abstract

As the search continues for useful applications of noisy intermediate scale quantum devices, variational simulations of fermionic systems remain one of the most promising directions. Here, we perform a series of quantum simulations of chemistry the largest of which involved a dozen qubits, 78 two-qubit gates, and 114 one-qubit gates. We model the binding energy of ${\rm H}_6$, ${\rm H}_8$, ${\rm H}_{10}$ and ${\rm H}_{12}$ chains as well as the isomerization of diazene. We also demonstrate error-mitigation strategies based on $N$-representability which dramatically improve the effective fidelity of our experiments. Our parameterized ansatz circuits realize the Givens rotation approach to non-interacting fermion evolution, which we variationally optimize to prepare the Hartree-Fock wavefunction. This ubiquitous algorithmic primitive corresponds to a rotation of the orbital basis and is required by many proposals for correlated simulations of molecules and Hubbard models. Because non-interacting fermion evolutions are classically tractable to simulate, yet still generate highly entangled states over the computational basis, we use these experiments to benchmark the performance of our hardware while establishing a foundation for scaling up more complex correlated quantum simulations of chemistry.

  1. Weak Poincar\'e Inequalities via Approximate Stochastic Localization: Application to Sampling the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick Model

    math.PR 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Approximate stochastic localization plus conductance transfers yield a weak Poincaré inequality for the SK model at β < 1/2, enabling efficient Glauber sampling from a warm start.

  2. Exploiting biased noise in variational quantum models

    quant-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Twirling amplitude-damping noise into uniform Pauli/depolarising channels reduces expressivity and gradient magnitudes, while preserving the noise bias yields better VQA optimisation in the studied models.

  3. Reducing the sampling complexity of energy estimation in quantum many-body systems using empirical variance information

    quant-ph 2025-02 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    An adaptive estimator based on empirical Bernstein stopping reduces the number of measurements needed to estimate ground-state energies with rigorous error bounds, by up to an order of magnitude in numerical benchmarks.

  4. Quantum Utility in Simulating the Real-time Dynamics of the Fermi-Hubbard Model using Superconducting Quantum Computers

    quant-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 104-qubit IBM quantum computer simulates the 1D Fermi-Hubbard model's staggered-magnetization dynamics with constant-depth Trotter circuits, matching MPS-TDVP up to time 4 but not at later times.
