• Abstract: We present a measurement-cost efficient implementation of Strongly-Contracted $N$-Electron Valence Perturbation Theory (SC-NEVPT2) for use on near-term quantum devices. At the heart of our algorithm we exploit the properties of adaptive Informationally Complete positive operator valued measures (IC-POVMs) to recycle the measurement outcomes from a ground state energy estimation on a quantum device to reconstruct the matrix elements of the three- and four-body reduced density matrices for use in a subsequent CPU-driven NEVPT2 calculation. The proposed scheme is capable of producing results in good agreement with corresponding conventional NEVPT2 simulations, while significantly reducing the cost of quantum measurements and allowing for embarrassingly parallel estimations of higher-order RDMs in classical post-processing. Our scheme shows favourable scaling of the total number of shots with respect to system size. This paves the way for routine inclusion of dynamic electron correlation effects in hybrid quantum-classical computing pipelines.

  We develop a novel quantum algorithm for neutron-nucleus simulations with general potentials. It provides acceptable bound-state energies even in the presence of noise, through the noise-resilient training method. We introduce a new commutativity scheme called distance-grouped commutativity (DGC) and compare its performance with the well-known qubit-commutativity scheme.

  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.

  We propose a general quantum circuit for Moller-Plesset perturbation theory (MPPT) calculations. MPPT is a popular and powerful post-Hartree-Fock method widly harnessed in solving electronic structure problems. In imitation of the classical MPPT, our approach is non-heuristic, guaranteeing that all parameters in the circuit are directly determined by the given Hartree-Fock results.
