We present a novel multiscale embedding scheme that links conventional QM/MM embedding and bootstrap embedding (BE) to allow simulations of large chemical systems on limited quantum devices. We also propose a mixed-basis BE scheme that facilitates BE calculations on extended systems using classical computers with limited memory resources. Benchmark data suggest the combination of these two strategies as a robust path in attaining the correlation energies of large realistic systems, combining the proven accuracy of BE with chemical and biological systems of interest in a lower computational cost method. Due to the flexible tunability of the resource requirements and systematic fragment construction, future developments in the realization of quantum computers naturally offer improved accuracy for multiscale BE calculations.
我们提出了一种新颖的多尺度嵌入方案,该方案将传统的量子力学/分子力学(QM/MM)嵌入与自洽场嵌入(BE)相结合,以实现对有限量子设备上的大型化学系统进行模拟。我们还提出了一种混合基BE方案,该方案有助于在内存资源有限的经典计算机上对扩展系统进行BE计算。基准数据表明,这两种策略的结合是获得大型实际系统相关能的可靠途径,它将BE在化学和生物系统中已被证实的准确性与较低的计算成本方法相结合。由于资源需求的灵活可调性和系统的片段构建,量子计算机实现方面的未来发展自然会为多尺度BE计算提供更高的精度。
