The problem 2-LOCAL HAMILTONIAN has been shown to be complete for the quantum
computational class QMA, see quant-ph/0406180. In this paper we show that this important
problem remains QMA-complete when the interactions of the 2-local Hamiltonian are
between qubits on a two-dimensional (2-D) square lattice. Our results are partially derived

The problem 2-LOCAL HAMILTONIAN has been shown to be complete for the quantum computational class QMA, see quant-ph/0406180. In this paper we show that this important problem remains QMA-complete when the interactions of the 2-local Hamiltonian are between qubits on a two-dimensional (2-D) square lattice. Our results are partially derived with novel perturbation gadgets that employ mediator qubits which allow us to manipulate k-local interactions. As a side result, we obtain that quantum adiabatic computation using 2-local interactions restricted to a 2-D square lattice is equivalent to the circuit model of quantum computation. Our perturbation method also shows how any stabilizer space associated with a k-local stabilizer (for constant k) can be generated as an approximate ground-space of a 2-local Hamiltonian.
