• Abstract: Finding and probing the ground states of spin lattices, such as the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice (KAFH), is a very challenging problem on classical computers and only possible for relatively small systems. We propose using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) to find the ground state of the KAFH on a quantum computer. We find efficient ansatz circuits and show how physically interesting observables can be measured efficiently. To investigate the expressiveness and scaling of our ansatz circuits we used classical, exact simulations of VQE for the KAFH for different lattices ranging from 8 to 24 qubits. We find that the fidelity with the ground state approaches one exponentially in the circuit depth for all lattices considered, except for a 24-qubit lattice with an almost degenerate ground state. We conclude that VQE circuits that are able to represent the ground state of the KAFH on lattices inaccessible to exact diagonalisation techniques may be achievable on near term quantum hardware. However, for large systems circuits with many variational parameters are needed to achieve high fidelity with the ground state.

  Quantum many-body problems are central to demystifying some exotic quantum phenomena, e.g., high-temperature superconductors. The combination of neural networks (NN) for representing quantum states, and the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) algorithm, has been shown to be a promising method for solving such problems. We propose a NN architecture called Vector-Quantized Neural Quantum States (VQ-NQS) that utilizes vector-quantization techniques to leverage redundancies in the local-energy calculations of the VMC algorithm.

  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is a promising method to study ground state properties in quantum chemistry, materials science, and condensed physics. Here, we propose an Orbital Expansion VQE(OE-VQE) framework to construct an efficient convergence path. The path starts from a highly correlated compact active space and rapidly expands and converges to the ground state, enabling ground states with much shallower quantum circuits.
