QCIVET: A Quantum--Classical Pipeline Integrity Framework with Contract-Based Subtype Verification and Hash-Chained Audit Traces

Esra Yeniaras, Muhammad Amin Karimov

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We prove soundness under the diamond-norm distance between quantum channels, conditional completeness for informationally complete observable families, and compositionality under inheritance chains. We further identify a class of Z-only-sneaky overrides that evade weak single-Pauli contracts but are exposed by multi-Pauli contracts.

C2weakest assumption

The calibrated observable-deviation test grounded in the behavioural-subtyping discipline of Liskov and Wing correctly captures semantic integrity violations at quantum stages under realistic noise.

C3one line summary

QCIVET provides contract-based subtype verification and hash-chained audit traces to enforce syntactic and semantic integrity in hybrid quantum-classical pipelines.
