Variational Quantum Eigensolver

We provide a Perceval implementation of original photonic Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) from Peruzzo, A. et al. in [1].

This notebook provides computations of ground-state molecular energies for the Hamiltonian given by the following papers:

\(\bullet\) A variational eigenvalue solver on a photonic quantum processor [1].

\(\bullet\) Scalable Quantum Simulation of Molecular Energies [2] .

\(\bullet\) Computation of Molecular Spectra on a Quantum Processor with an Error-Resilient Algorithm [3]

Implementation in Perceval

Here we reproduce on Perceval the 2-qubit circuit used in [1] for VQE.

We use path encoded qubits.

Modes 0 and 5 are auxillary. 1\(^\text{st}\) qubit is path encoded in modes 1 and 2. 2\(^\text{nd}\) qubit in modes 3 and 4.

Logical input and output states

Logical states are path encoded on the Fock States.

[3]:
#Input states of the photonic circuit
input_states = {
    pcvl.BasicState([0,1,0,1,0,0]):"|00>"}

#Outputs in the computational basis
output_states = {
    pcvl.BasicState([0,1,0,1,0,0]):"|00>",
    pcvl.BasicState([0,1,0,0,1,0]):"|01>",
    pcvl.BasicState([0,0,1,1,0,0]):"|10>",
    pcvl.BasicState([0,0,1,0,1,0]):"|11>"}

Loss function for the variational algorithm

For a given state \(|\psi \rangle\) the Rayleigh-Ritz quotient is given by:

\[\frac{\langle \psi | \mathcal{H} | \psi \rangle}{\langle \psi |\psi \rangle},\]

This is computed in Perceval by explicitly computing \(|\psi \rangle\) ( which is the output of the simulated photonic circuit). Determining the smallest/ground state eigenvalue is done through a variational approach with Rayleigh-Ritz quotient as the loss function.

Using a classical optimisation algorithm, and the simulations given by Perceval we find the eigenvector which minimises the Rayleigh-Ritz quotient together with its associated eigenvalue ( the ground state eigenvalue), which reprensents the solution of the VQE.

Hamiltonians for VQE

In this section we define the 3 Hamiltonians given by the 3 papers [1-3]

Perceval can compute the state vector, which is the output of the photonic quantum circuit, explicitly. This eliminates the need for using algorithms to estimate the expectation value.

A Hamiltonian can be written as :

\[\mathcal{H}= \sum_{\sigma }h_{\sigma}\sigma\]

where \(h_{\sigma} \in \mathbb{R}\) and \(\sigma\) are pauli operators.

Simulation 1: computing the theoretical eigenvalues of H

We use the numpy linalg package.

[10]:
E1_th=[]
for h in H:
    l0=np.linalg.eigvals(h[1])
    l0.sort()
    E1_th.append(min(l0))

Simulation 1: plotting the results

The minimum eigenvalues of H are plotted in orange.

The eigenvalues found with Perceval are the crosses
