contents Quantum-selected configuration interaction (QSCI) is a promising hybrid quantum-classical approach in which a quantum device generates configurations for subsequent classical diagonalization. Here, we analyze the performance of QSCI combined with the local unitary cluster Jastrow (LUCJ) ansatz, focusing on the interplay between ansatz expressivity, sampling, noise, and configuration recovery. Using the dissociation of N2 in a large active space as a benchmark, we show that noiseless LUCJ sampling produces compact and biased configurational spaces, limiting the accuracy of the resulting CI energies, particularly in strongly correlated regimes. By introducing a simple noise model, we demonstrate that sampling noise can enhance Hilbert-space exploration by generating additional configurations beyond those supported by the ideal ansatz. When combined with configuration recovery, this leads to systematically improved energies. Moreover, recovery alone (starting from randomly generated configurations) can efficiently construct accurate CI spaces, highlighting its central role in QSCI.
