Key Points

  • The aim is to provide a verified framework for assessing the consistency of Quantum Neural Network outputs.
  • Developed a seven-layer verified neuro-symbolic pipeline.
  • Applied Bounded State Determinism to evaluate predicted probabilities against specified priors.
  • Utilized various formal verification techniques including lambda distance, Datalogs, and Z3 proof systems.
  • Achieved a VALID verdict with a lambda distance of 9.97×10⁻³.
  • Established a five-link tamper-evident audit trail for QNN predictions.
  • Demonstrated probabilistic boundedness and internal consistency of outputs.

Abstract

Quantum Neural Network (QNN) outputs are probabilistic, unauditable, and provide no formal guarantee of internal consistency. This paper presents a seven-layer verified neuro-symbolic pipeline that addresses this gap. The pipeline applies Bounded State Determinism to QNN outputs, treating each predicted probability as a stimulus verified against a formally specified prior. It produces: a V8 lambda distance from the uniform prior, a Clamp Guard drift classification per output, a Scallop Datalog sum invariant, a CAIME tamper-evident chain hash, and a Z3 formal envelope proof. Demonstrated on the QNN football predictions of Sun and Chu (Scientific Reports, 2025), the pipeline produces a VALID verdict with lambda distance 9.97×10⁻³ and a five-link tamper-evident audit trail. The contribution is a verification layer, not a prediction model: a system that cannot determine whether a QNN prediction is correct, but can formally certify whether it is internally consistent, probabilistically bounded, and tamper-evident.
