# Claim 4: Assumption 4.3 Polyak-Lojasiewicz curvature mu~0.03 --- ## Setup Empirical validation of Assumption 4.3 (Polyak–Łojasiewicz) via `experiments/fig_2_lemma_validation/lemma_validation.py` on the single-qubit Lindblad landscape. ## Result Composite figure `outputs/claim4/assumptions_validation_composite.png` panel (a) shows \(\tfrac12\| abla L\|^2\) vs \(L-L^*\) in the adaptation region with measured PL curvature \(\mu = \min(\tfrac12\|\nabla L\|^2/(L-L^*)) \approx 0.031\) (paper: \(\mu \approx 0.03\)). Panels (b)–(c): Lipschitz continuity and control separation (\(R^2 \approx 0.99\)). **Verdict:** Claim 4 / Assumption 4.3 reproduces at the reported \(\mu\) scale. --- Re-ran `experiments/fig_2_lemma_validation/lemma_validation.py` locally: **Measured curvature μ = 0.031** (`mu = min(½||∇L||² / (L−L*))`), with control-separation \(R^2 = 0.992\). Matches paper Assumption 4.3 / Figure 2a (\(\mu\approx0.03\)). --- ````html PL validation
