LF4 §14.2 parametric Robertson: σ·â, σ·b̂ on |0⟩ for arbitrary axes (N=2) #
Category: 3-Local (LF4 §14.2 concrete instance — parametric extension
of PauliRobertson.lean. Robertson bound for spin-½ Pauli observables
σ·â, σ·b̂ along arbitrary unit-vector axes â, b̂, on the spin-up
state |0⟩).
The parametric inequality #
For unit vectors â, b̂ ∈ ℝ³ (the DetectorSetting constraint) and the
spin-up state |0⟩:
⟨0 | σ·â | 0⟩ = a_z(third component), real.Var(σ·â) = ‖σ·â · 0‖² − a_z² = 1 − a_z²(Pauli unitarity).[σ·â, σ·b̂] = 2i · σ·(â × b̂)(standard Pauli algebra).⟨0 | [σ·â, σ·b̂] | 0⟩ = 2i · (â × b̂)_z = 2i · (a_x b_y − a_y b_x).¼ · ‖⟨0 | [σ·â, σ·b̂] | 0⟩‖² = (a_x b_y − a_y b_x)².
The Robertson bound becomes the geometric inequality:
(1 − a_z²)(1 − b_z²) ≥ (a_x b_y − a_y b_x)².
Both sides are explicit polynomials in the components of â and b̂.
Equality holds when both axes lie in the xy-plane (a_z = b_z = 0) and
are perpendicular (a_x b_y − a_y b_x = ±1), e.g., â = x̂, b̂ = ŷ —

Variance and ontic integral for σ·â on |0⟩ #
The ‖σ·â · |0⟩‖² = 1 (Pauli unitarity computed entry-wise on |0⟩).
Variance of σ·â on |0⟩ is 1 − a_z².
Ontic-side integrated centered observable for σ·â on |0⟩ is 1 − a_z².

The (0,0) entry of the matrix commutator [σ·â, σ·b̂] is

Headline: parametric Robertson on |0⟩ #
Parametric Robertson uncertainty for spin-½ on |0⟩. For any
unit-vector measurement axes â, b̂, the product of ontic-side variances
of σ·â, σ·b̂ on the spin-up state |0⟩ is bounded below by the squared
z-component of the cross product â × b̂:
(1 − a_z²) · (1 − b_z²) ≥ (a_x b_y − a_y b_x)².
A geometric inequality: both sides are explicit polynomial functions of
the axis components. Equality holds when both axes lie in the xy-plane
and are perpendicular — recovering pauli_xy_robertson_saturation as
the special case â = x̂, b̂ = ŷ.
