| contents | The electronic structure problem is one of the main problems in modern theoretical chemistry. While there are many already-established methods both for the problem itself and its applications like semi-classical or quantum dynamics, it remains a computationally demanding task, effectively limiting the size of solved problems. Fortunately, it seems, that offloading some parts of the computation to Quantum Processing Units may offer significant speed-up, often referred to as quantum supremacy or quantum advantage. Together with the potential advantage, this approach simultaneously presents several problems, most notably naturally occurring quantum decoherence, hereafter denoted as quantum noise and lack of large-scale quantum computers, making it necessary to focus on Noisy-Intermediate Scale Quantum computers when developing algorithms aspiring to near-term applications. SA-OO-VQE package aims to answer both these problems with its hybrid quantum-classical conception based on a typical Variational Quantum Eigensolver approach, as only a part of the algorithm utilizes offload to QPUs and the rest is performed on a classical computer, thus partially avoiding both quantum noise and the lack of quantum bits. The SA-OO-VQE has the ability to treat degenerate (or quasi-degenerate) states on the same footing, thus avoiding known numerical optimization problems arising in state-specific approaches around avoided crossings or conical intersections. |
