We describe a hybrid quantum-classical approach to treat quantum many-body systems in the thermodynamic limit by combining numerical linked-cluster expansions (NLCE) with the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Here, the VQE algorithm is used as a cluster solver within the NLCE. We test our hybrid quantum-classical algorithm (NLCE+VQE) for the ferromagnetic transverse-field Ising model (TFIM) on the one-dimensional chain and the two-dimensional square lattice [1]. The calculation of ground-state energies on each open cluster demands a modified Hamiltonian variational ansatz for the VQE. One major finding is convergence of NLCE+VQE to the conventional NLCE result in the thermodynamic limit when at least N/2 layers are used in the VQE ansatz for each cluster with N sites. We further extend this approach for calculation of excited states for the TFIM. We further extend NLCE+VQE to determine the one quasi-particle dispersion and energy gap of the TFIM in the polarized phase. To this end we determine we developed a new variational cost function based on the projective cluster-additive transformation [2].
