• Abstract: Calculating the observable properties of chemical systems is often classically intractable and is widely viewed as a promising application of quantum information processing. Yet one of the most common and important chemical systems in nature - the hydrogen bond - has remained a challenge to study using quantum hardware on account of its anharmonic potential energy landscape. Here, we introduce a framework for solving hydrogen-bond systems and more generic chemical dynamics problems using quantum logic. We experimentally demonstrate a proof-of-principle instance of our method using the QSCOUT ion-trap quantum computer, in which we experimentally drive the ion-trap system to emulate the quantum wavepacket of the shared-proton within a hydrogen bond. Following the experimental creation of the shared-proton wavepacket, we then extract measurement observables such as its time-dependent spatial projection and its characteristic vibrational frequencies to spectroscopic accuracy (3.3 cm$^{-1}$ wavenumbers, corresponding to > 99.9% fidelity). Our approach introduces a new paradigm for studying the quantum chemical dynamics and vibrational spectra of molecules, and when combined with existing algorithms for electronic structure, opens the possibility to describe the complete behavior of complex molecular systems with unprecedented accuracy.

  We investigate the nature of the orbital-wise electron correlations in wavefunctions of realistic cases classical or quantum. Our analysis reveals a notable distinction between classical and quantum mutual information in molecular systems. This finding suggests that wavefunction correlations, when viewed through the appropriate orbital basis, are predominantly classical.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

The observed random ensembles emerge from projective measurements and are intimately linked to universal correlations built up between subsystems of a larger quantum system. Our work has implications for understanding randomness in quantum dynamics, and enables applications of this concept in a wider context.
