Abstracts: Whether the class QMA (Quantum Merlin Arthur) is equal to QMA1, or QMA with onesided error, has been an open problem for years. This note helps to explain why the problem is difficult, by using ideas from real analysis to give a “quantum oracle” relative to which QMA = QMA1. As a byproduct, we find that there are facts about quantum complexity classes that are classically relativizing but not quantumly relativizing, among them such “trivial” containments as BQP not equal to ZQEXP.
Key words: quantum Merlin Authur
