Quantum simulation of exact electron dynamics can be more efficient than classical mean-field methods

Abstract Quantum algorithms for simulating electronic ground states are slower than popular classical mean-field algorithms such as Hartree–Fock and density functional theory but offer higher accuracy. Accordingly, quantum computers have been predominantly regarded as competitors to only the most ac...
