abstract

We generalize the existing finite-size criteria for spectral gaps of frustration-free spin systems to $D>2$ dimensions. We obtain a local gap threshold of $\frac{3}{n}$, independent of $D$, for nearest-neighbor interactions. The $\frac{1}{n}$ scaling persists for arbitrary finite-range interactions in $\mathbb Z^3$. The key observation is that there is more flexibility in Knabe's combinatorial approach if one employs the operator Cauchy-Schwarz inequality.

  1. Random unitary circuits with constant spectral gap

    quant-ph 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0 of 10

    Constant-depth brickwork random unitary circuits and random Pauli rotations on n qubits have constant spectral gap, independent of n and uniform over all unitary representations.

  2. The bulk spectral gap is semi-decidable: a convergent family of certified upper bounds

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A family of SDP-derived certified upper bounds converges to the bulk spectral gap, proving it semi-decidable for quantum lattice systems.

  3. Improved local spectral gap thresholds for lattices of finite dimension

    quant-ph 2019-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For frustration-free Hamiltonians on any finite-dimensional lattice, the minimum spectral gap of any rectangular region is O(γ + 1/t²) where t is the shortest side length, improving previous thresholds.
