The Complexity of Translationally Invariant Problems beyond Ground State Energies

no code implementations23 Dec 2020 James D. Watson, Johannes Bausch, Sevag Gharibian

It is known that three fundamental questions regarding local Hamiltonians -- approximating the ground state energy (the Local Hamiltonian problem), simulating local measurements on the ground space (APX-SIM), and deciding if the low energy space has an energy barrier (GSCON) -- are $\mathsf{QMA}$-hard, $\mathsf{P}^{\mathsf{QMA}[log]}$-hard and $\mathsf{QCMA}$-hard, respectively, meaning they are likely intractable even on a quantum computer.
