A device-oriented optimizer for solving ground state problems on an approximate quantum computer, Part II: Experiments for interacting spin and molecular systems
ORAL
Abstract
Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms can be used to find variational solutions to generic quantum problems. Here, we present an experimental implementation of a device-oriented optimizer that uses superconducting quantum hardware. The experiment relies on feedback between the quantum device and classical optimization software which is robust to measurement noise. Our device-oriented approach uses naturally available interactions for the preparation of trial states. We demonstrate the application of this technique for solving interacting spin and molecular structure problems.
