摘要:

变分量子本征求解器(VQE)是目前在近期量子计算机上求解电子结构问题的旗舰算法。这种混合量子/经典算法涉及在量子硬件上实现一系列参数化门以生成目标量子态,然后测量分子哈密顿量的期望值。由于有限的相干时间和频繁的门错误,可以实现的门的数量在当前的量子设备上仍然有限,从而阻止了对具有显著纠缠的系统(例如强相关分子)的精确应用。在这项工作中,我们提出了一种替代算法(我们称之为ctrl-VQE),其中用于状态准备的量子线路被完全移除,并由量子控制例程取代,该量子控制例程变化地形成脉冲以驱动初始Hartree-Fock状态到完全CI目标状态。与VQE一样,优化的目标函数是量子比特映射分子哈密顿量的期望值。然而,通过去除量子线路,状态准备所需的相干时间可以通过直接优化脉冲而大幅减少。我们证明了这种方法的潜力数值直接优化脉冲形状,准确地模拟氢分子(共价键)和氦氢化物离子(离子键)的解离曲线,我们计算单点能量LiH与四个transmons。

英文摘要:

The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is currently the flagship algorithm for solving electronic structure problems on near-term quantum computers. This hybrid quantum/classical algorithm involves implementing a sequence of parameterized gates on quantum hardware to generate a target quantum state, and then measuring the expectation value of the molecular Hamiltonian. Due to finite coherence times and frequent gate errors, the number of gates that can be implemented remains limited on current quantum devices, preventing accurate applications to systems with significant entanglement, such as strongly correlated molecules. In this work, we propose an alternative algorithm (which we refer to as ctrl-VQE) where the quantum circuit used for state preparation is removed entirely and replaced by a quantum control routine which variationally shapes a pulse to drive the initial Hartree-Fock state to the full CI target state. As with VQE, the objective function optimized is the expectation value of the qubit-mapped molecular Hamiltonian. However, by removing the quantum circuit, the coherence times required for state preparation can be drastically reduced by directly optimizing the pulses. We demonstrate the potential of this method numerically by directly optimizing pulse shapes which accurately model the dissociation curves of the hydrogen molecule (covalent bond) and helium hydride ion (ionic bond), and we compute the single point energy for LiH with four transmons.
