We propose a scheme for the construction of the one-particle Green's function (GF) of an interacting electronic system via statistical sampling on a quantum computer. Although the nonunitarity of creation and annihilation operators for the electronic spin orbitals prevents us from preparing specific states selectively, probabilistic state preparation is demonstrated to be possible for the qubits. We provide quantum circuits equipped with at most two ancillary qubits for obtaining all the…

It is found that the GFCCSD method reproduces not only the correct quasiparticle peaks but also satellite ones by comparing the exact spectra with the 6-31G basis set, and that open-shell atoms such as C atom exhibit Mott gaps at the Fermi level, which the exact density-functional theory fails to describe.
