The simulation and characterization of physical systems stand out as one of the most promising applications of quantum computers. In our research, we focused on performing electronic structure calculations of GaAs through the utilization of quantum computer simulators. While the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) was used for calculating ground state energies, we employed the Variational Quantum Deflation (VQD) algorithm to access higher energy levels. Using a tight-binding Hamiltonian, we examined the influence of various computational settings including the choice of the optimization methods and the architecture of the quantum circuit. Our results indicate that the number of iterations necessary for an accurate evaluation is higher for higher-energy levels. In this context, the optimization method, Constrained Optimization BY Linear Approximation (COBYLA), emerges as the most advantageous choice.

Keywords: quantum computing; electronic structure; variational quantum algorithms
