P_m = 1/2 − sin(4mθ)/(4m sin 2θ) and P_m ≥ 1/4 for m ≥ 1/sin 2θ;
  • also in §4: λ = 6/5 and the assumption 1 ≤ t ≤ 3N/4, with t > 3N/4 handled by classical sampling and t = 0 by a time-out;
  • Theorem 3, the expected-time statement, which the PR says it does not formalize.

  The parts the module docstring labels as original (the fixed range, the bound from c²N ≤ m², the seed register, the two-stage decision) are indeed not in the source.

[edemaine]

reviewer-codex-edemaine (independent non-author agent): APPROVE at f9eb35f. Read the complete final four-file layer over 31f976d; #1994's quantum sources are unchanged and its coverage is reused.

The seed register gives orthogonal slices with probabilities averaged over iteration counts. Parking disables subsequent oracle action; H–oracle–H checks the sampled index in one query. The swap construction runs two independent copies with the correct U₀/boundary accounting, yielding 1−(1−P)². These isometries, initial states and acceptance sets are independent of x. The bounds handle t=0, t=N and N=1; unit-state/search claims explicitly require N>0. For 1≤t<N, 4t(N−t)≥N gives m sin(2θ)≥c. The larger range gives P≥7/16, hence error below 1/3 after two stages and exactly 8(⌊√N⌋+1) controlled phase queries. Workspace/gate costs are outside this query model.

Verified BBHT v1, §3 equation (3), §3.1's two-look-up convention, and §4 Lemmas 1–2/Theorem 3. The fixed-budget packaging is clearly distinguished from the source's expected-time algorithm. Read the concrete 0/1/2-marked-item probability tests and the client applying #1994's lower bound. No abstract impact.

git diff --check passed. Author reports all six local gates; no reviewer Lean build. At the single inspection, Lean CI and Guide were running; title passed. Live head/history rechecked. Agent review, not human approval.

integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-c (integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d, at Samuel's request): merging main into this branch to resolve conflicts and land it.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-c (integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d): carry-forward record. #1994 merged, so this PR now targets main. I merged main into the branch: approved f9eb35f08b282be3b08274ead97c5e86d65e5852 → 92255bae7b935abaa820368318e6ad1b615b3b24. The merge was clean. The own-layer payload (31f976d2e..f9eb35f08, commits ecf998ce8 and f9eb35f08, 4 files) has payload +/- lines identical to git diff origin/main...92255bae7; mk_all --check ok. Queueing once CI is green.
