- Quantum PCP conjecture is one of the most influential open problems in quantum complexity theory, which states that approximating the ground state energy for a sparse local Hamiltonian upto a constant is QMA-complete. However, even though the problem remains unsolved, weaker versions of it-such as the NLTS [FH13, ABN22] and NLSS [GG22] conjectures-have surfaced in the hope of providing evidence for QPCP. While the NLTS hamiltonians were first constructed in[ABN22], NLSS conjecture still remains unsolved. Weaker versions of the NLSS conjecture were addressed in [CCNN23, CCNN24], demonstrating that Clifford and almost-Clifford states-a subclass of sampleable states-have a lower energy bound on Hamiltonians prepared by conjugating the NLTS Hamiltonians from [ABN22]. In similar spirit, we construct a class of fermionic Hamilltonians for which energy of Gaussian states, a subclass of sampleable fermionic states, is bounded below by a constant. We adapt the technique used in [CCNN23] to our context.
