Quantum Measurement for Quantum Chemistry on a Quantum Computer

Understand

Quantum chemistry is among the most promising applications of quantum computing, offering the potential to solve complex electronic structure problems more efficiently than classical approaches.

• A critical component of any quantum algorithm is the measurement step, where the desired properties are extracted from a quantum computer.
• This review focuses on recent advancements in quantum measurement techniques tailored for quantum chemistry, particularly within the second quantized framework suitable for current and near-term quantum hardware.
• We provide a comprehensive overview of measurement strategies developed primarily for the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) and its derivatives.
