• Abstract: The cascaded variational quantum eigensolver (CVQE) circumvents the need for iterative communication between the quantum and classical processing units that is necessary in the conventional VQE algorithm. While CVQE offers complete freedom to choose the guiding state as input, not all guiding states suffice for solution accuracy, as well as resource efficiency. Our work presents a process based on trapezoidal-state preparation for selecting guiding states that yield accurate many-electron ground-state solutions with minimal resource consumption. By analyzing the state probability distributions at different stages of the CVQE calculations, we determine the optimal guiding-state parameters for given resource constraints. We demonstrate the process by comparing electronic energies along the minimal-energy path for a prototypical bimolecular reaction, $\mathrm{H}_2 + \mathrm{H}_2^+ \rightarrow \mathrm{H}_3^+ + \mathrm{H}$, using Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) computing.

  Energy extraction from quantum sources is a key task to develop new quantum devices such as quantum batteries. One of the main issues to fully extract energy from the quantum source is the assumption that any unitary operation can be done on the system. We propose an approach to optimize the extractable energy inspired by the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.
