• Abstract: In this educational paper, we will discuss calculations on the hydrogen molecule both on classical and quantum computers. In the former case, we will discuss the calculation of molecular integrals that can then be used to calculate potential energy curves at the Hartree--Fock level and to correct them by obtaining the exact results for all states in the minimal basis. Some aspects of spin-symmetry will also be discussed. In the case of quantum computing, we will start out from the second-quantized Hamiltonian and qubit mappings. Using quantum phase estimation, we then provide the circuits for two different algorithms: Trotteization and qubitization. Finally, the significance of quantum error correction will be briefly discussed.

  Folded Spectrum (FS) method as extension to Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm for computation of molecular excited states. Inspired by the variance-based methods from the Quantum Monte Carlo literature, the FS method minimizes the energy variance, thus requiring a computationally expensive squared Hamiltonian. We apply the FS-VQE method to small molecules for a significant reduction of the computational cost.
