A probabilistic spin annihilation method for quantum chemical calculations on quantum computers†
Abstract
A probabilistic spin annihilation method based on the quantum phase estimation algorithm is presented for quantum chemical calculations on quantum computers. This approach can eliminate more than one spin component from the spin contaminated wave functions by single operation. Comparison with the spin annihilation operation on classical computers is given.
