Abstract
Using a superconducting-qubit-type quantum computer, ibm_kawasaki, we calculate the energies of molecular orbitals of linear polyenes, CnHn+2 (n = 2–20) by the Hückel molecular orbital (MO) method. After error mitigation by post-selection and elimination of spurious qubit-states, we find that the MO energies can be evaluated with reasonably high accuracy as long as n ≤ 6. A simple error model is introduced to explain the behavior of the error in the MO energies as a function of n.
期刊介绍:
Chemical Physics Letters has an open access mirror journal, Chemical Physics Letters: X, sharing the same aims and scope, editorial team, submission system and rigorous peer review.
Chemical Physics Letters publishes brief reports on molecules, interfaces, condensed phases, nanomaterials and nanostructures, polymers, biomolecular systems, and energy conversion and storage.
Criteria for publication are quality, urgency and impact. Further, experimental results reported in the journal have direct relevance for theory, and theoretical developments or non-routine computations relate directly to experiment. Manuscripts must satisfy these criteria and should not be minor extensions of previous work.
