Exact electronic states with shallow quantum circuits from global optimisation

Abstract Quantum computers promise to revolutionise molecular electronic simulations by overcoming the exponential memory scaling. While electronic wave functions can be represented using a product of fermionic unitary operators, the best ansatz for strongly correlated electronic systems is far from...
