Agentic Proofs for QIQC: Collected Manuscripts
Yuxuan Zhang
Abstract
A versioned collection of twenty-one distinct AI-assisted research manuscripts on quantum information and quantum computation. Each manuscript is supplied as a separate PDF, identified by title, author, date, scope, website and QIQC report in README.md and MANUSCRIPTS.json. Sources for manuscripts 1–20 remain in sources-and-verification.zip; the new Chernoff manuscript's source and checking records are in chernoff-two-pass-source.zip. Collection version 1.3, 16 October 2026. This version adds Yuxuan Zhang, Two-pass local measurements beat the measured Chernoff exponent, manuscript version 1.0, 16 October 2026, 10 pages, file chernoff-two-pass.pdf. Theorem 1 gives faithful noncommuting four-dimensional states and a two-pass copywise LOCC counterexample to the universal equality in Eq. (4): the measured Chernoff exponent is below 0.677144, while the displayed protocol's exact exponent exceeds 0.68250256. The optimal unrestricted LOCC and SEP exponents, convergence of their optimal exponent sequences, and possible equality between the two classes remain unresolved. All twenty earlier manuscript PDFs and the earlier source archive are unchanged. Human and AI contributions. The author set the research directions, designed the harness that coordinated model tasks, tools, memory, and checking, supplied physical and mathematical intuitions and proof skeletons, and guided the development and revision of the research ideas. AI models developed detailed candidate arguments and derivations, searched the literature, wrote and ran computational checks, and drafted and revised the manuscripts under this supervision. This is an independently authored collection, not an official publication of the QIQC catalog. Archival publication does not establish novelty, external proof validation or catalog acceptance. Individual verification qualifications remain in each manuscript and index. Background references are distinguished from the manuscripts reporting the results. Withdrawn partial results and research logs are excluded. The eleven-qubit manuscript retains its individual DOI, 10.5281/zenodo.22968593. Prefer that individual DOI when citing that manuscript alone. Research website: https://yuxuanzhang1995.github.io/agentic-research/
