• Abstract: Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQEs) represent a promising approach to computing molecular ground states and energies on modern quantum computers. These approaches use a classical computer to optimize the parameters of a trial wave function, while the quantum computer simulates the energy by preparing and measuring a set of bitstring observations, referred to as shots, over which an expected value is computed. Although more shots improve the accuracy of the expected ground state, it also increases the simulation cost. Hence, we propose modifications to the standard Bayesian optimization algorithm to leverage few-shot circuit observations to solve VQEs with fewer quantum resources. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach, Bayesian optimization with priors on surface topology (BOPT), by comparing optimizers for molecular systems and demonstrate how current quantum hardware can aid in finding ground state energies.

  We report the implementation and performance of ADAPT-VQE with our sparse wavefunction circuit solver (SWCS) The SWCS can be tuned to balance computational cost and accuracy, which extends the application of ADAPT-VQE for molecular electronic structure calculations. By pre-optimizing a quantum simulation with a parameterized ansatz generated with ADAPT-VQE/SWCS, we aim to utilize the power of classical high-performance computing.

  Variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is regarded as a promising candidate of hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for quantum computers. We propose classically-optimized VQE (co-VQE), where the whole process of the optimization is efficiently conducted on a classical computer. In co-VQE, we only use quantum computers to measure nonlocal quantities after the parameters are optimized.
