contents Solving electronic structure problems is considered one of the most promising applications of quantum computing. However, due to limitations imposed by the coherence time of qubits in the Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum (NISQ) era or the capabilities of early fault-tolerant quantum devices, it is vital to design algorithms with low-depth circuits. In this work, we develop an enhanced Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) ansatz based on the Qubit Coupled Cluster (QCC) approach, which demands optimization over only $n$ parameters rather than the usual $n+2m$ parameters, where $n$ represents the number of Pauli string time evolution gates $e^{-itP}$, and $m$ is the number of qubits involved. We evaluate the ground state energies of $\mathrm{O_3}$, $\mathrm{Li_4}$, and $\mathrm{Cr_2}$, using CAS(2,2), (4,4) and (6,6) respectively in conjunction with our enhanced QCC ansatz, UCCSD (Unitary Coupled Cluster Single Double) ansatz, and canonical CCSD method as the active space solver, and compare with CASCI results. Finally, we assess our enhanced QCC ansatz on two distinct quantum hardware, IBM Kolkata and Quantinuum H1-1.
