Dual Exponential Coupled Cluster Theory: Unitary Adaptation, Implementation in the Variational Quantum Eigensolver Framework and Pilot Applications
arXiv:2207.05318 · doi:10.1063/5.0114688
Abstract
In this paper, we have developed a unitary variant of a double exponential coupled cluster theory, which is capable of mimicking the effects of connected excitations of arbitrarily high rank, using only rank-one and rank-two parametrization of the wavefunction ansatz. While its implementation in a classical computer necessitates the construction of an effective Hamiltonian which involves infinite number of terms with arbitrarily high many-body rank, the same can easily be implemented in the hybrid quantum-classical variational quantum eigensolver framework with a reasonably shallow quantum circuit. The method relies upon the nontrivial action of a unitary, containing a set of rank-two scattering operators, on entangled states generated via cluster operators. We have further introduced a number of variants of the ansatz with different degrees of expressibility by judiciously approximating the scattering operators. With a number of applications on strongly correlated molecules, we have shown that all our schemes can perform uniformly well throughout the molecular potential energy surface without significant additional implementation cost and quantum complexity over the unitary coupled cluster approach with single and double excitations.
