contents We bound the time necessary to implement the shift unitary on a one-dimensional ring, both using local Hamiltonians and those with power-law interactions. This time is constrained by the Frobenius light cone; hence we prove that (for certain power law exponents) shift unitaries cannot be implemented in the same amount of time needed to prepare long-range Bell pairs. We note an intriguing similarity between the proof of our results, and the hardness of preparing symmetry-protected topological states with symmetry-preserving Hamiltonians.
