Exhaustive search for optimal molecular geometries using imaginary-time evolution on a quantum computer

Abstract This study proposes a nonvariational scheme for geometry optimization of molecules for the first-quantized eigensolver, which is a recently proposed framework for quantum chemistry using probabilistic imaginary-time evolution (PITE). In this scheme, the nuclei in a molecule are treated as c...
