Abstract

Variational quantum algorithms (VQA) have been proposed as one of the most promising approaches to demonstrate quantum advantage on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. However, it has been unclear whether VQA algorithms can maintain quantum advantage under the intrinsic noise of the NISQ devices, which deteriorates the quantumness. Here we propose a measure, called \textit{fermionic nonlinearity}, to quantify the classical simulatability of quantum circuits designed for simulating fermionic Hamiltonians. Specifically, we construct a Monte-Carlo type classical algorithm based on the classical simulatability of fermionic linear optics, whose sampling overhead is characterized by the fermionic nonlinearity. As a demonstration of these techniques, we calculate the upper bound of the fermionic nonlinearity of a rotation gate generated by four-body fermionic interaction under the dephasing noise. Moreover, we estimate the sampling costs of the unitary coupled cluster singles and doubles (UCCSD) quantum circuits for hydrogen chains subject to the dephasing noise. We find that, depending on the error probability and atomic spacing, there are regions where the fermionic nonlinearity becomes very small or unity, and hence the circuits are classically simulatable. We believe that our method and results help to design quantum circuits for fermionic systems with potential quantum advantages.

Variational quantum algorithms are considered to be appealing applications of near-term quantum computers. However, it has been unclear whether they can outperform classical algorithms or not. To reveal their limitations, we must seek a technique to benchmark them on large-scale problems. Here we propose a perturbative approach for efficient benchmarking of variational quantum algorithms. The proposed technique performs perturbative expansion of a circuit consisting of Clifford and Pauli rotation gates, which is enabled by exploiting the classical simulatability of Clifford circuits. Our method can be applied to a wide family of parameterized quantum circuits consisting of Clifford gates and single-qubit rotation gates. The approximate optimal parameter obtained by the method can also serve as an initial guess for further optimizations on a quantum device. As the first application of the method, we perform a benchmark of so-called hardware-efficient-type ansatzes when they are applied to the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) of one-dimensional hydrogen chains up to H24, which corresponds to a 48-qubit system using a standard workstation. This is the largest scale benchmark of the VQE to the best of our knowledge and reveals the limitation of hardware-efficient-type ansatzes.

We show a certain kind of non-local operations can be simulated by sampling a set of local operations with a quasi-probability distribution when the task of a quantum circuit is to evaluate an expectation value of observables. Utilizing the result, we describe a strategy to decompose a two-qubit gate to a sequence of single-qubit operations. Required operations are projective measurement of a qubit in Pauli basis, and π/2 rotation around x, y, and z axes. The required number of sampling to get an expectation value of a target observable within an error of ϵ is roughly O(9 k /ϵ ²), where k is the number of ‘cuts’ performed. The proposed technique enables to perform ‘virtual’ gates between a distant pair of qubits, where there is no direct interaction and thus a number of swap gates are inevitable otherwise. It can also be utilized to improve the simulation of a large quantum computer with a small-sized quantum device, which is an idea put forward by Peng et al (2019 arXiv:1904.00102). This work can enhance the connectivity of qubits on near-term, noisy quantum computers.

Quantum computing leverages the quantum resources of superposition and entanglement to efficiently solve computational problems considered intractable for classical computers. Examples include calculating molecular and nuclear structure, simulating strongly interacting electron systems, and modeling aspects of material function. While substantial theoretical advances have been made in mapping these problems to quantum algorithms, there remains a large gap between the resource requirements for solving such problems and the capabilities of currently available quantum hardware. Bridging this gap will require a co-design approach, where the expression of algorithms is developed in conjunction with the hardware itself to optimize execution. Here we describe an extensible co-design framework for solving chemistry problems on a trapped-ion quantum computer and apply it to estimating the ground-state energy of the water molecule using the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) method. The controllability of the trapped-ion quantum computer enables robust energy estimates using the prepared VQE ansatz states. The systematic and statistical errors are comparable to the chemical accuracy, which is the target threshold necessary for predicting the rates of chemical reaction dynamics, without resorting to any error mitigation techniques based on Richardson extrapolation.

Quantum simulation of chemical systems is one of the most promising near-term applications of quantum computers. The variational quantum eigensolver, a leading algorithm for molecular simulations on quantum hardware, has a serious limitation in that it typically relies on a pre-selected wavefunction ansatz that results in approximate wavefunctions and energies. Here we present an arbitrarily accurate variational algorithm that, instead of fixing an ansatz upfront, grows it systematically one operator at a time in a way dictated by the molecule being simulated. This generates an ansatz with a small number of parameters, leading to shallow-depth circuits. We present numerical simulations, including for a prototypical strongly correlated molecule, which show that our algorithm performs much better than a unitary coupled cluster approach, in terms of both circuit depth and chemical accuracy. Our results highlight the potential of our adaptive algorithm for exact simulations with present-day and near-term quantum hardware.

The quantum simulation of quantum chemistry is a promising application of quantum computers. However, for N molecular orbitals, the O(N^4) gate complexity of performing Hamiltonian and unitary Coupled Cluster Trotter steps makes simulation based on such primitives challenging. We substantially reduce the gate complexity of such primitives through a two-step low-rank factorization of the Hamiltonian and cluster operator, accompanied by truncation of small terms. Using truncations that incur errors below chemical accuracy, we are able to perform Trotter steps of the arbitrary basis electronic structure Hamiltonian with O(N^3) gate complexity in small simulations, which reduces to O(N^2 logN) gate complexity in the asymptotic regime, while our unitary Coupled Cluster Trotter step has O(N^3) gate complexity as a function of increasing basis size for a given molecule. In the case of the Hamiltonian Trotter step, these circuits have O(N^2) depth on a linearly connected array, an improvement over the O(N^3) scaling assuming no truncation. As a practical example, we show that a chemically accurate Hamiltonian Trotter step for a 50 qubit molecular simulation can be carried out in the molecular orbital basis with as few as 4,000 layers of parallel nearest-neighbor two-qubit gates, consisting of fewer than 100,000 non-Clifford rotations. We also apply our algorithm to iron-sulfur clusters relevant for elucidating the mode of action of metalloenzymes.

Quantum computers promise to efficiently solve important problems that are intractable on a conventional computer. For quantum systems, where the dimension of the problem space grows exponentially, finding the eigenvalues of certain operators is one such intractable problem and remains a fundamental challenge. The quantum phase estimation algorithm can efficiently find the eigenvalue of a given eigenvector but requires fully coherent evolution. We present an alternative approach that greatly reduces the requirements for coherent evolution and we combine this method with a new approach to state preparation based on ans\"atze and classical optimization. We have implemented the algorithm by combining a small-scale photonic quantum processor with a conventional computer. We experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of this approach with an example from quantum chemistry: calculating the ground state molecular energy for He-H+, to within chemical accuracy. The proposed approach, by drastically reducing the coherence time requirements, enhances the potential of the quantum resources available today and in the near future.

We propose an efficient O(N2)-parameter ansatz that consists of a sequence of exponential operators, each of which is a unitary variant of Neuscamman's cluster Jastrow operator. The ansatz can also be derived as a decomposition of T2 amplitudes of the unitary coupled cluster with generalized singles and doubles, which gives a near full-CI energy. The proposed ansatz therefore can reproduce the uCCGSD energy, or rather will reach the exact full-CI energy because of the exponential operator product form. Because the cluster Jastrow operators are expressed by a product of number operators and the derived Pauli operator products, namely, the Jordan-Wigner strings, are all commutative, it does not require the Trotter approximation to implement to a quantum circuit and should be a good candidate for the variational quantum eigensolver algorithm of a near-term quantum computer. The accuracy of the ansatz was examined for dissociation of a nitrogen dimer, and compared with other existing O(N2)-parameter ansatzs. Not only the original ansatzs defined in the second-quantization form but also their Trotter-splitting variants, in which the cluster amplitudes are optimized to minimize the energy obtained with a few, typically single, Trotter steps, were examined by quantum circuit simulators.

We introduce a unitary coupled-cluster (UCC) ansatz termed k-UpCCGSD that is based on a family of sparse generalized doubles operators which provides an affordable and systematically improvable unitary coupled-cluster wavefunction suitable for implementation on a near-term quantum computer. k-UpCCGSD employs k products of the exponential of pair coupled-cluster double excitation operators (pCCD), together with generalized single excitation operators. We compare its performance in both efficiency of implementation and accuracy with that of the generalized UCC ansatz employing the full generalized single and double excitation operators (UCCGSD), as well as with the standard ansatz employing only single and double excitations (UCCCSD). k-UpCCGSD is found to show the best scaling for quantum computing applications, requiring a circuit depth of O(kN), compared with O(N³) for UCCGSD and O((N-η)² η) for UCCSD where N is the number of spin orbitals and \eta is the number of electrons. We analyzed the accuracy of these three ansätze by making classical benchmark calculations on the ground state and the first excited state of H4 (STO-3G, 6-31G), H2O (STO-3G), and N2 (STO-3G), making additional comparisons to conventional coupled cluster methods. The results for ground states show that k-UpCCGSD offers a good tradeoff between accuracy and cost, achieving chemical accuracy for lower cost of implementation on quantum computers than both UCCGSD and UCCSD. UCCGSD is also found to be more accurate than UCCSD, but at a greater cost for implementation. Excited states are calculated with an orthogonally constrained variational quantum eigensolver approach. This is seen to generally yield less accurate energies than for the corresponding ground states. We demonstrate that using a specialized multi-determinantal reference state constructed from classical linear response calculations allows these excited state energetics to be improved.

CVXPY is a domain-specific language for convex optimization embedded in Python. It allows the user to express convex optimization problems in a natural syntax that follows the math, rather than in the restrictive standard form required by solvers. CVXPY makes it easy to combine convex optimization with high-level features of Python such as parallelism and object-oriented design. CVXPY is available at http://www.cvxpy.org/ under the GPL license, along with documentation and examples.

We study the transition metal oxide molecules TiO and MnO using the recently developed auxiliary field quantum Monte Carlo approach [1]. This method maps the interacting many-body problem into a linear combination of non-interacting problems using a complex Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation, and controls the phase/sign problem using a trial wave function. It employs a random walk approach in Slater determinant space to project the ground state of the system, and uses much of the same machinery as density functional theory such as single particle basis and non-local pseudopotentials. In our calculations, we used a single Slater determinant trial wave function obtained from a density functional calculation, with no further optimization. The calculated dissociation energies are in good agreement with experiments. These together with previous results show the robustness of the method for studying sp- as well as d-bonded atoms, and molecules. Calculations of other observables and correlation functions will also be discussed. [1] S. Zhang and H. Krakauer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 126401 (2003).

The error in the energy of the traditional coupled-cluster (TCC) approach and of several variants is analyzed in terms of the error of the cluster operatorS. A key feature of this analysis is that TCC can be based on an energy functional (asymmetric inS andS ) that is made stationary with respect to variation ofS . The error of TCC scales with the particle numbern, but it is not quadratic in . An improved coupled-cluster method (ICC) is presented that is the next step in a hierarchy from TCC to an exact variational theory. An alternative hierarchy is possible that leads to the extended coupled-cluster (ECC) method of Arponen. Variational (VCC) and unitary (UCC) coupled cluster theories and their stationary conditions and errors are analyzed along similar lines and practicable VCC or UCC approaches are presented. An infinite summation of certain terms in the VCC expectation value is shown to lead to a coupled-pair functional of the type proposed by Ahlrichs. The various CC schemes discussed here are compared on the CC-D, CC-SD and CC-SDT levels and beyond this. Special aspects referring to properties are also discussed.

New coupled-cluster methods (UCC(n)) for correlation energies and properties are developed based upon a unitary cluster ansatz and a finite-order truncation of the energy functional. These methods are shown to satisfy exactly the generalized Hellmann-Feynman theorem which facilitates the evaluation of molecular properties as derivatives of the energy. The relationship to the expectation value (XCC(n)) approach is discussed, demonstrating that UCC(n) may be obtained from XCC(n) provided that a symmetric cancellation of higher-order terms is introduced.
