📝 Abstract
While quantum interactive proof systems using at least three messages can achieve perfect completeness, as shown by Kitaev and Watrous (STOC 2000), whether perfect completeness is achievable for one- and two-message quantum proof systems has remained open. For the one-message case, whether $\sf QMA$ can achieve perfect completeness was posed as an open problem in Watrous (FOCS 2000) and Aharonov and Naveh (2002); for the two-message case, the corresponding problems were (implicitly) posed in Jain, Upadhyay, and Watrous~(FOCS 2009) and Kobayashi, Le Gall, and Nishimura (SICOMP, 2019). In this work, we establish that ${\sf QIP}(2)$, ${\rm qq}\text{-}{\sf QAM}$, $\sf QAM$, and $\sf QMA$ can achieve perfect completeness. Here ${\rm qq}\text{-}{\sf QAM}$ denotes the class of promise problems admitting two-message quantum-public-coin quantum interactive proof systems in which the verifier's only message consists of half-EPR pairs. Our main technical contributions are the follows: 1. For $\sf QMA$ (and directly for $\sf QAM$), an exactly constructible block-encoded matrix whose kernel certifies yes instances, constructed from the acceptance operator induced by the verification circuit. 2. For ${\sf QIP}(2)$ (and implicitly ${\rm qq}\text{-}{\sf QAM}$), a new turn-halving transformation that preserves completeness and ensures that the resulting proof system retains at least two messages, provided that the terminal state before the final measurement is efficiently preparable.
