Quantum computational chemistry is a potential application of quantum computers that is expected to effectively solve several quantum-chemistry problems, particularly the electronic structure problem. Quantum computational chemistry can be compared to the conventional computational devices. This review comprehensively investigates the applications and overview of quantum computational chemistry, including a review of the Hartree-Fock method for quantum information scientists. Quantum algorithms, quantum phase estimation, and variational quantum eigensolver, have been applied to the post-Hartree-Fock method.
