contents We introduce the Adaptive Derivative-Assembled Pseudo-Trotter ansatz Variational Majorana Propagation Eigensolver (ADAPT-VMPE), a quantum-inspired classical algorithm that exploits Majorana Propagation (MP) to produce circuits for approximating the ground state of molecular Hamiltonians. Equipped with the theoretical guarantees of MP, which provide controllable bounds on the approximation error, ADAPT-VMPE offers an efficient and scalable approach for iterative ansatz construction. A theoretical analysis of the computational complexity demonstrates that it is polynomial in both the number of qubits and the number of iterations. We present an in-depth analysis of circuit construction strategies, analyzing their impact on convergence and provide practical guidance for efficient ansatz generation. Using ADAPT-VMPE, we construct up to 100-qubit ansätze for a strongly correlated photosensitizer currently undergoing human clinical trials for cancer treatment. Our results demonstrate that constant overlap with the ground state across system sizes can be reached in polynomial time with polynomially sized circuits.
