• Abstract summary: Variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) solves the ground state problem of a given Hamiltonian by finding the parameters of a quantum circuit ansatz. We show that the proposed ansatz finds the ground state in depth significantly shorter than the bare HVA when the target Hamiltonian has symmetry-broken ground states.

• Abstract: Variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) solves the ground state problem of a given Hamiltonian by finding the parameters of a quantum circuit ansatz that minimizes the Hamiltonian expectation value. Among possible quantum circuit ans\"{a}tze, the Hamiltonian variational ansatz (HVA) is widely studied for quantum many-body problems as the ansatz with sufficiently large depth is theoretically guaranteed to express the ground state. However, since the HVA shares the same symmetry with the Hamiltonian, it is not necessarily good at finding the symmetry-broken ground states that prevail in nature. In this paper, we systematically explore the limitations of the HVA for solving symmetry-broken systems and propose an alternative quantum circuit ansatz with symmetry-breaking layers. With extensive numerical simulations, we show that the proposed ansatz finds the ground state in depth significantly shorter than the bare HVA when the target Hamiltonian has symmetry-broken ground states.

  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for quantum simulation that can run on near-term quantum hardware. A challenge in VQE is to know how close the algorithm's output solution is to the true ground state, when the true ground state and ground-state energy are unknown. Recent developments in Hamiltonian reconstruction give a metric can be used to assess the quality of a variational solution to a Hamiltonian-eigensolving problem.

We propose the effective quantum neural tangent kernel (EQNTK) to quantify the convergence of QNNs towards the global optima.

  Current devices only allow for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms with a shallow circuit depth, such as variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) In this study, we report the importance of the Hamiltonian symmetry in constructing VQE circuits adaptively. We demonstrate that symmetry-projection can provide a simple yet effective solution to this problem, by keeping the quantum state in the correct symmetry space, to reduce the overall gate operations.

  Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

  We apply the symmetry-adapted variational-quantum-eigensolver (VQE) to a two-component Fermi-Hubbard model on a bipartite lattice. In the extended VQE method, the Rayleigh quotient for the Hamiltonian and a parametrized quantum state in a properly chosen subspace is minimized. We show that spatial symmetry operations for fermions in an occupation basis can be expressed as a product of the nearest-neighbor fermionic swap operations on a quantum circuit.
