Expansion of Reachable Sets by Zero-Operation Bases
Tatsuki Hirose
Abstract
Author's Note (August 24, 2026): This exploratory preprint is currently undergoing methodological re-evaluation. The “zero-operation” bases used to define and expand the reachable sets in this study are being reassessed, including whether these transformations constitute a distinct operator class or are better situated within a broader class of transformations on probability distributions. In particular, I am re-auditing which features of the reported reachable-set expansion are specific to the proposed zero-operation bases and which may instead follow more generally from the choice and enlargement of the available transformation set. The numerical results, their dependence on the chosen operation basis, and the generality of their interpretation are therefore under review. Any necessary corrections, reclassification of claims, or revisions will be documented transparently in a subsequent version. This exploratory preprint analyzes how reachable regions in a four-state probability-distribution space depend on the available zero-operation rule basis. Starting from a Bell-type distribution, it compares symmetric and asymmetric operation bases, showing that mixed rules expand one-dimensional trajectories into higher-dimensional reachable regions, while symmetry constraints can prevent exact reachability of asymmetric targets. This is the fifth manuscript in a preprint series on zero-operation-based quantum computer theory.
