Hamiltonian input model and spectroscopy on quantum computers

We present a novel input model for general second-quantized Hamiltonians of relativistic or non-relativistic many-fermion systems. This input model incorporates the fermionic anticommutation relations, particle number variations, and respects the symmetries of the Hamiltonian. Based on our input model, we propose a hybrid framework for spectral calculations on future quantum hardwares. We provide explicit circuit designs and the associated gate cost and circuit depth. We demonstrate our framework by solving the low-lying spectra of ⁴²Ca and ⁴⁶Ca. Our input model provides new pathways to solving the spectra and time evolutions of the relativistic and nonrelativistic many-fermion systems.
