Quantum computation; electronic excited states; aromatic heterocycles
In this work, the excited state spectra of four aromatic heterocycles were simulated on IBM superconducting quantum computers using the entanglement forging method and the quantum subspace expansion method. The successful application of quantum computing in simulating active-space electronic wavefunctions was demonstrated.
The computation of excited electronic states is an important application for quantum computers. In this work, we simulate the excited state spectra of four aromatic heterocycles on IBM superconducting quantum computers, focussing on active spaces of n -> pi* and n -> pi* excitations. We approximate the ground state with the entanglement forging method, a qubit reduction technique that maps a spatial orbital to a single qubit, rather than two qubits. We then determine excited states using the quantum subspace expansion method. We showcase these algorithms on quantum hardware using up to 8 qubits and employing readout and gate error mitigation techniques. Our results demonstrate a successful application of quantum computing in the simulation of active-space electronic wavefunctions of substituted aromatic heterocycles, and outline challenges to be overcome in elucidating the optical properties of organic molecules with hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.
