Definition: Compiled-instrument interface
After Enter: records, instruments, decoders, and cutoffs › D2: record pullback versus instrument compatibility · lines 2338–2352
A compiled-instrument interface consists of:
a finite Enter program and declared classical and quantum outputs;
a dependency graph recording classical inputs to operations and order constraints imposed by shared quantum resources;
complete selective maps at its boundary;
a certificate of the exact composition, exchange, or implementation identities claimed.
Correctness concerns the complete selective maps, not only outcome effects. Existence of a physical implementation certificate is additional data; no general external-apparatus compiler theorem is asserted.
