contents We present OBDF-SQD, a hybrid quantum-classical method that combines one-body downfolding~(OBDF) based on one-body Møller--Plesset second-order perturbation theory (OBMP2) with sample-based quantum diagonalization~(SQD) for use in quantum-centric supercomputing~(QCS). In this approach, OBMP2 is executed classically to fold dynamical correlation from external orbitals into a renormalized one-body operator, yielding an effective active-space Hamiltonian that retains the same operator structure as the bare Hamiltonian and therefore requires no additional quantum circuit resources. SQD is then applied to this effective Hamiltonian, where, in this work, the quantum sampling is performed via the Qiskit Aer simulator rather than actual quantum hardware. We benchmark OBDF-SQD on dissociation curves of \ce{H6} chain, ring, and lattice systems and the \ce{N2} molecule in the cc-pVDZ basis, comparing against standard methods and active-space SQD (CAS-SQD). We observed that OBDF-SQD consistently improves upon CAS-SQD with the same active space. The simplicity of the one-body downfolding correction also makes the approach straightforwardly extensible to periodic solids within existing quantum embedding frameworks
