The exact source-to-field channel obeys
The characteristic functional of every input follows by linearity. In particular, off-diagonal source dependence is generally nonzero.
If , the result is the single--observable channel of Em03-F. If , it is a single--observable measure-and-prepare channel.
Proof. Let . Weyl multiplication gives
The phase from cancels the explicit branch-phase difference. For , the coefficient . For , it is . Summing over proves all four formulas. The two reductions follow either from the endpoint unitary or from these characteristic functions.
