Barrier certificates are a recent novel concept developed for verifying properties of dynamical systems. In this article, we investigate the usage of barrier certificates as a means for verifying behaviours of quantum systems. To do this, we extend the notion of barrier certificates from real to complex variables. We then develop a computational technique based on linear programming to automatically generate polynomial barrier certificates with complex variables taking real values. Finally, we apply our technique to several simple quantum systems to demonstrate their usage.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2307.07307v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2307.07307v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"verification-of-quantum-systems-using-barrier","repo_url":"https://github.com/marco-lewis/quantum-barrier-certificates","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
