• Abstract: Reducing circuit depth is essential for implementing quantum simulations of electronic structure on near-term quantum devices. In this work, we propose a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) based perturbation theory algorithm to accurately simulate electron correlation of periodic materials with shallow ansatz circuits, which are generated from Adaptive Derivative-Assembled Pseudo-Trotter or Qubit-Excitation-based VQE calculations using a loose convergence criteria. Here, the major part of the electron correlation is described using the VQE ansatz circuit and the remaining correlation energy is described by either multireference or similarity transformation-based perturbation theory. Numerical results demonstrate that the new algorithms are able to accurately describe electron correlation of the LiH crystal with only one circuit parameter, in contrast with ~30 parameters required in the adaptive VQE to achieve the same accuracy. Meanwhile, for fixed-depth Ansatze, e.g. unitary coupled cluster, we demonstrate that the VQE-base perturbation theory provides an appealing scheme to improve their accuracy.

  We show an improved version of the adaptive variational quantum dynamics simulation (AVQDS) method, which we call AVQDS(T) The algorithm adaptively adds layers of disjoint unitary gates to the ansatz circuit so as to keep the McLachlan distance, a measure of the accuracy of the variational dynamics, below a fixed threshold. We also show a method based on eigenvalue truncation to solve the linear equations of motion for the variational parameters with enhanced noise resilience.

  Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE) are among the most promising approaches for solving electronic structure problems on quantum computers. A critical challenge for VQE in practice is that one needs to strike a balance between the expressivity of the VQE ansatz versus the number of quantum gates required to implement the ansatz. We run end-to-end VQE algorithms with up to 12 qubits and 72 variational parameters - the largest full VQE simulation with a correlated wave function on quantum hardware.
