In terms of computational complexity\nthe ory\, a common focus in this area has been to estimate a given\nHamiltonia n’s ground state energy. However\, from a physics\nperspective\, it is o ften more relevant to understand the structure of\nthe ground space itself . In this paper\, we pursue the latter direction\nby introducing the notio n of “ground state connectivity” of local\n DTSTAMP:20250523T203718Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
