- Abstract summary: We describe a new and chemically intuitive approach that permits a subdomain of the electronic structure of a molecule to be calculated accurately on a quantum device.
We demonstrate that our method produces improved results for molecules that cannot be simulated fully on quantum computers but which can be resolved classically at a lower level of approximation.

- Abstract: Owing to the computational complexity of electronic structure algorithms
running on classical digital computers, the range of molecular systems amenable
to simulation remains tightly circumscribed even after many decades of work.
Quantum computers hold the promise of transcending such limitations although in
the current era the size and noise of these devices militates against
significant progress. Here we describe a new and chemically intuitive approach
that permits a subdomain of the electronic structure of a molecule to be
calculated accurately on a quantum device, while the rest of the molecule is
described at a lower level of accuracy using density functional theory running
on a classical computer. We demonstrate that our method produces improved
results for molecules that cannot be simulated fully on quantum computers but
which can be resolved classically at a lower level of approximation. Our
algorithm is tunable, so that the size of the quantum simulation can be
adjusted to run on available quantum resources. Therefore, as quantum devices
become larger, our method will enable increasingly large subdomains to be
studied accurately.

Given a quantum circuit containing d tunable RZ gates and G-d Clifford gates, can a learner perform purely classical inference to efficiently predict its linear properties?
We prove that the sample complexity scaling linearly in d is necessary and sufficient to achieve a small prediction error, while the corresponding computational complexity may scale exponentially in d.
We devise a kernel-based learning model capable of trading off prediction error and computational complexity, transitioning from exponential to scaling in many practical settings.
