• Abstract: The iterative quantum phase estimation algorithm, applied to calculating the ground state energies of quantum chemical systems, is theoretically appealing in its wide scope of being able to handle both weakly and strongly correlated regimes. However, the goodness of the initial state that is sent as an input to the algorithm could strongly decide the quality of the results obtained. In this work, we generate the initial state by using the classical-quantum hybrid variational quantum eigensolver algorithm with unitary coupled cluster ansatz. We apply the procedure to obtain the ground state energies of the H4 molecule on a circle, as the system exhibits an interplay of dynamic as well as static correlation effects at different geometries. Furthermore, we argue on the importance of static correlation in construction of the reference determinant, and propose a minimally parametrized unitary coupled cluster ansatz, which drastically reduces number of variational parameters while incorporating the static correlation effects in the wavefunction. We demonstrate that a carefully and appropriately prepared initial state can greatly reduce the effects of noise due to sampling in the estimation of the desired eigenphase.

We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
