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 was previously known to lie between and , and Kamminga and Rudolph (ITCS'26) conjectured that both containments are strict. In this paper, we prove the following surprising complexity collapses Here 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. 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 -local pure-state consistency is -complete for every fixed , and so are the corresponding exact bosonic and fermionic pure -representability problems.
