• Abstract: Application of current and near-term quantum hardware to the electronic structure problem is highly limited by qubit counts, coherence times, and gate fidelities. To address these restrictions within the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) framework, many recent contributions have suggested dressing the electronic Hamiltonian to include a part of electron correlation, leaving the rest to be accounted by VQE state preparation. We present a new dressing scheme that combines preservation of the Hamiltonian hermiticity and an exact quadratic truncation of the Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff expansion. The new transformation is constructed as the exponent of an involutory linear combination (ILC) of anti-commuting Pauli products. It incorporates important strong correlation effects in the dressed Hamiltonian and can be viewed as a classical preprocessing step alleviating the resource requirements of the subsequent VQE application. The assessment of the new computational scheme for electronic structure of the LiH, H$_2$O, and N$_2$ molecules shows significant increase in efficiency compared to conventional qubit coupled cluster dressings.

We introduce auxiliary Hamiltonians that vanish at the beginning and end of the evolution to increase the energy gap during the process. We achieve a substantial reduction in the ground-state error with just six variational parameters and a duration within the device coherence times.

• Growth reduction of similarity transformed electronic Hamiltonians in qubit space [0.0]
  One approach to relieving the circuit depth requirements for VQE is to "pre-process" the electronic Hamiltonian. This often comes at the price of a substantial increase in the number of terms to measure in the similarity transformed Hamiltonian. We propose an efficient approach to sampling elements from the complete Pauli group for $N$ qubits which minimize the onset of new terms in the transformed Hamiltonian.

• Quantum simulation of electronic structure with a transcorrelated Hamiltonian: improved accuracy with a smaller footprint on the quantum computer [2.640996411999115]
  Quantum simulations of electronic structure with a transformed Hamiltonian that includes some electron correlation effects are demonstrated. A transcorrelated Hamiltonian, paired with extremely compact bases, produces explicitly correlated energies comparable to those from much larger bases. The use of the very compact transcorrelated Hamiltonian reduces the number of CNOT gates required to achieve cc-pVTZ quality by up to two orders of magnitude, and the number qubits by a factor of three.

We employ the double unitary coupled-cluster (DUCC) method to effectively downfold correlation effects into the reduced-size orbital space. Using downfolding techniques, we demonstrate that properly constructed effective Hamiltonians can capture the effect of the whole orbital space in small-size active spaces.

  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
