contents Quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) is a novel quantum-classical hybrid algorithm for quantum chemistry calculations. This method identifies electron configurations having large weights for the target state using quantum devices and allows CI calculations to be performed with the selected configurations on classical computers. In principle, the QSCI algorithm can take advantage of the ability to handle large configuration spaces while reducing the negative effects of noise on the calculated values. At present, QSCI calculations are limited by qubit noise during the input state preparation and measurement process, restricting them to small active spaces. These limitations make it difficult to perform calculations with quantitative accuracy. The present study demonstrates a computational scheme based on multireference perturbation theory calculations on a classical computer, using the QSCI wavefunction as a reference. This method was applied to ground and excited state calculations for two typical aromatic molecules, naphthalene and tetracene. The incorporation of the perturbation treatment was found to provide improved accuracy. Extension of the reference space based on the QSCI-selected configurations as a means of further improvement was also investigated.
