Abstract
We investigate signatures of nonclassicality in quantum states, in particular, those involved in the DQC1 model of mixed-state quantum computation [E. Knill and R. Laflamme, Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 5672 (1998)]. To do so, we consider two known nonclassicality criteria. The first quantifies disturbance of a quantum state under locally noneffective unitary operations (LNUs), which are local unitaries acting invariantly on a subsystem. The second quantifies measurement-induced disturbance (MID) in the eigenbasis of the reduced density matrices. We study the role of both figures of nonclassicality in the exponential speedup of the deterministic quantum computation with one qubit (DQC1) model and compare them vis-\`a-vis the interpretation provided in terms of quantum discord. In particular, we prove that a nonzero quantum discord implies a nonzero shift under LNUs. We also use the MID measure to study the locking of classical correlations [D. P. DiVincenzo et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 067902 (2004)] using two mutually unbiased bases (MUBs). We find the MID measure to exactly correspond to the number of locked bits of correlation. For three or more MUBs, it predicts the possibility of superior locking effects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
