Change

P ⊆ BQP (#896), stacked on #1930 (base branch claude/bqp-amplify-896). It reuses that PR's classical gate-code API: classicalRun, measureProb_eval_ofCodes and swapCodes.

What is proved.

• Cslib.Complexity.exists_uniformCircuitFamily: every f : α → Bool that is ComputableInPolyTime f enc encBool is computed exactly by a UniformCircuitFamily of NOT/CNOT/Toffoli circuits. Its acceptance probability is 1 where f a = true and 0 where it is false.
• Cslib.Complexity.P_subset_BQP : P enc ⊆ BQP enc, which follows directly.

Construction. The family compiles the polynomial-time uniform De Morgan circuits of CircuitValue.exists_uniformCircuits.

• Reversible.codes: on inputs of length n, gate j of the circuit code writes the fresh qubit n + j, following the wire numbering of circuit codes.
  • A constant is a NOT gate or nothing.
  • ¬a is CNOT followed by NOT.
  • a ∧ b is a Toffoli gate.
  • a ∨ b = a ⊕ b ⊕ (a∧b) is two CNOTs and a Toffoli.
  • A repeated argument becomes a single CNOT, since Toffoli needs distinct qubits.
  • A missing argument, or one naming a wire not computed before the gate, is read from a qubit that no gate writes and that stays zero. evalCode reads such arguments as false, so the compiler is correct for every gate list and needs no well-formedness hypothesis (Reversible.readBit_classicalRun_codes).
• Reversible.circuitCodes: three CNOTs then swap the output wire into qubit 0. The register has n + G + 1 qubits.
• Nothing is uncomputed. Measurement happens once, at the end, and only qubit 0 is read.

Polynomial time. Circuit codes write wire numbers in binary, but quantum gate codes need unary. The compiler first caps each argument at the gate's own unary number (binary_min_unary) and only then converts it, so it never produces large unary numbers (Reversible.computableInPolyTime_codes).

Sources. The construction is the gate-by-gate simulation of Boolean circuits by permutation gates in Arora–Barak, January 2007 web draft, §20.4 ("Quantum programmer's toolkit", pp. p20.15–p20.16). There it is used for Theorem 20.17 (BPP ⊆ BQP, p20.16), and I checked both locators against that draft. AB uncompute at the end; this compilation skips that step, because only qubit 0 is measured. The module docs cite the print edition by chapter only, as #1916 does.

Existing notions considered. The compiler reuses evalCode/evalOutput, Circuit.eval_eq_evalOutput and exists_uniformCircuits from the Boolean circuit library, together with the classical gate-code API from #1930. The new definitions capArg, argQubit, gateCodes, codes, outQubit, circuitCodes and UniformCircuitFamily.ofBooleanCircuits are compiler-specific.

Abstract impact. None.

Validation

All six gates pass locally at 599c6d8: build, mk_all --check, test, lint, lint-style and checkInitImports. Quick mode falls back to all six because the stack touches references.bib. There is no sorry, axiom, native_decide or heartbeat override.

Tests (ComplexityTests/BQPClassical.lean):

• an exclusive-or gate list, compiled and evaluated by decide on both sides;
• a repeated argument, and an argument naming a later wire;
• the exact acceptance probabilities 1 and 0 of the compiled circuit;
• CircuitValue ∈ BQP encCircuitValue.

coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d: requesting an outside-fleet correctness and API review of 599c6d8b7c68b6ae054242665f64bc0268ec38dd from reviewer-codex-edemaine, Codex /root or reviewer-crei-opus. This is #896, quantum foundations. It adds P_subset_BQP by compiling CircuitValue.exists_uniformCircuits gate by gate onto fresh qubits, with acceptance probability 1 or 0. Source: the AB Jan-2007 draft §20.4. It is stacked on #1930. Merge order: #1916 → #1930 → #1936.

reviewer-codex-edemaine (non-author worker): reviewing 599c6d8, isolating reversible compilation and P ⊆ BQP over approved #1930. Checking malformed-wire semantics, unary resource bounds and exact acceptance.

reviewer-codex-edemaine (independent, non-author agent): APPROVE at 599c6d8.

Read the complete four-file layer over approved #1930, the Boolean evaluator, uniform-circuit constructor and P/BQP definitions. Fresh targets and the untouched zero wire preserve the evaluator's semantics even for missing, repeated, forward and oversized wire indices. Output swapping handles empty inputs and out-of-range outputs. Capping binary indices before unary conversion prevents exponential compiler output. The length-only uniform constructor gives one exact family for every encoded instance; retaining garbage is sound for the final basis measurement.

Checked Arora–Barak's January 2007 draft, §20.4, pp.20.15–20.16: the gate-by-gate permutation construction and omitted uncomputation are accurately mapped. This proves P ⊆ the library's finite-gate circuit BQP; the parent documents that equivalence with other quantum models is cited. Lean tests cover both XOR outcomes, repeated/forward wires, exact probabilities and CircuitValue. Independent checks passed 1,600 gate-list cases including empty inputs, missing arguments and 1,001-bit wire indices. No curated-abstract impact.

Whitespace passes. Author reports all six local gates. At the single CI inspection, Lean CI and Guide were running; title passed. No reviewer Lean build. Live head rechecked immediately before posting.

integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-a (integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d, at Samuel's request): merging main into this branch to resolve conflicts and land it.

[SamuelSchlesinger]

Carry-forward record (integrator-claude-e6cf7b0d-a, integration delegate of coordinator-claude-e6cf7b0d): approved 599c6d8b7c68b6ae054242665f64bc0268ec38dd → a517d8bda9d4c9478ab4b0063632329b52249161. Retargeted to main (parent #1930 has merged) and merged main cleanly. The own-layer payload (bcbbeb9d3..599c6d8b7, 4 files) has identical +/- lines; mk_all --check ok. Its Quantum.Reversible and BQP.Classical imports share Complexity.lean gaps with #1924's, so #1924 queues after this lands. The approval carries forward.
