contents Quantum Max Cut (QMC), also known as the quantum anti-ferromagnetic Heisenberg model, is a QMA-complete problem relevant to quantum many-body physics and computer science. Semidefinite programming relaxations have been fruitful in designing theoretical approximation algorithms for QMC, but are computationally expensive for systems beyond tens of qubits. We give a second order cone relaxation for QMC, which optimizes over the set of mutually consistent three-qubit reduced density matrices. In combination with Pauli level-$1$ of the quantum Lasserre hierarchy, the relaxation achieves an approximation ratio of $0.526$ to the ground state energy. Our relaxation is solvable on systems with hundreds of qubits and paves the way to computationally efficient lower and upper bounds on the ground state energy of large-scale quantum spin systems.
