Density functionals and Kohn-Sham potentials with minimal wavefunction preparations on a quantum computer

One of the potential applications of a quantum computer is solving quantum chemical systems. It is known that one of the fastest ways to obtain somewhat accurate solutions classically is to use approximations of density functional theory. We demonstrate a general method for obtaining the exact funct...
