Strictly Scalable Exterior Decoders for Quantum Lists: Exact Full-Spark Widths and Fixed-Probe Weyl Bayes Curves

Lluis Eriksson

Abstract

A quantum list measurement succeeds when its output contains the prepared label. Building on the known equivalence between learning width and Gram-matrix factor width, this paper closes an exact realization-sensitive branch. Every full-spark ensemble of N pure-state rays spanning C^r that admits strictly positive tight representatives has minimum zero-error list size N-r+1. Weighted Hodge duals of all (r-1)-fold frame wedges give an explicit attaining POVM, and a physical-space annihilator-cone formulation gives constructive compression to at most r^2 outcomes. A smallest-eigenvalue functional supplies a positive and perturbatively stable Bayes-error floor below threshold. For a flat consecutive-support Schmidt-rank-r probe of the complete d-dimensional Weyl-channel ensemble, the fixed-probe threshold is d-r+1. When r divides d, an arithmetic-support construction and dimension converse close the optimization over all pure Schmidt-rank-r probes at d/r. For the consecutive rank-two probe, the complete one-shot Bayes list curve is determined exactly. The nondivisible probe optimum, adaptive or multiuse testers, asymptotic capacity, arbitrary mixed states, and non-scalable full-spark ensembles remain outside scope.

AI assistance statement

OpenAI Codex assisted with theorem exploration, literature triage, proof stress testing, exact verifier development, manuscript editing, reproducibility checks, visual PDF inspection, machine-readable extraction, and ARR deposit preparation. A separate Codex task supplied critical model feedback recorded as an informal audit, not as peer review or scientific validation. The author selected and reviewed the claims, assumptions, proofs, citations, and executable evidence and remains responsible for the work.

Frontier-model screening

Status: not_assessed. Any listed reports correspond to this exact version under ARR-SCREEN-1.0; no absent assessment is represented as a pass.

    No eligible independent ARR-ASSESS-1.0 report is published for this exact version. Missing evidence is not scored as zero.

    No model reports are published for this version.

    A model assessment is not peer review or a correctness certificate. ARR preserves disagreement, exact-version provenance and later reassessments.

    Editorial disclosure

    Founder-owned record: Lluis Eriksson is both the author and ARR's current founder-editor. No independent editorial review, peer review, frontier-model screening, novelty certification, or scientific certification is claimed. Acceptance records a technically valid deposit, not a finding that the paper is correct.
