We develop an extension of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm-multistate contracted VQE (MC-VQE)-that allows for the efficient computation of the transition energies between the ground state and several low-lying excited states of a molecule, as well as the oscillator strengths associated with these transitions. We numerically simulate MC-VQE by computing the absorption spectrum of an ab initio exciton model of an 18-chromophore light-harvesting complex from purple photosynthetic bacteria.
我们开发了变分量子本征求解器(VQE)算法的一种扩展——多态收缩VQE(MC-VQE),它能够高效计算分子基态与几个低激发态之间的跃迁能量,以及与这些跃迁相关的振子强度。我们通过计算来自紫色光合细菌的18发色团光捕获复合物的从头算激子模型的吸收光谱,对MC-VQE进行了数值模拟。
