When a quantum operation is specified exactly, irrational amplitudes in its unitary description can disappear from its action on density matrices, leaving an operation with rational coefficients whose implementation still requires additional resources. I develop a Quantum Galois Machine that determines whether an algebraically specified quantum channel can be executed using rational matrices and a finite environment initially prepared in a computational basis state. For every unitary channel with rational coefficients, the minimum dimension of an environment that may be discarded is exactly the least number of rational squares needed to represent a positive rational parameter extracted from the channel. This gives a complete classification with possible dimensions one, two, three and four, each attained by an explicit example. The associated square class multiplies under parallel and sequential composition, so two identical operations admit a joint implementation without an environment even when one operation requires four dimensions. Returning the environment to its initial basis state or retaining a specified coherent control imposes different arithmetic obstructions. Although unrestricted approximation removes this exact environment requirement, a bound on rational denominators restores a quantitative obstruction: a nonsquare output probability with reduced denominator S forces diamond-norm error at least 2/(SB^2) when every entry denominator of an environment-free implementation is at most B. A constructive Householder approximation supplies a complementary upper bound, giving logarithmic denominator bit cost in inverse precision for each fixed channel with nonsquare parameter. These results provide finite certificates that account for the coefficient field, phase convention, auxiliary systems and numerical description size.

Quantum programmes can agree on the operation performed within each branch whilst differing in the interference produced when those branches are recombined. I propose a Quantum Riemann Machine as a finite architecture for checking whether specified implementations admit a common quantum realisation and determining its environmental cost. Its geometric input records the continuation of Kraus frames around loops; its physical consistency condition is the positive Gram condition of channel gluing. For three branches, the eigenphases of a single loop give an exact coherence threshold and pure-environment spectrum. I extend this calculation to one reference branch and an arbitrary number of mutually calibrated branches, allowing their loop transports to be noncommuting. The singular values of the sum of these transports determine the complete spectrum through explicit cubic polynomials, and hence determine feasibility and the minimum environment dimension. A four-branch example has feasible restrictions to every three branches but no joint realisation. Reorienting one transport while preserving its eigenvalues restores feasibility, demonstrating information that separate loop spectra do not retain. Leaving one comparison unspecified instead permits an environment of dimension six, whereas prescribing it can require dimension eight or make the programme impossible. Spectral error bounds and constructive compression retain every local branch channel exactly. These certificates distinguish incompatible interference specifications from insufficient environmental resources and quantify the consequences of reducing an implementation, connecting its transport description to the design and verification of coherently controlled quantum programmes.
A quantum channel can always be implemented by a unitary interaction with an environment that starts in a pure state. With a finite, maximally mixed environment, the implementable channels are the noisy operations. A tracial von Neumann algebra as environment gives the factorizable channels, and by a theorem of Haagerup and Musat combined with MIP* = RE, some of these lie outside the closure of the noisy operations. Version 1.0 of this record wrote down explicit rational channels of this kind, with no value for their distance from the closure. This version gives explicit lower bounds. Using Wang and Zhi's dimension-uniform reflection estimate, it constructs a factorizable unital channel on twelve qubits with Kraus entries in {0, 1, ±3/5, 4/5}, whose normalized Choi and diamond distances from the closure are at least 2^-(2J+50), with J = 2^(2^1122000). The bound comes from a compiler theorem: group relations that are rigid uniformly in the matrix dimension give a rational channel with an explicit distance bound. For the channels of version 1.0, a new spectral certificate for the root groups of their presentation gives explicit gaps: 2^-(2J+41) for the fifteen-qubit channel and its two variants and, by the bound of version 1.0, 2^-(2J+36) in Choi distance and 2^-(2J+21) in diamond distance for the fully referenced channel. The numbers are tiny because Wang and Zhi's tolerance is 2^-J. The results depend on recent preprints of Wang and Zhi, Thom, and Alekseev, Liu and Thom, which are not yet refereed. This archive includes the paper, the channel data, the certificates, and programs that rebuild and check them; python verify_all.py ends with OK ALL.
A quantum von Neumann machine that retains its stored programme in superposition must execute the selected operations without destroying coherence between programme branches, creating a resource requirement that cannot be assessed by examining each programme separately. I establish this distinction for programmes that select controlled-Z operations on the edges of a graph. Every classically selected programme uses only Clifford operations, yet coherent execution requires a number of injected non-Clifford T states proportional to the programme length for every fixed normalised diamond-distance tolerance below one half. For a graph with m edges and n active data vertices, the lower bound for exact execution is m + n states, whilst an explicit implementation uses at most 4m. The lower bound permits arbitrary programme-dependent phases, stabilizer workspace, measurements and adaptive control. Its extension to imperfect execution bounds both the probability of substantial resource consumption and the expected consumption, without imposing a separate limit on workspace or measurement count. The proof derives a uniform bound on Pauli expectations of the joint programme-data output and uses its stabilizer subspaces to constrain every low-resource trajectory. A supporting criterion identifies precisely when a Clifford instruction library admits an exact Clifford interpreter under the chosen binary programme encoding. These results separate the cost of interpreting coherent instructions from the cost of the operations selected by a classical programme, providing a quantitative constraint on compilation and resource estimation for stored-programme quantum computation.
Quantum programmes described through successive approximations need a consistent way to retain their limiting behaviour when individual approximating settings are discarded. I propose a Quantum Cantor–Bendixson Machine that certifies and repairs quantum operations at boundaries of a classical control space. For continuous matrix-valued observables over a compact zero-dimensional metric space and a finite retained boundary, the smallest completely bounded repair cost is exactly twice the largest boundary leakage, and a continuous unital completely positive map attains it. I extend this result to simultaneous finite boundary constraints, identifying when their costs combine without an additional penalty. For independent operations on any finite product of convergent-sequence spaces, a product repair preserves every Cantor–Bendixson derivative, including the infinite intermediate boundaries, at the exact cost already forced by the final boundary. A coherent qubit example establishes why the corresponding cost for a quantum subspace can instead scale as the square root of leakage. Computable operations can have noncomputable optimal repair costs: their possible leakages are exactly the lower semicomputable reals in the unit interval. An explicit tail certificate permits finite bounds and a computable repair arbitrarily close to the optimum. These results specify when one operation can respect several topological reductions, what this consistency costs, and which additional information makes its certification effective.
Reversible Finite-Frame Dynamics for Rational Quantum Grids: Preparation Laws and Matching-Dependent Statistical Predictions This paper develops a finite, reversible model of quantum control motivated by Tim Palmer’s rational quantum mechanics (RaQM). Rational restrictions on quantum states do not by themselves determine how nominal quantum gates should act when their exact outputs lie outside the admissible state set. The paper addresses this problem by constructing finite catalogues of quantum frames on which commands act as permutations, together with explicit preparation laws that assign statistical predictions to complete control sequences. The analysis distinguishes a conditional rational grid from its occupation-compatible subset, identifies their common projective monomial gate group, and proves an obstruction to uniformly accurate fixed-grid repair by local gates. Equal-measure partitions and perfect matchings are then used to construct reversible approximations of local and entangling controls on enlarged finite ray sets. A compensated preparation law yields a common random-unitary channel for each control word, while a finite consistency criterion determines whether a proposed preparation law works for all words. For fixed circuit depth, the resulting statistics converge uniformly to the nominal quantum predictions as the catalogue is refined. At sufficiently large depths, finite recurrence forces disagreement for a repeated entangling circuit. An explicit rematching of the CNOT control removes a seven-block discrepancy without increasing the catalogue size or the stated error bounds, showing that those coarse conditions alone do not determine the earliest observable deviation. The construction is therefore a mathematically explicit candidate completion of finite-state quantum kinematics, while leaving the physical selection of a particular matching, preparation law and reduction dynamics as additional assumptions. Exact Python and Wolfram Language checks accompany the finite examples.
Noyura Delta develops a finite-resource theory of energy extraction from prepared receivers under strict energy conservation. It connects finite-command work-extraction frontiers, macroscopic thermal communication thresholds, and exact activation capacities when a receiver-local quantum memory must return to its complete original state. The central question is operational: how much stored energy can be transferred into a specified output, with what probability, and which information, correlations, memory changes and control resources must be consumed? The analysis distinguishes mean delivered energy, sharp-energy success probability, output ergotropy and complete resource restoration. Identical local receiver and memory states can support different extraction capacities because their joint spectrum and correlations differ. The release develops six connected results: 1. Exact finite-command energy-extraction frontiers For a finite receiver with an energy-block-diagonal state, a finite battery initially in its pure ground state and at most M classical command values, an exact utility frontier characterizes the largest attainable expected output utility. Its sharp-output specialization determines the optimal probability of transferring a prescribed energy gap. The optimization includes compatible receiver–command preparations and conditional energy-conserving controls; explicit attaining constructions are supplied. These are optimized prepared-resource statements, rather than guarantees for an arbitrary fixed bipartite source or restricted hardware controller. 2. Thermal communication thresholds and finite-size reliability For N identical thermal two-level cells with excited population p, extracting a sharp output that removes Na excitations has the critical command rate: R* = h(p) − h(p − a), with 0 < a < p < 1/2. Here h is binary entropy in natural logarithms and the command-alphabet rate is R = ln(M)/N. Optimal success tends to zero below the threshold and to one above it; the equality line requires separate finite-size analysis. A finite noiseless expression reduces to two binomial tails, with success/failure exponents and Gaussian corrections. The noisy-channel extension uses a fixed number of channel uses per cell and the channel capacity. Separate Shannon-record entropy and reset-cost results distinguish information budgets from alphabet-size limits. Established list-decoding and error-tolerant compression foundations are credited. 3. Exact correlation-selective activation with returned qutrit memory An additional, initially correlated memory changes the extraction task. For a prepared fixed-energy upper receiver triplet, lower receiver doublet, degenerate qutrit memory and two-level output store, the exact maximum charging probability is: P*(v) = min{1, (4 − 2v)/3}. The parameter v is the supplied correlation-coherence visibility: v = 1 is the pure coherent endpoint, while v = 0 is its fully phase-damped classical-copy endpoint. Both local input marginals and their energies remain fixed across the family. Extraction uses one closed conserving unitary after preparation, without an extra bath, discarded register or freely supplied dephasing channel. A calibrated unitary returns the complete memory marginal to I3/3. Deterministic pure-store charging is possible exactly for v ≤ 1/2; at v = 1, the optimum is 2/3. Explicit full 30-dimensional unitaries attain the bound. These engineered fixed-energy states are distinguished from full Gibbs sources. 4. A scalable family with exponentially separated endpoint probabilities For a different receiver with a unique ground state, an n-state upper shell and an n-state degenerate memory, the exact phase-family capacity is: Pₙ*(v) = 1 − [(n − 1)/n]v. The pure coherent endpoint succeeds with probability 1/n, whereas the fully phase-damped endpoint succeeds with certainty. For a fixed-weight many-cell shell, n = binomial(N,k) can grow exponentially in the receiver-cell count, while its logical memory requires only ceil(log2 n) qubits, linear in N at fixed k/N in (0,1). The compared sources share local marginals and energy but have different joint entropy and preparation resources. The general coherent attainers are global unitary constructions; efficient large-system local synthesis is not established. Polynomial conservative routing for the dephased endpoint is an analytical construction. 5. Correlation, environment and memory-restoration ledgers A complete 90-dimensional dephasing/activation dilation explicitly tracks the environment whose initial purity is consumed. Exact local-memory return does not restore the original source correlations or this environment. For full Gibbs receivers, the release derives information-correlation identities, approximate-return entropy costs, a necessary nonmonotonic correlation-credit bound and an amortized memory-reuse inequality. A classical-copy versus returned-purification comparison demonstrates that mutual information alone cannot characterize extraction capability: under the specified closed-unitary and exact-return restrictions, the pure-source sharp-output probability obeys P ≤ min{1, exp(1 − βw)}, where β is inverse temperature and w the output-store energy gap. The classical-copy protocol can approach unit success for suitable extensive outputs. 6. Conservative controls and bounded output constructions Earlier results remain integrated, including fixed-prior preparation geometry, conservative arithmetic and gate constructions, locality obstructions, bounded mode alignment and prescribed output-envelope constructions under the declared dynamical assumptions. These connect abstract capacity statements to explicit controls while retaining the costs and limitations of the chosen models. The deposit contains the 107-page version 6.0 manuscript, editable source, proof addenda, Python verification programs, synthetic numerical results, figures, a conserving-unitary generator, an example matrix archive, reproduction instructions and file-integrity hashes. The packaged research reports record 22 passing verification suites. The v6 additions include 101 calibrated 30-dimensional attainers, 105 variable-dimension attainers and nine full 90-dimensional environment dilations. Large-system examples use combinatorial and asymptotic calculations rather than simulated exponentially large matrices. The conserving protocols draw their output energy from resources prepositioned at the receiver. Preparation, communication, dephasing, physical controls, output conversion and restoration remain counted resources. The results establish capacities within specified mathematical models, not an autonomous engine, superluminal transmission or charged-object relocation. Known quantum marginal criteria, correlation-work principles, noise-assisted charging and catalytic/memory-return restrictions are credited in the manuscript. Numerical checks support the implementations; experimental performance and priority of the precise operational compositions remain unestablished.
