Within flagged unitary–replacer channels, optimized recovered entanglement fidelity is spectrally incomplete: it fixes weighted transparency but not the hidden replacer spectrum or conditional Choi entropy. For a resolved positive-probability sector with known transparency 0 ≤ a < 1, we prove a family-specific noncommutative triangular transfer from conditional Choi moments M₂,...,M_d to hidden-spectrum power sums. Recursive inversion, Newton–Girard identities, and a rank-one step recover the unordered replacer and conditional Choi spectra, including multiplicities and zero eigenvalues. The order-d threshold is sharp within the consecutive sector-resolved hierarchy: every truncation below d fails local injectivity on positive simple-spectrum chambers. At fixed dimension and flag distribution, we also determine the complete homogeneous and heterogeneous fixed-fidelity Choi-entropy intervals, including lower/equality structure, interval filling, and heterogeneous optimizer geometry, while retaining the established quantum-Fano upper envelope. With transparency unknown, the consecutive map (a, λ) ↦ (M₂,...,M_{d+1}) is generically locally invertible on the positive ordered simple-spectrum interior for every d ≥ 2. Global uniqueness holds in d = 2, 3; for the specific map F₄ = (M₂, M₃, M₄, M₅), d = 4 exhibits an exact open two-sheet ambiguity with exactly two ordered physical inverse branches, while d ≥ 5 remains unresolved. At a = 1, the moments lose all replacer-spectrum information. The results are family-specific and assume sector-resolved access; they do not imply universal channel reconstruction, tomography, or resource optimality.

A finite-dimensional physical processor cannot exactly program a continuous family of distinct unitary channels. We show that this obstruction becomes quantitative when the target channel is stored in a normalized Choi state and its output observables are reconstructed by sampling physical channels and classically post-processing their measurement outcomes. For arbitrary d-dimensional channels, we construct a target-independent exact reconstruction protocol and prove the optimal one-copy sampling overhead, which grows quadratically with system dimension. We further prove the sharp fixed-d law that the excess overhead vanishes inversely with the number of identical Choi programs. The upper bound combines deterministic port-based teleportation with a quasi-decomposition that corrects its depolarizing distortion. The converse maps any low-overhead reconstruction protocol to a physical learner of unknown unitaries and uses local quantum estimation to recover the same leading coefficient. These results recast the universal no-programming obstruction as a quantitative trade-off between quantum program memory and classical sampling, with a leading cost that reflects the locally learnable unitary degrees of freedom.
A quantum instrument is not determined by its induced positive-operator-valued measure (POVM) and nonselective channel, yet the global control consequences of this residual branch structure remain incompletely characterized. We study the nondegenerate fiber of instruments with both marginals fixed. The subgroup of outcome permutations preserving the effect tuple acts as the deck group of the ordered outcome-frame covering, and closed loops define a conjugacy-class-valued monodromy representation. Nontrivial monodromy obstructs continuous global branch labeling based only on local process continuity. We construct an explicit cyclic family with a uniform m-outcome POVM and a fixed completely dephasing channel, derive robust overlap-based reconstruction and a conservative finite-sample guarantee, and certify entangled conditional Choi states although the nonselective channel is entanglement breaking. For a noisy cyclic family, we prove an exact minimax separation in conditional feedback: recovery rules restricted to the two marginals and the reported local outcome have optimal worst-sector entanglement fidelity 1/m, whereas an outcome-frame-aware controller attains 1-lambda+lambda/m. The exact minimax value of the missing outcome-frame information is therefore (1-lambda)(1-1/m). The results remain entirely within standard finite-dimensional quantum mechanics and are positioned as an instrument-level, permutation-valued specialization of established Kraus-frame/channel holonomy with a distinct global-labeling and feedback limitation.
Reduced descriptions of open quantum systems are intrinsically non-identifying: many different bath Hamiltonians, initial bath states, dilations, and microscopic couplings may generate the same reduced channel on the accessible system. This paper introduces a finite-dimensional certification protocol for this non-identifiability using the normalized Choi response object of a reduced channel. For a family of completely positive trace-preserving maps (\Phi_t), we set (B(t)=J(\Phi_t)/d_S) and study the thresholded Choi-support layer determined by (P_\tau(B)), its effective rank (r_\tau(B)), and the threshold margin (g_\tau(B)). A deterministic tolerance (\eta) defines the certification rule: if (g_\tau(B)>\eta), the threshold-rank layer is stable under operator-norm perturbations of radius (\eta); if (g_\tau(B)\le\eta), the continuation status is MARGIN_LOW, and a pathwise continuation of the previous support certificate must record CERTIFICATE_RESET before proceeding. The protocol is demonstrated on an exactly solvable two-spin central-spin dephasing model. In the selected parameter regime, the coarse Markovian envelope distance is nearly zero at the very time when the Choi threshold-support certificate fails. Thus small coarse model discrepancy does not imply stable thresholded support certification. The construction does not reconstruct the physical bath, identify a true hidden environment, equate Choi rank with physical bath dimension, or interpret certificate reset as a physical event. It provides a deterministic finite-dimensional diagnostic for reduced-channel data under declared thresholds and tolerances.https://github.com/AIDevelopersMonster/boundary-compensationRelation: isSupplementedBy / isSupplementTo, depending on Zenodo field wording
Recovery from a coherent rotation with an unobserved angle depends on both the encoding and what calibration reveals about the noise. We determine their combined limit for a known finite-dimensional generator and one final recovery. Two polynomial projections organize the answer. A physical Krylov chain separates correctable error amplitudes from their first state-dependent distortion; projection onto lower-angle powers identifies the part that a coherent decoder can cancel. Under explicit rank and moment conditions, their combination gives the exact leading optimal entanglement infidelity at weak noise and a recovery attaining it for any finite logical dimension. The optimal worst-input error lies between one and d times that infidelity at leading order, for logical dimension d. When the angle distribution is unknown, we optimize one decoder for every distribution compatible with the calibration. When spectral and calibration frequencies are integer multiples of a common frequency, moment positivity turns this into an exact finite optimization. Small measured means can still allow rare finite rotations. If the sole calibration datum is βr=E[sin2r(θ/2)], with θ the wrapped rotation phase at that common frequency, the optimal worst-prior infidelity is O(βr) exactly when generator powers through degree r−1 are correctable. When the first uncorrectable power has degree m<r, the optimal loss scales as βrm/r, with a sharp coefficient fixed by a universal moment problem. In a loss-free four-photon memory, population measurements at two calibration durations retain the fully informed quartic error coefficient for a fixed symmetric narrow-noise family with positive variance and finite fourth moment; a single duration permits loss quadratic in the noise width.
This preprint develops the theory of spectral closure systems: an operator-algebraic framework for local access to a global compatibility object through typed, lossy closures, organized as a calculus of admissible sections of access maps. Truth is extendability: a local datum is globally valid exactly when it extends along the inverse system, with finite-stage obstruction certificates by compactness. Recovery of local charts is canonical exactly on the sufficiency sector (Petz recovery, conditioning); off it, every totalization is impotent or pays an exact relative-entropy price. Time is the Radon–Nikodym cocycle of the failure of a nonsingular dynamics to preserve belief, realized as the modular flow of its crossed-product envelope; a nontrivial clock forces a noncommutative envelope, with Murray–von Neumann–Connes type read off the ratio set and the flow of weights as envelope invariant. In the quantum perimeter, point-valued global truth is empty (Kochen–Specker), state-valued compatibility survives (Gleason, Christensen–Yeadon), Bell violations measure the classical gluing defect (Fine), and stable classical recordability is characterized as the commutative, modular-invariant, asymptotically sufficient chart sector; on the reflection-positive sector the record process reconstructs a positive-generator dynamics. Globality is relative but closure is terminal: stage sets collapse inward under directed exhaustion, the envelope tower closes outward at the second step by Takesaki duality, unforced finite-entropy residuals decay at a rate uniform in the modular cocycle (a complete logarithmic Sobolev inequality by transference from the circle), and the forcing cost balances exactly in dilation against system–environment correlation. Further results include an independence theorem for the underlying skeleton, a two-tier classification theorem with provable Foreman–Rudolph–Weiss wildness inside its fibers, an envelope universality theorem (the temporal envelopes are exactly the injective von Neumann algebras carrying a Cartan subalgebra), and a sector-split Orlicz envelope for relative entropy beyond bounded densities. Every external input is a named theorem-import with matched hypotheses; the interpretive vocabulary is proved to be a conservative definitional extension of the formal core.
