• Abstract: In the near future, material and drug design may be aided by quantum computer assisted simulations. These have the potential to target chemical systems intractable by the most powerful classical computers. However, the resources offered by contemporary quantum computers are still limited, restricting the chemical simulations to very simple molecules. In order to rapidly scale up to more interesting molecular systems, we propose the embedding of the quantum electronic structure calculation into a classically computed environment obtained at the Hartree-Fock (HF) or Density Functional Theory (DFT) level of theory. We achieve this by constructing an effective Hamiltonian that incorporates a mean field potential describing the action of the inactive electrons on a selected Active Space (AS). The ground state of the AS Hamiltonian is determined by means of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm. With the proposed iterative DFT embedding scheme we are able to obtain energy correction terms for a single pyridine molecule that outperform the Complete Active Space Self Consistent Field (CASSCF) results regardless of the chosen AS.

  Folded Spectrum (FS) method as extension to Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for computation of molecular excited states. Inspired by the variance-based methods from the Quantum Monte Carlo literature, the FS method minimizes the energy variance, thus requiring a computationally expensive squared Hamiltonian. We apply the FS-VQE method to small molecules for a significant reduction of the computational cost.

  Materials simulations involving strongly correlated electrons pose fundamental challenges to state-of-the-art electronic structure methods. No quantum computer has simulated a molecule of a size and complexity relevant to real-world applications, despite the fact that the variational quantum eigensolver algorithm can predict chemically accurate total energies. We show that the inclusion of d-orbitals and the use of the UCCSD ansatz, which are both necessary to capture the correct TiH physics, dramatically increase the cost of this problem.
