(* * Entropy Distribution Validation — Formal Specification * Ahmad Ali Parr · 2026-08-03 * * Formal verification of quantum entropy source validation via ±10% NISQ tolerance. * * ## Specification * * Given byte stream from ANU QRNG (real quantum vacuum fluctuations): * 1. Count total bits * 2. Count ones * 3. Calculate ones_ratio = ones / total_bits * 4. Verify |ones_ratio - 0.5| ≤ TOLERANCE (default 0.10) * * ## Properties to Prove * * 1. **Soundness**: If validation passes, source is statistically random (NISQ grade) * 2. **Completeness**: True random source passes with high probability * 3. **Rejection**: Non-random sources (all 0s, all 1s, patterns) fail * 4. **Tolerance Bound**: ±10% catches bias while allowing quantum noise * 5. **Monotonicity**: Stricter tolerance → fewer false positives * * ## Reference Implementation * * JavaScript (src/quantum_entropy.mjs): * ```javascript * function validateDistribution (uint16s) { * const bytes = [] * for (const v of uint16s) { bytes.push((v >> 8) & 0xff, v & 0xff) } * const totalBits = bytes.length * 8 * let ones = 0 * for (const b of bytes) { * let x = b * while (x) { ones += x & 1; x >>= 1 } * } * const onesRatio = ones / totalBits * const passed = Math.abs(onesRatio - 0.5) <= TOLERANCE * return { totalBits, ones, zeros: totalBits - ones, onesRatio, passed } * } * ``` *) Require Import Coq.Reals.Reals.
