  • We explain how the maximum energy of the Quantum MaxCut, XY, and EPR Hamiltonians on a graph $G$ are related to the spectral radii of the token graphs of $G$. From numerical study, we conjecture new bounds for these spectral radii based on properties of $G$. We show how these conjectures tighten the analysis of existing algorithms, implying state-of-the-art approximation ratios for all three Hamiltonians. Our conjectures also provide simple combinatorial bounds on the ground state energy of the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, which we prove for bipartite graphs.
