The state (eq:KM-prep) is well defined and has the same parity as . Its normalization obeys

If , its energy probabilities are

Moreover,

Proof. The spectral bounds give the normalization inequalities and positivity of . The quartic Hamiltonian is even, so its exponential preserves parity. The spectral decomposition gives . Differentiating the finite-dimensional spectral sum proves the mean and variance formulas.
