Fault-tolerant quantum computation promises to solve outstanding problems in quantum chemistry within the next decade. Realizing this promise requires scalable tools that allow users to translate descriptions of electronic structure problems to optimized quantum gate sequences executed on physical hardware, without requiring specialized quantum computing knowledge. To this end, we present a quantum chemistry library, under the open-source MIT license, that implements and enables straightforward use of state-of-art quantum simulation algorithms. The library is implemented in Q#, a language designed to express quantum algorithms at scale, and interfaces with NWChem, a leading electronic structure package. We define a standardized schema for this interface, Broombridge, that describes second-quantized Hamiltonians, along with metadata required for effective quantum simulation, such as trial wavefunction ansatzes. This schema is generated for arbitrary molecules by NWChem, conveniently accessible, for instance, through Docker containers and a recently developed web interface EMSL Arrows. We illustrate use of the library with various examples, including ground- and excited-state calculations for LiH, H$_{10}$, and C$_{20}$ with an active-space simplification, and automatically obtain resource estimates for classically intractable examples.

Simulating chemical systems on quantum computers has been limited to a few electrons in a minimal basis. We demonstrate experimentally that the virtual quantum subspace expansion [Phys. Rev. X 10, 011004 (2020)] can achieve full basis accuracy for hy
drogen and lithium dimers, comparable to simulations requiring twenty or more qubits. We developed an approach to minimize the impact of experimental noise on the stability of the generalized eigenvalue problem, a crucial component of the quantum algorithm. In addition, we were able to obtain an accurate potential energy curve for the nitrogen dimer in a quantum simulation on a classical computer.
We show that the problem of communication in a quantum computer reduces to constructing reliable quantum channels by distributing high-fidelity EPR pairs. We develop analytical models of the latency, bandwidth, error rate and resource utilization of
such channels, and show that 100s of qubits must be distributed to accommodate a single data communication. Next, we show that a grid of teleportation nodes forms a good substrate on which to distribute EPR pairs. We also explore the control requirements for such a network. Finally, we propose a specific routing architecture and simulate the communication patterns of the Quantum Fourier Transform to demonstrate the impact of resource contention.
The ability to simulate a fermionic system on a quantum computer is expected to revolutionize chemical engineering, materials design, nuclear physics, to name a few. Thus, optimizing the simulation circuits is of significance in harnessing the power
of quantum computers. Here, we address this problem in two aspects. In the fault-tolerant regime, we optimize the $rzgate$ and $tgate$ gate counts along with the ancilla qubit counts required, assuming the use of a product-formula algorithm for implementation. We obtain a savings ratio of two in the gate counts and a savings ratio of eleven in the number of ancilla qubits required over the state of the art. In the pre-fault tolerant regime, we optimize the two-qubit gate counts, assuming the use of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) approach. Specific to the latter, we present a framework that enables bootstrapping the VQE progression towards the convergence of the ground-state energy of the fermionic system. This framework, based on perturbation theory, is capable of improving the energy estimate at each cycle of the VQE progression, by about a factor of three closer to the known ground-state energy compared to the standard VQE approach in the test-bed, classically-accessible system of the water molecule. The improved energy estimate in turn results in a commensurate level of savings of quantum resources, such as the number of qubits and quantum gates, required to be within a pre-specified tolerance from the known ground-state energy. We also explore a suite of generalized transformations of fermion to qubit operators and show that resource-requirement savings of up to more than $20%$, in small instances, is possible.
Variational algorithms are a promising paradigm for utilizing near-term quantum devices for modeling electronic states of molecular systems. However, previous bounds on the measurement time required have suggested that the application of these techni
ques to larger molecules might be infeasible. We present a measurement strategy based on a low rank factorization of the two-electron integral tensor. Our approach provides a cubic reduction in term groupings over prior state-of-the-art and enables measurement times three orders of magnitude smaller than those suggested by commonly referenced bounds for the largest systems we consider. Although our technique requires execution of a linear-depth circuit prior to measurement, this is compensated for by eliminating challenges associated with sampling non-local Jordan-Wigner transformed operators in the presence of measurement error, while enabling a powerful form of error mitigation based on efficient postselection. We numerically characterize these benefits with noisy quantum circuit simulations for ground state energies of strongly correlated electronic systems.
A major hurdle to the deployment of quantum linear systems algorithms and recent quantum simulation algorithms lies in the difficulty to find inexpensive reversible circuits for arithmetic using existing hand coded methods. Motivated by recent advanc
es in reversible logic synthesis, we synthesize arithmetic circuits using classical design automation flows and tools. The combination of classical and reversible logic synthesis enables the automatic design of large components in reversible logic starting from well-known hardware description languages such as Verilog. As a prototype example for our approach we automatically generate high quality networks for the reciprocal $1/x$, which is necessary for quantum linear systems algorithms.
