Hybrid Quantum-Classical Approach to Correlated Materials

Bela Bauer, Dave Wecker, Andrew J. Millis +2 more

Quantum computers promise to shed light on many areas of research that have proven too computationally expensive even for current supercomputers. Researchers show how a hybrid quantum-classical approach can be used to simulate strongly correlated materials, such as high-temperature superconductors and transition-metal oxides.

Demonstrating quantum computation for quasiparticle band structures

Takahiro Ohgoe, Hokuto Iwakiri, Masaya Kohda +4 more

Understanding and predicting the properties of solid-state materials from first principles has been a great challenge for decades. Owing to the recent advances in quantum technologies, quantum computations offer a promising way to achieve this goal. Here, we demonstrate the first-principles calculation of a quasiparticle band structure on actual quantum computers. This is achieved by hybrid quantum-classical algorithms in conjunction with qubit-reduction and error-mitigation techniques. Our demonstration will pave the way to practical applications of quantum computers. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Quantum Computation of a Quasiparticle Band Structure with the Quantum-Selected Configuration Interaction

Takahiro Ohgoe, Hokuto Iwakiri, Kazuhide Ichikawa +2 more

Quasiparticle band structures are fundamental for understanding strongly correlated electron systems. While solving these structures accurately on classical computers is challenging, quantum computing offers a promising alternative. Specifically, the quantum subspace expansion (QSE) method, combined with the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), provides a quantum algorithm for calculating quasiparticle band structures. However, optimizing the variational parameters in VQE becomes increasingly difficult as the system size grows, due to device noise, statistical noise, and the barren plateau problem. To address these challenges, we propose a hybrid approach that combines QSE with the quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) method for calculating quasiparticle band structures. QSCI may leverage the VQE ansatz as an input state but, unlike the standard VQE, it does not require full optimization of the variational parameters, making it more scalable for larger quantum systems. Based on this approach, we demonstrate the quantum computation of the quasiparticle band structure of a silicon using 16 qubits on an IBM quantum processor.
