Specifically, we derive an upper bound on how large the promise gap can be for the quantum PCP still to hold, as a function of the non-commuteness of the system. As the system becomes more and more commuting, the maximal promise gap shrinks.\n  We view these results as possibly a preliminary step towards disproving the quantum PCP conjecture.
