About this paper

Yan Ru Pei

The paper distinguishes knowing a planted Ising instance’s ground-state energy from finding its spin configuration. For three-dimensional tile instances, local cell minima make the planted energy computable in linear time, while compatibility among those minima makes the decision problem NP-complete and finding a ground state on every planted instance NP-hard. These are worst-case results, not claims about typical instances.
