Local-energy measurement verification

Uniformly sample one positive local term and measure the effect $h_j$. The averaged energy-flag effect on a witness is $H/M$, where $M$ is the number of terms. Repetition with a threshold halfway between the promised flag probabilities uses $O(M^2/(b-a{)}^2)$ witness registers for constant error. A spectral tensor-product analysis, as in QMA parallel repetition with entangled witnesses, proves soundness against entangled witnesses. Constant-locality positive operator-valued measures are efficiently implementable using one ancilla qubit.
