• Abstract: We present a full-oscillator analysis of a finite-energy GKP CHSH test whose observed score yields robust Bell-pair self-testing. Periodically binned position and momentum give the Pauli settings, while a fixed binary coarse-graining of photon number modulo four and its displaced conjugate realize the tilted settings. For a number-filtered GKP source, we retain the finite codeword overlap, define the measurements on all photon-number sectors, and compute the physical correlations without logical post-corrections. With the canonical ideal-logical displacement \(d=\sqrtπ\), the CHSH value exceeds the local bound above \(4.56\) dB of per-peak squeezing, and Kaniewski's extractability bound becomes nontrivial above \(5.02\) dB. Calibrating only \(d\) using an independently characterized finite-energy parameter lowers these model thresholds to \(4.21\) dB and \(4.58\) dB, respectively; at \(12\) dB, it raises the score from \(2.69486\) to \(2.78858\) and the corresponding target-state overlap bound from \(0.90758\) to \(0.97243\). This calibration is fixed before Bell-test data are collected. The displacement activates the odd modulo-four sectors, so their fixed a priori assignments are a genuine finite-energy component. The large gain is specific to the deterministic phase-bit coarse-graining; independently calibrating the one-bit POVM with randomized odd-sector outcomes gives only a much smaller improvement. These are honest-model predictions, not loss, detection-efficiency, or finite-sample thresholds. In an experiment, a device-independent guarantee for an extracted Bell pair follows by inserting a confidence lower bound on the observed CHSH score into the self-testing theorem.

  We study three notions of uncertainty quantification -- calibration, confidence intervals and prediction sets -- for binary classification in the distribution-free setting. We derive confidence intervals for binned probabilities for both fixed-width and uniform-mass binning. As a consequence of our 'tripod' theorems, these confidence intervals for binned probabilities lead to distribution-free calibration.
