Molecular Energy Landscapes of Hardware-Efficient Ansatze in Quantum Computing.

ABSTRACT: Rapid advances in quantum computing have opened up new opportunities for solving the central electronic structure problem in computational chemistry. In the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, where qubit coherence times are limited, it is essential to exploit quantum algorithms with sufficiently short quantum circuits to maximize qubit efficiency. The procedural construction of hardware-efficient ansätze provides one approach to design such circuits. However, refining the accuracy of the global minimum by increasing circuit depth may lead to a proliferation of local minima that hinders global optimization. To investigate this phenomenon, we explore the energy landscapes of hardware-efficient circuits to identify ground-state energies of the hydrogen, lithium hydride, and berylliu
