Full talk title: First steps in intermediate scale quantum chemistry on superconducting quantum computers
Author: Nicholas Rubin
Abstract: Determining whether near-term quantum resources can aid in quantum chemical simulation is an important question for determining the utility of today’s quantum hardware. The work we present here takes steps towards describing the role of NISQ quantum computation in chemical simulation by focusing on the performance of an algorithmic primitive for simulating fermionic systems. In the process of this verification, we demonstrate the simulation of a chemistry model that is significantly larger than previous implementations on any quantum computing platform. Our experiments run on the Sycamore chip achieves chemical accuracy upon application of an error mitigation scheme based on pure-state representability. Most importantly we describe methods for going beyond this circuit primitive improving the model chemistry.
