are locally unique pure quantum states also ground states of some local hamiltonian?


Let H=iHi be some k-local hamiltonian with a unique ground state |ψ>. Then it is easily shown that |ψ> is k-locally distinguishable from any other state |ψ>.


Is the converse also true?


In other words assume |ψ> is a pure state such that for any other pure state |ψ> there exists a subset of qubits K s.t |K|k for a fixed k>1 and



tr[n]K(|ψ>)tr[n]K(|ψ>)


is it true that there exists some hamiltonian H=iHi where Hi acts on at most k qubits s.t |ψ> is the only ground state of H?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
