Scalable Quantum Simulation of Molecular Energies

Scalable Quantum Simulation of Molecular Energies

We report the first electronic structure calculation performed on a quantum computer without exponentially costly precompilation. We use a programmable array of superconducting qubits to compute the energy surface of molecular hydrogen using two distinct quantum algorithms. First, we experimentally...
