SlaKoNet-VQD: A universal Slater-Koster tight-binding Hamiltonian for variational quantum band-structure calculations on near-term hardware

Akshaya Ajith, Jaehyung Lee, Charles Rhys Campbell +1

Variational quantum algorithms such as VQE and VQD are promising for near-term electronic structure calculations, but for periodic solids their reach is limited by the cost of buil…
