Subspace-search variational quantum eigensolver for excited states

The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), a variational algorithm to obtain an approximated ground state of a given Hamiltonian, is an appealing application of near-term quantum computers. To extend the framework to excited states, we here propose an algorithm, the subspace-search variational quant...
