One of the central challenges in electronic structure theory is the accurate description of strongly correlated systems. We address this using a hybrid quantum-classical scheme, sample-based quantum diagonalization, in which a quantum computer acts as a dedicated sampler to identify a compact, problem-adapted subspace of important Slater determinants. The corresponding reduced Hamiltonian is then diagonalized classically to obtain the ground state. To mitigate quantum errors, we apply a classical post-processing step that projects samples onto the correct particle-number sector.
Before sampling, we perform a similarity transformation of the Hamiltonian that concentrates the ground-state weight into a smaller set of determinants, reducing the relevant subspace and improving accuracy at the cost of a non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian. While non-Hermiticity would ordinarily hinder quantum algorithms, we demonstrate that it can still be exploited within a sampling-based framework using the UCJ (unitary cluster Jastrow) ansatz initialized with single and double amplitudes from the transformed Hamiltonian.
