In this work, we integrate the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) with the adiabatic connection (AC) method for efficient simulations of chemical problems on near-term quantum computers. Orbital-optimized VQE methods are employed to capture the strong correlation within an active space, and classical AC corrections recover the dynamical correlation effects comprising electrons outside of the active space. On two challenging strongly correlated problems, namely, the dissociation of N and the electronic structure of the tetramethyleneethane biradical, we show that the combined VQE-AC approach enhances the performance of VQE dramatically. Moreover, since the AC corrections do not bring any additional requirements on quantum resources or measurements, they can actually boost the VQE algorithms. Our work paves the way toward quantum simulations of real-life problems on near-term quantum computers.

Criegee intermediates (CIs) are potentially significant oxidants and a major source of OH radicals in the troposphere. The -CHCHOO intermediate has been confirmed as a crucial component of CIs in the atmospheric environment. Although previous studies have provided some experimental and theoretical rate constants, inconsistencies among these data remain, and the experimental data do not cover the full range of temperatures present in the troposphere.

We developed a general framework for hybrid quantum-classical computing of molecular and periodic embedding approaches based on an orbital space separation of the fragment and environment degrees of freedom. We demonstrate its potential by presenting a specific implementation of periodic range-separated DFT coupled to a quantum circuit ansatz, whereby the variational quantum eigensolver and the quantum equation-of-motion algorithm are used to obtain the low-lying spectrum of the embedded fragment Hamiltonian. The application of this scheme to study localized electronic states in materials is showcased through the accurate prediction of the optical properties of the neutral oxygen vacancy in magnesium oxide (MgO).

We derive the transition rates, dephasing rates, and Lamb shifts for a system consisting of many molecules collectively coupled to a resonant cavity mode. Using a variational polaron master equation, we show that strong vibrational interactions inherent to molecules give rise to multi-phonon processes and suppress the light-matter coupling. In the strong light-matter coupling limit, multiphonon contributions to the transition and dephasing rates strongly dominate over single-phonon contributions for typical molecular parameters.

Recent developments in quantum computing are highly promising, particularly in the realm of quantum chemistry. Due to the noisy nature of currently available quantum hardware, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms have emerged as a reliable option for near-term simulations. Mixed quantum-classical dynamics methods effectively capture nonadiabatic effects by integrating classical nuclear dynamics with quantum chemical computations of the electronic properties.

De novo peptide design exhibits great potential in materials engineering, particularly for the use of plastic-binding peptides to help remediate microplastic pollution. There are no known peptide binders for many plastics-a gap that can be filled with de novo design. Current computational methods for peptide design exhibit limitations in sampling and scaling that could be addressed with quantum computing.
