  • It may state two separate claims as one. 32
  • Probably not a substantial claim. 19
  • The quote only partly states this claim. 8
52 of 52
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The action of the group G on the finite set M and the group operations in G are easy to compute.

    “We assume that this action and the group operations in G are easy to compute.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The group G in the stabilizer problem is Abelian.

    “We shall assume instead that G is an Abelian group.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The set M can be identified with a subset of the Boolean cube B^n.

    “we shall assume that Μ is identified with a subset of the Boolean cube”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The function F is available as an oracle or black box that returns F(g,x) for inputs in its domain.

    “The function F is to be regarded as an oracle, that is, a 'black box' which receives an input word”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In real-world conditions, qubits are subject to perturbations even when no operation is performed on them.

    “Under real-life conditions qbits will be subject to perturbations even if nothing is done to them.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    In sensible applications, the function F can be computed in polynomial time.

    “In all sensible applications (see the examples below) F can be computed in polynomial time.”
  • The paper relies on this without support.

    Operators acting on a small number of quantum bits can be physically realized.

    “It is possible to realize such operators physically if η is small.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Errors at different steps are statistically independent because the environment is renewed each step.

    “Assuming that the environment is renewed at each step, we can exclude it from consideration and use the language of transformations of density operators (see §3.2). (This assumption means that errors at different steps are statistically independent.)”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Perturbations leave classical bits in classical states.

    “Nevertheless, it is natural to assume that the perturbation leaves the classical bits in a classical state.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The accuracy constant δ is small enough and does not depend on the specific layered scheme.

    “The accuracy constant δ will be assumed to be sufficiently small, but independent of the concrete layered scheme.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The quantum computer operates with mixed states, and unperturbed elementary transformations need not be of the form U·U†.

    “It proves convenient to assume from the very beginning that the quantum computer works with mixed states, and even that unperturbed elementary transformations do not necessarily have the form U • t/t.Such computations are called mixed.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    In the simplified quantum code problem, a perturbation occurs at only one step.

    “Suppose that a perturbation acts at a single step only.Arbitrary transformations, namely, coding and decoding, are allowed before and after this step.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The quantum channel belongs to a class where the transformation is a tensor product of single-qubit admissible transformations, each within δ of the identity.

    “We shall consider the following class of channels: Ν = DM' = T> n , Τ = Τι®• • •®Γ η , where Tj are admissible transformations with a single qbit”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    There exists a T in the error set such that ||T - f|| < ε.

    “We assume that there is a T £ 9t such that”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    In the derived code setting, Ή'=3Γ and £ contains 3j.

    “As a rule, we shall assume that”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    In the symplecto-classical case, all classical elements in the basis SC are accurate.

    “Now we shall assume that all the classical elements in the basis SC are accurate.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The classical scheme Σ10 is absolutely reliable.

    “the classical scheme Σ10 is assumed to be absolutely reliable.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    Until concrete examples are reached, all bits are assumed to be quantum bits.

    “Until we arrive at concrete examples we shall assume that all bits are quantum ones.”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    No more than two errors can occur.

    “(This is always enough, since we assume that no more than two errors can occur.)”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    The first step, construction of schemes similar to R_n, has already been made.

    “(It is assumed that the first step, namely, the construction of schemes similar to R n , has already been made.)”
  • The authors state this as an assumption.

    All spaces considered are unitary.

    “For simplicity we shall assume that all the spaces considered are unitary.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-06, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).

A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-06 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
