Quantum-Merlin-Arthur-complete problems for stoquastic Hamiltonians and Markov matrices

We show that finding the lowest eigenvalue of a 3-local symmetric stochastic matrix is Quantum-Merlin-Arthur-complete (QMA-complete). We also show that finding the highest energy of a stoquastic Hamiltonian is QMA-complete and that adiabatic quantum computation using certain excited states of a stoq...
