Abstract

Can one considerably shorten a proof for a quantum problem by using a protocol with a constant number of unentangled provers? We consider a frustration-free variant of the \(\textsf {QCMA}\)-complete ground state connectivity (GSCON) problem for a system of size n with a proof of superlinear size. We show that we can shorten this proof in \(\textsf {QMA}(2)\): There exists a two-copy, unentangled proof with length of order n, up to logarithmic factors, while the completeness–soundness gap of the new protocol becomes a small inverse polynomial in n.

Fußnoten
1
In general, this could be also l-local unitaries; we choose \(l=2\). This variant of the problem is still QCMA complete [11].
 
2
This inverse polynomial is quite small, as shown in Sect. 4.4: \(c'-s' = \Omega \left( \Delta ^{13} m^{-32} G^{-10} \right) \), with \(\Delta \) from the definition of GSCON and G the gate set size.
 
3
Note that there are squares in the expression, while [3], Lemma 3.3, has a typo, missing the squares.
 
4
Our proof would also go through for a very small \(\eta _1\), or could be avoided with more copies of the proof. However, we have not found a good enough way of performing a single measurement of energy for non-frustration-free Hamiltonians, that would with high enough probability tell if an energy of a single copy of a state (a superposition of eigenstates with various energies) is below or above thresholds that could be very close together.
