Overlap-ADAPT-VQE: Practical Quantum Chemistry on Quantum Computers via Overlap-Guided Compact Ansätze (2301.10196v3)

Published 24 Jan 2023 in quant-ph and physics.chem-ph

Abstract: ADAPT-VQE is a robust algorithm for hybrid quantum-classical simulations of quantum chemical systems on near-term quantum computers. While its iterative process systematically reaches the ground state energy, ADAPT-VQE is sensitive to local energy minima, leading to over-parameterized ans\"atze. We introduce the Overlap-ADAPT-VQE to grow wave-functions by maximizing their overlap with any intermediate target wave-function that already captures some electronic correlation. By avoiding building the ansatz in the energy landscape strewn with local minima, the Overlap-ADAPT-VQE produces ultra-compact ans\"atze suitable for high-accuracy initializations of a new ADAPT procedure. Spectacular advantages over ADAPT-VQE are observed for strongly correlated systems including massive savings in circuit depth. Since this compression strategy can also be initialized with accurate Selected-Configuration Interaction (SCI) classical target wave-functions, it paves the way for chemically accurate simulations of larger systems, and strengthens the promise of decisively surpassing classical quantum chemistry through the power of quantum computing.
