abstract

We examine the problem of determining if a 2-local Hamiltonian is stoquastic by local basis changes. We analyze this problem for two-qubit Hamiltonians, presenting some basic tools and giving a concrete example where using unitaries beyond Clifford rotations is required in order to decide stoquasticity. We report on simple results for $n$-qubit Hamiltonians with identical 2-local terms on bipartite graphs. Our most significant result is that we give an efficient algorithm to determine whether an arbitrary $n$-qubit XYZ Heisenberg Hamiltonian is stoquastic by local basis changes.

The power of unentanglement without destructive interference

quant-ph · 2026-04-30 · accept · novelty 8.0

StoqMA(2) contains NP via Õ(√n)-qubit unentangled stoquastic proofs (nearly perfect completeness) and is contained in EXP, with ETH-optimal parameters matching a refined BKS Sum-of-Squares bound.
