In this paper, we propose Proq, a runtime assertion scheme for testing and debugging quantum programs on a quantum computer. The predicates in Proq are represented by projections (or equivalently, closed subspaces of the state space),…

We present a protocol that transforms any quantum multi-prover interactive proof into a nonlocal game in which questions consist of logarithmic number of bits and answers of constant number of bits. As a corollary, this proves that the…

We introduce DreamProver, an agentic framework that leverages a "wake-sleep" program induction paradigm to discover reusable lemmas for formal theorem proving. Existing approaches either rely on fixed lemma libraries, which limit…

In proof assistants, the physical proximity between two formal mathematical concepts is a strong predictor of their mutual relevance. Furthermore, lemmas with close proximity regularly exhibit similar proof structures. We show that this…

The free-variable tableau method has been widely used in order to automate proofs in multiple kinds of logics. Many automated theorem provers rely on this approach, either because it is the only available method-e.g., in certain modal…

We propose a synthesis of the two proof styles of interactive theorem proving: the procedural style (where proofs are scripts of commands, like in Coq) and the declarative style (where proofs are texts in a controlled natural language, like…
