PureSuperQMA(exp) = BellPureSymQMA(poly) = QMA via Dimension-Free Bosonic Argmax

Abstract

Pure-state consistency problems naturally lead to quantum proof systems in which a single pure witness must satisfy many acceptance constraints. The corresponding class $\mathsf{PureSuperQMA}$ was previously known to lie between $\mathsf{QMA}$ and $\mathsf{QMA}(2)$, and Kamminga and Rudolph (ITCS'26) conjectured that both containments are strict. In this paper, we prove the following surprising complexity collapses $$ \mathsf{QMA} = \mathsf{PureSuperQMA} = \mathsf{PureSuperQMA}(\text{exp}) = \...

Description / Details

Pure-state consistency problems naturally lead to quantum proof systems in which a single pure witness must satisfy many acceptance constraints. The corresponding class PureSuperQMA\mathsf{PureSuperQMA} was previously known to lie between QMA\mathsf{QMA} and QMA(2)\mathsf{QMA}(2), and Kamminga and Rudolph (ITCS'26) conjectured that both containments are strict. In this paper, we prove the following surprising complexity collapses QMA=PureSuperQMA=PureSuperQMA(exp)=BellPureSymQMA(poly) \mathsf{QMA} = \mathsf{PureSuperQMA} = \mathsf{PureSuperQMA}(\text{exp}) = \mathsf{BellPureSymQMA}(\text{poly}) Here PureSuperQMA(exp)\mathsf{PureSuperQMA}(\text{exp}) allows exponentially many checks which are uniformly indexed and efficiently generated, while requiring an inverse-polynomial violation margin and an inverse-polynomial fraction of violated checks for the NO cases. BellPureSymQMA(poly)\mathsf{BellPureSymQMA}(\text{poly}) is a related model that requires the prover to give the verifier polynomially many copies of a pure state, which the verifier measures separately with logarithmic output length for each local measurement, before processing the outcomes jointly. The main technical ingredient is a dimension-free stability bound for symmetric tensor states. Our simulations use polynomially many witness registers and combine a random-pair SWAP test with a permutation-invariant lift of the original verification procedure. The key step is to show that, on the symmetric subspace, the extremal verification value is close to that of some tensor-power witness with dimension-independent error. Applying this argument to the two verification models yields both simulations. As a consequence, exact kk-local pure-state consistency is QMA\mathsf{QMA}-complete for every fixed k2k\ge2, and so are the corresponding exact bosonic and fermionic pure NN-representability problems.
