Quantum Chemistry on a Superconducting Quantum Processor — •Michael P. Kaicher¹, Frank K. Wilhelm¹, and Peter J. Love² — ¹Theoretical Physics, Saarland University, 66123 Saarbruecken, Germany — ²Department of Physics and Astronomy, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA

Quantum chemistry is the most promising civilian application for quantum processors to date. We study its adaptation to superconducting (sc) quantum systems, computing the ground state energy of LiH through a variational hybrid quantum classical algorithm. We demonstrate how interactions native to sc qubits further reduce the amount of quantum resources needed, pushing sc architectures as a near-term candidate for simulations of more complex atoms/molecules.
