contents The general-purpose interactive theorem-proving assistant called Prove-It was used to verify the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) algorithm, specifically claims about its outcome probabilities. Prove-It is unique in its ability to express sophisticated mathematical statements, including statements about quantum circuits, integrated firmly within its formal theorem-proving framework. We demonstrate our ability to follow a textbook proof to produce a formally certified proof, highlighting useful automation features to fill in obvious steps and make formal proving nearly as straightforward as informal theorem proving. Finally, we make comparisons with formal theorem-proving in other systems where similar claims about QPE have been proven.
