As the advances in quantum hardware bring us into the noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) era, one possible task we can perform without quantum error correction using NISQ machines is the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) due to its shallow depth. A specific problem that we can tackle is the strongly interacting Fermi-Hubbard model, which is classically intractable and has practical implications in areas like superconductivity. In this Article, we will perform resource estimation on…

If the numerical results on small lattice sizes are representative of the somewhat larger lattices accessible to near-term quantum hardware, they suggest that optimising over quantum circuits with a gate depth less than a thousand could be sufficient to solve instances of the Hubbard model beyond the capacity of classical exact diagonalisation.

It suffices to use O gates to simulate electronic structure in the plane-wave basis with $n$ spin orbitals and $\eta$ electrons up to a negligible factor, improving the best previous result in second quantization while outperforming the first-quantized simulation when $n=\mathcal{O}\left(\eta^2\right)$.

This Article develops methods to combine error extrapolation with two other error mitigation techniques: quasi-probability and symmetry verification, through exploiting features of these individual techniques, and shows how this combined method can achieve low estimation bias with a sampling cost multiple times smaller than quasi-Probability while without needing to be able to adjust the hardware error rate as required in canonicalerror extrapolation.
