Summary of the stability results for dynamical and equilibrium many-body problems, together with the required assumptions on the many-body model and errors

Problem Error Assumption Observable Stability, f(δ)
Dynamics General errors GF: None. GF: k-local observables. GF: O(δt).
SS: None. SS: k − local observables. SS: O(δtd+1). (Established in ref. 38 for Markovian errors).
Ground state Coherent Hamiltonian errors GF: Assumption 1. GF: Translationally invariant k − local observables. GF: O(δβ), where β is a model dependent constant. (Established in ref. 37 for gapped models).
SS: Stable gap. SS: Local observables SS: O(δ) (Established in ref. 54).
Gibbs state Coherent Hamiltonian errors GF: No assumption. GF: Translationally invariant k − local observables. GF: O(δ).
SS: Stably exponentially clustered correlations. SS: Local observables. SS: O(δlogd(1/δ)). (Established in ref. 46).
Fixed points GF: Coherent and Incoherent Markovian errors. GF: Assumption 2. GF: Translationally invariant k − local observables GF: O(δβ), where β is a model dependent constant.
SS: General errors SS: Rapid Mixing. SS: Local observables SS: O(δ). (Established in ref. 38 for Markovian errors).

Both results for Gaussian fermions and spin systems are summarized—“GF” indicates Gaussian fermions and ‘SS’ indicates spin systems. Note that observables for the Gaussian fermionic problems are all quadratic.
