Patent number: 11894107Abstract: Systems and techniques that facilitate precision-preserving qubit reduction based on spatial symmetries in fermionic systems are provided. In one or more embodiments, a symmetry component can generate a diagonalized second quantization representation of a spatial point group symmetry operation. The spatial point group symmetry operation can be associated with a molecule (e.g., a geometrical rotation, reflection, and/or inversion of a physical molecule that results in a new molecular orientation that is substantially the same as the original molecular orientation). In one or more embodiments, a transformation component can convert the diagonalized second quantization representation into a single Pauli string. In one or more embodiments, a tapering component can taper off qubits in a computational quantum algorithm that models properties of the molecule, based on the single Pauli string.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 2019Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Kanav Setia, Sergey Bravyi, Antonio Mezzacapo, Richard Chen, Marco Pistoia, Julia Elizabeth Rice
