• Abstract: We propose a scheme to restore spatial symmetry of Hamiltonian in the variational-quantum-eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for which the quantum circuit structures used usually break the Hamiltonian symmetry. The symmetry-adapted VQE scheme introduced here simply applies the projection operator, which is Hermitian but not unitary, to restore the spatial symmetry in a desired irreducible representation of the spatial group. The entanglement of a quantum state is still represented in a quantum circuit but the nonunitarity of the projection operator is treated classically as postprocessing in the VQE framework. By numerical simulations for a spin-$1/2$ Heisenberg model on a one-dimensional ring, we demonstrate that the symmetry-adapted VQE scheme with a shallower quantum circuit can achieve significant improvement in terms of the fidelity of the ground state and has a great advantage in terms of the ground-state energy with decent accuracy, as compared to the non-symmetry-adapted VQE scheme. We also demonstrate that the present scheme can approximate low-lying excited states that can be specified by symmetry sectors, using the same circuit structure for the ground-state calculation.

  We propose an alternative paradigm for the symmetry-informed construction of variational quantum circuits. We achieve this by introducing horizontal quantum gates, which only transform the state with respect to the directions to those of the symmetry. For a particular subclass of horizontal gates based on symmetric spaces, we can obtain efficient circuit decompositions for our gates through the KAK theorem.

  Current devices only allow for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms with a shallow circuit depth, such as variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) In this study, we report the importance of the Hamiltonian symmetry in constructing VQE circuits adaptively. We demonstrate that symmetry-projection can provide a simple yet effective solution to this problem, by keeping the quantum state in the correct symmetry space, to reduce the overall gate operations.

  We apply the symmetry-adapted variational-quantum-eigensolver (VQE) to a two-component Fermi-Hubbard model on a bipartite lattice. In the extended VQE method, the Rayleigh quotient for the Hamiltonian and a parametrized quantum state in a properly chosen subspace is minimized. We show that spatial symmetry operations for fermions in an occupation basis can be expressed as a product of the nearest-neighbor fermionic swap operations on a quantum circuit.
