• Abstract: We present the first implementation and computation of electron spin resonance isotropic hyperfine coupling constants (HFCs) on quantum hardware. As illustrative test cases, we compute the HFCs for the hydroxyl radical (OH$^{\bullet}$), nitric oxide (NO$^{\bullet}$), and the triplet hydroxyl cation (OH$^{+}$). Our approach integrates the qubit-ADAPT method with unrestricted orbital optimization in an active space framework. To accurately measure the necessary spin one-electron reduced density matrices on current hardware, we employ a combination of error mitigation, error suppression, and post-selection, including our in-house developed ansatz-based readout and gate error mitigation. The HFCs obtained from the quantum hardware experiments align with results from unrestricted complete active space self-consistent field calculations on classical hardware. These results mark a significant step towards leveraging quantum computing for chemically relevant molecular properties and highlight the critical role of multi-method error strategies in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era.

  The utility of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is often hindered by the limitations of current quantum hardware. We propose a low-depth ansatz based on parallelized Givens rotations, which can recover substantial correlation energy. Noiseless simulations using the new ansatz yield ground-state energies comparable to those from the UCCSD ansatz.

  A new Quantum Error Mitigation (QEM) technique uses Fuzzy C-Means clustering to specifically identify measurement error patterns. We report a proof-of-principle validation of the technique on a 2-qubit register, obtained as a subset of a real NISQ 5-qubit superconducting quantum processor. We demonstrate that the FCM-based QEM technique allows for reasonable improvement of the expectation values of single- and two-qubit gates based quantum circuits.

  We present an experimental demonstration of the Contextual Subspace Variational Quantum Eigensolver on superconducting quantum hardware. In particular, we compute the potential energy curve for molecular nitrogen, where a dominance of static correlation in the dissociation limit proves challenging for many conventional quantum chemistry techniques. Our quantum simulations retain good agreement with the full configuration interaction energy in the chosen STO-3G basis, outperforming all benchmarked single-reference wavefunction techniques in capturing the bond-breaking appropriately.

• Exploring the scaling limitations of the variational quantum eigensolver with the bond dissociation of hydride diatomic molecules [0.0]
  Materials simulations involving strongly correlated electrons pose fundamental challenges to state-of-the-art electronic structure methods. No quantum computer has simulated a molecule of a size and complexity relevant to real-world applications, despite the fact that the variational quantum eigensolver algorithm can predict chemically accurate total energies. We show that the inclusion of d-orbitals and the use of the UCCSD ansatz, which are both necessary to capture the correct TiH physics, dramatically increase the cost of this problem.

  We implement the quantum computed moments (QCM) approach for hydrogen chain molecular systems up to H$_6$. Results provide strong evidence for the error suppression capability of the QCM method, particularly when coupled with post-processing error mitigation. Greater emphasis on more efficient representations of the Hamiltonian and classical preprocessing steps may enable the solution of larger systems on near-term quantum processors.
