contents We consider the problem of learning local quantum Hamiltonians given copies of their Gibbs state at a known inverse temperature, following Haah et al. [2108.04842] and Bakshi et al. [arXiv:2310.02243]. Our main technical contribution is a new flat polynomial approximation of the exponential function based on the Chebyshev expansion, which enables the formulation of learning quantum Hamiltonians as a polynomial optimization problem. This, in turn, can benefit from the use of moment/SOS relaxations, whose polynomial bit complexity requires careful analysis [O'Donnell, ITCS 2017]. Finally, we show that learning a $k$-local Hamiltonian, whose dual interaction graph is of bounded degree, runs in polynomial time under mild assumptions.
