• Abstract: Quantum algorithms for molecular electronic structure have been developed with lower computational scaling than their classical counterparts, but emerging quantum hardware is far from being capable of the coherence,connectivity and gate errors required for their experimental realization. Here we propose a class of quantum-classical hybrid algorithms that compute the energy from a two-electron reduced density matrix (2-RDM). The 2-RDM is constrained by $N$-representability conditions, conditions for representing an $N$-electron wavefunction, that mitigates noise from the quantum circuit. We compute the strongly correlated dissociation of doublet H$_{3}$ into three hydrogen atoms. The hybrid quantum-classical computer matches the energies from full configuration interaction to 0.1 kcal/mol, one-tenth of "chemical accuracy," even in the strongly correlated limit of dissociation. Furthermore, the spatial locality of the computed one-electron RDM reveals that the quantum computer accurately predicts the Mott metal-insulator transition.

  We introduce reduced density matrix (RDM) based second order theory (PT2) as an energetic correction to electron pair approximation. The new approach takes into account the broken-pair energy contribution that is missing in pair-correlated electron simulations. On two generations of the IonQ's trapped ion quantum computers, Aria and Forte, we find that unlike the VQE energy, the PT2 energy correction is highly noise-resilient.

  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.
