活性空间下折哈密顿量对激发态的量子模拟

Quantum simulations of excited states with active-space downfolded Hamiltonians

Nicholas P. Bauman, Guang Hao Low, Karol Kowalski

摘要:

基于双幺正耦合团簇模型(DUCC)的多体技术可以将电子哈密顿量降折到低维的活性空间。可以表明,所得到的降维哈密顿量适合于量子计算。最近使用量子相位估计(QPE)算法对几个基准系统进行的研究表明,这些配方可以恢复很大一部分基态动力学相关效应,这些效应源于活动空间外的电子激发。这些结果也已在使用量子模拟器的基态势能面的研究中得到证实。在这封信中,我们研究的有效性DUCC形式主义在描述激发态。我们还强调了QPE形式主义及其随机性质的作用,发现/识别激发态或激发态过程的情况下,知识的真正的构型结构的追求后激发态是有限的或假设(由于特定的物理驱动激发态过程的兴趣)。在这种情况下,我们可以将QPE算法视为验证激发态过程的各种假设并提供统计上有意义的结果的引擎,这些结果对应于与假设的构型结构具有最大重叠的电子状态。我们说明这些想法的例子强相关的分子系统,其特征在于小的能隙和高密度的准简并态周围的费米能级。

英文摘要:

Many-body techniques based on the double unitary coupled cluster ansatz (DUCC) can be used to downfold electronic Hamiltonians into low-dimensional active spaces. It can be shown that the resulting dimensionality reduced Hamiltonians are amenable for quantum computing. Recent studies performed for several benchmark systems using quantum phase estimation (QPE) algorithms demonstrated that these formulations can recover a significant portion of ground-state dynamical correlation effects that stem from the electron excitations outside of the active space. These results have also been confirmed in studies of ground-state potential energy surfaces using quantum simulators. In this letter, we study the effectiveness of the DUCC formalism in describing excited states. We also emphasize the role of the QPE formalism and its stochastic nature in discovering/identifying excited states or excited-state processes in situations when the knowledge about the true configurational structure of a sought after excited state is limited or postulated (due to the specific physics driving excited-state processes of interest). In this context, we can view the QPE algorithm as an engine for verifying various hypotheses for excited-state processes and providing statistically meaningful results that correspond to the electronic state(s) with the largest overlap with a postulated configurational structure. We illustrate these ideas on examples of strongly correlated molecular systems, characterized by small energy gaps and high density of quasi-degenerate states around the Fermi level.
