• Abstract: One of the most promising applications of noisy intermediate-scale quantum computers is the simulation of molecular Hamiltonians using the variational quantum eigensolver. We show that encoding symmetries of the simulated Hamiltonian in the VQE ansatz reduces both classical and quantum resources compared to other, widely available ansatze. Through simulations of the H$_2$ molecule, we verify that these improvements persist in the presence of noise. This simulation is performed with IBM software using noise models from real devices. We also demonstrate how these techniques can be used to find molecular excited states of various symmetries using a noisy processor. We use error mitigation techniques to further improve the quality of our results.

• Simulating strongly interacting Hubbard chains with the Variational Hamiltonian Ansatz on a quantum computer [0.0]
  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) has been implemented to study molecules and condensed matter systems on small size quantum computers. We try to answer the question: how much of the underlying physics of a 1D Hubbard chain is described by a problem-inspired Variational Hamiltonian Ansatz (VHA) in a broad range of parameter values. Our findings suggest that even low fidelity solutions capture energy and number of doubly occupied sites well, while spin-spin correlations are not well captured even when the solution is of high fidelity.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
