• Abstract: The computation of interaction energies on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers appears to be challenging with straightforward application of existing quantum algorithms. For example, use of the standard supermolecular method with the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) would require extremely precise resolution of the total energies of the fragments to provide for accurate subtraction to the interaction energy. Here we present a symmetry-adapted perturbation theory (SAPT) method that may provide interaction energies with high quantum resource efficiency. Of particular note, we present a quantum extended random-phase approximation (ERPA) treatment of the SAPT second-order induction and dispersion terms, including exchange counterparts. Together with previous work on first-order terms, this provides a recipe for complete SAPT(VQE) interaction energies up to second order. The SAPT interaction energy terms are computed as first-level observables with no subtraction of monomer energies invoked, and the only quantum observations needed are the the VQE one- and two-particle density matrices. We find empirically that SAPT(VQE) can provide accurate interaction energies even with coarsely optimized, low circuit depth wavefunctions from the quantum computer, simulated through ideal statevectors. The errors on the total interaction energy are orders of magnitude lower than the corresponding VQE total energy errors of the monomer wavefunctions.

  We introduce reduced density matrix (RDM) based second order theory (PT2) as an energetic correction to electron pair approximation. The new approach takes into account the broken-pair energy contribution that is missing in pair-correlated electron simulations. On two generations of the IonQ's trapped ion quantum computers, Aria and Forte, we find that unlike the VQE energy, the PT2 energy correction is highly noise-resilient.
