• Abstract summary: partitioning of the Hilbert space greatly reduces the number of variational operators. A single-term representation suffices to reach required accuracy for various molecules tested. The number of controlled-NOT gates, a measure of the quantum-circuit depth, is reduced by a factor of as large as 35.

• Abstract: Development of resource-friendly quantum algorithms remains highly desirable for noisy intermediate-scale quantum computing. Based on the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) with unitary coupled cluster ansatz, we demonstrate that partitioning of the Hilbert space made possible by the point group symmetry of the molecular systems greatly reduces the number of variational operators by confining the variational search within a subspace. In addition, we found that instead of including all subterms for each excitation operator, a single-term representation suffices to reach required accuracy for various molecules tested, resulting in an additional shortening of the quantum circuit. With these strategies, VQE calculations on a noiseless quantum simulator achieve energies within a few meVs of those obtained with the full UCCSD ansatz for $\mathrm{H}_4$ square, $\mathrm{H}_4$ chain and $\mathrm{H}_6$ hexagon molecules; while the number of controlled-NOT (CNOT) gates, a measure of the quantum-circuit depth, is reduced by a factor of as large as 35. Furthermore, we introduced an efficient "score" parameter to rank the excitation operators, so that the operators causing larger energy reduction can be applied first. Using $\mathrm{H}_4$ square and $\mathrm{H}_4$ chain as examples, We demonstrated on noisy quantum simulators that the first few variational operators can bring the energy within the chemical accuracy, while additional operators do not improve the energy since the accumulative noise outweighs the gain from the expansion of the variational ansatz.

  Energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries. One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system. We propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm.

  A quantum-classical hybrid optimization scheme known as the variational quantum eigensolver(VQE) is preferred for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices.
