A prescreening method for variational quantum state eigensolver

The development of Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer (FTQC) gradually raises a possibility to implement the Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) algorithm. However, QPE works only for normalized systems. This requires the minimum and maximum of eigenvalues of a Hamiltonian. Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) well developed in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era is necessary for preparing the initial eigenvectors that close to the exact states. In this paper, we propose a method to derive all of the states with high accuracy by using the Variational Quantum State Eigensolver (VQSE) and Subspace-Search VQE (SSVQE) methods. We show that by using the VQSE and the SSVQE prescreening methods, we can derive all of the hydrogen molecules states correctly.

Evaluation on Genetic Algorithms as an optimizer of Variational Quantum Eigensolver(VQE) method

Variational-Quantum-Eigensolver(VQE) method on a quantum computer is a well-known hybrid algorithm to solve the eigenstates and eigenvalues that uses both quantum and classical computers. This method has the potential to solve quantum chemical simulation including polymer and complex optimization problems that are never able to be solved in a realistic time. Though they are many papers on VQE, there are many hurdles before practical application. Therefore, we tried to evaluate VQE methods with Genetic Algorithms(GA). In this paper, we propose the VQE method with GA. We selected ground and excited-state energy on hydrogen molecules as the target because there are many local minimum values on excited states though the molecular structure is extremely simple. Therefore it is not easy to find the energy of states. We compared the GA method with other methods from the viewpoint of log error of the ground, triplet, singlet, and doubly excited state energy value. As a result, we denoted that the BFGS method has the highest accuracy. We thought that rcGA used as an optimization for the VQE method was proved disappointing. The rcGA does not show an advantage compared to other methods. we suggest that the cause is due to initial convergence. In the future, we want to try to introduce Genetic Algorithms then local search.

Genetic-Multi-initial Generalized VQE: Advanced VQE method using Genetic Algorithms then Local Search

Variational-Quantum-Eigensolver (VQE) method has been known as the method of chemical calculation using quantum computers and classical computers. This method also can derive the energy levels of excited states by Variational-Quantum-Deflation (VQD) method. Although, parameter landscape of excited state have many local minimums that the results are tend to be trapped by them. Therefore, we apply Genetic Algorithms then Local Search (GA then LS) as the classical optimizer of VQE method. We performed the calculation of ground and excited states and their energies on hydrogen molecule by modified GA then LS. Here we uses Powell, Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno, Nelder-Mead and Newton method as an optimizer of LS. We obtained the result that Newton method can derive ground and excited states and their energies in higher accuracy than others. We are predicting that newton method is more effective for seed up and be more accurate.

Frame Superposition Cluster: The method to derive the transition matrices in high accuracy

Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) method is the way to derive the wave functions from their eigen energies using quantum computers. But, the methods to utilize the superposition states between them haven't been developed yet. The method to calculate the off diagonal element of observables between two states derived by VQE method requires large numbers of gate operations for Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. We proposed the novel method to drive the superposition state between the states the derived by VQE method. We call it Frame superposition cluster (FSC) method. Using the method, we confirmed that dipole transition moment could be calculated with the highest accuracy compared to other methods.

Effect of constraint and Tabu Search term on Variational Quantum Eigensolver and Subspace-Search Variational Quantum Eigensolver

Subspace-Search Variational Quantum Eigen solver (SSVQE) is a searching method of multiple states and relies on the unitarity of transformations to ensure the orthogonality of output states for multiple states. Therefore, this method is thought to be a promising method for quantum chemistry because ordinary Variational Quantum Eigen solver (VQE) can only calculate the excited states step by step from the ground state based on Variational Quantum deflation (VQD). We compare the advantage of VQE, SSVQE with/without the constraint term and/or Tabu search term, which is added by the Lagrange multiplier method so as to calculate the desired energy levels. We evaluated the advantage by calculating each level of H2 and HeH, respectively. As there simulation results, the accuracy calculated by constrained VQE with Tabu search indicates higher accuracy than that of our other algorithm, for analysis on H2. The accuracy calculated by constrained SSVQE indicates higher that of the constrained VQE with Tabu search. We found it is beneficial for enhancing the accuracy to use constraint terms decreasing convergence times to use Tabu search terms according to the nature of molecules. We demonstrate that constraint and Tabu search terms contribute to the accuracy and convergence time on quantum chemical calculating.
