Dilating a POVM strategy to a projective one #
A strategy built by a rigidity argument arrives as a family of POVMs on each party's register ---
averages of sandwiches, coarse-grainings, mixtures --- while the soundness theorems take
TensorProductStrategy, whose measurements are projective. Naimark's theorem closes the gap: each
family of POVMs is the compression, by one question-independent isometry ancillaEmbed d a₀, of a
projective family on d × A (exists_projective_dilation). This file packages that for a whole
two-party strategy and records the two facts a consumer needs:
povmValue_extVec2: on the twice-extended stateextVec2 ψ a₀ b₀a strategy has the value of its compression onψ, so the dilated projective strategy has the value of the POVM strategy it came from;inconsistency_extVec2: likewise for the inconsistency of two measurement families, so a conclusion about the dilated strategy on the extended state reads back, throughPOVM.compress, as a conclusion about compressions on the original state.
ancCompress a₀ is the compression of a single matrix and POVM.compress a₀ of a POVM; the
latter is a POVM because the isometry preserves positivity and sends the identity to the identity.
exists_projective_dilation_povm is Naimark for a question-indexed family of bundled POVMs.
MIPRE.Background.LIDT.Adapter.Registers combines these with the reindexing of that file to state
the seeded low individual degree test's soundness for a POVM strategy.
Compression by an inert ancilla #
The compression of an operator on d × Anc by the ancilla state |a₀⟩.
Equations
- MIPRE.ancCompress a₀ X = (MIPRE.ancillaEmbed d a₀).conjTranspose * (X * MIPRE.ancillaEmbed d a₀)
Instances For
The compression of a POVM is a POVM.
Equations
- MIPRE.POVM.compress a₀ M = { mats := fun (a : A) => ⟨MIPRE.ancCompress a₀ ↑(M.mats a), ⋯⟩, nonneg := ⋯, normalized := ⋯ }

The Born rule on the twice-extended state #
bornProb_extVec2, with the compressions named.
A strategy on the twice-extended state has the value of its compression.
Inconsistency on the twice-extended state is inconsistency of the compressions.
Naimark dilation of a POVM strategy #
Naimark dilation of a question-indexed family of POVMs: a projective family on d × A
whose compression by |a₀⟩ is the given family, question by question.
