• Abstract: For many-body methods such as MCSCF and CASSCF, in which the number of one-electron orbitals are optimized and independent of basis set used, there are no problems with using plane-wave basis sets. However, for methods currently used in quantum computing such as select configuration interaction (CI) and coupled cluster (CC) methods, it is necessary to have a virtual space that is able to capture a significant amount of electron-electron correlation in the system. The virtual orbitals in a pseudopotential plane-wave Hartree--Fock calculation, because of Coulomb repulsion, are often scattering states that interact very weakly with the filled orbitals. As a result, very little correlation energy is captured from them. The use of virtual spaces derived from the one-electron operators have also been tried, and while some correlation is captured, the amount is quite low. To overcome these limitations, we have been developing new classes of algorithms to define virtual spaces by optimizing orbitals from small pairwise CI Hamiltonians, which we term as correlation optimized virtual orbitals with the abbreviation COVOs. With these procedures we have been able to derive virtual spaces, containing only a few orbitals, that are able to capture a significant amount of correlation. Besides, using these derived basis sets for quantum computing calculations targeting full CI (FCI) quality-results, they can also be used in other many-body approaches, including CC and M{\o}ller--Plesset perturbation theories, and open up the door to many-body calculations for pseudopotential plane-wave basis set methods. For the H$_2$ molecule, we were able to obtain good agreement with FCI/cc-pVTZ results with just 4 virtual orbitals, for both FCI and quantum simulations.

  Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE) are among the most promising approaches for solving electronic structure problems on quantum computers. A critical challenge for VQE in practice is that one needs to strike a balance between the expressivity of the VQE ansatz versus the number of quantum gates required to implement the ansatz. We run end-to-end VQE algorithms with up to 12 qubits and 72 variational parameters - the largest full VQE simulation with a correlated wave function on quantum hardware.

  Near-term quantum computers will be limited in the number of qubits on which they can process information as well as the depth of the circuits that they can coherently carry out. To-date, experimental demonstrations of algorithms such as the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) have been limited to small molecules using minimal basis sets. We propose incorporating an orbital optimization scheme into quantum eigensolvers wherein a parameterized partial unitary transformation is applied to the basis functions set.
