We study the power of quantum witnesses under perfect completeness. We construct a classical oracle relative to which a language lies in $\mathsf{QMA}_1$ but not in $\mathsf{QCMA}$ when the $\mathsf{QCMA}$ verifier is only allowed polynomially many adaptive rounds and exponentially many parallel queries per round. Additionally, we derandomize the permutation-oracle separation of Fefferman and Kimmel, obtaining an in-place oracle separation between $\mathsf{QMA}_1$ and $\mathsf{QCMA}$. Furthermore, we focus on $\mathsf{QCMA}$ and $\mathsf{QMA}$ with an exponentially small gap, where we show a separation assuming the gap is fixed, but not when it may be arbitrarily small. Finally, we derive consequences for approximate ground-state preparation from sparse Hamiltonian oracle access, including a bounded-adaptivity frustration-free variant.
