If we can prepare a ground state efficiently, when can we prepare the second-lowest energy eigenstate?
I'd like to know if there's anything that can be said about whether and when we can efficiently prepare a state corresponding to the second-lowest eigenvalue of a given Hamiltonian, or in any other ...
