| contents | The procedure for simulating the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum linked to the spin system of a molecule for a certain nucleus entails diagonalizing the associated Hamiltonian matrix. As the dimensions of said matrix grow exponentially with respect to the spin system's atom count, the calculation of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors marks the performance of the overall process. The aim of this paper is to provide a formalization of the complete procedure of the simulation of a spin system's NMR spectrum while also explaining how to diagonalize the Hamiltonian matrix with a quantum computer, thus enhancing the overall process's performance. Two well-known quantum algorithms for calculating the eigenvalues of a matrix are analyzed and put to the test in this context: quantum phase estimation and the variational quantum eigensolver. Additionally, we present simulated results for the later approach while also addressing the hypothetical noise found in a physical quantum computer. |
