Abstract: In a method of measuring an expansion amount of an electricity storage device, a first image of a right side surface of an outer container is taken in a front-rear direction while an electricity storage amount of the electricity storage device is at a first electricity storage amount. The electricity storage device is charged or discharged so that the electricity storage amount of the electricity storage device changes from the first electricity storage amount to a second electricity storage amount. A second image of the right side surface of the outer container is taken in the front-rear direction while the electricity storage amount of the electricity storage device is at a second electricity storage amount. The expansion amount of the outer container is calculated from the first image and the second image.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus iterates a process of updating a value of a coefficient in a third equation and a process of searching for a ground state of a many-electron system. The third equation is obtained by adding a term, which is a product of a second equation relating to the number of electrons in the many-electron system and the coefficient, to a first equation for computing a physical quantity of the many-electron system. The search process employs a variational quantum eigensolver method and searches for the ground state of the many-electron system by setting, in the (k+1)th search process, a final state of the many-electron system obtained in one of the first to k-th search processes as an initial state, and then changing the quantum state of the many-electron system from the initial state such that the expected value of the third equation is reduced.

Abstract: An information processing apparatus creates qubit pairs, each being formed by combining first and second qubits. A first qubit corresponds to a first orbital on which an electron is present in an initial arrangement. A second qubit corresponds to a second orbital on which no electron is present in the initial arrangement. The apparatus generates a quantum circuit that applies two-qubit gates to at least some of the qubit pairs. Each two-qubit gate generates, based on the value of a parameter, a superposition state of a first state in which the states of the first and second qubits are not switched and a second state in which these states are switched. The apparatus acquires an energy expectation value in the ground state of the molecule by causing a quantum computer to iteratively execute the quantum circuit.
