Superposition detection and QMA with non-collapsing measurements (2403.02532v1)
Published 4 Mar 2024 in quant-ph and cs.CC
Abstract: We prove that QMA where the verifier may also make a single non-collapsing measurement is equal to NEXP, resolving an open question of Aaronson. We show this is a corollary to a modified proof of QMA+ = NEXP [arXiv:2306.13247]. At the core of many results inspired by Blier and Tapp [arXiv:0709.0738] is an unphysical property testing problem deciding whether a quantum state is close to an element of a fixed basis.
