Introduction to Quantum Algorithms for Physics and Chemistry    [PDF]

Man-Hong Yung, James D. Whitfield, Sergio Boixo, David G. Tempel, Alán Aspuru-Guzik

In this introductory review, we focus on applications of quantum computation to problems of interest in physics and chemistry. We describe quantum simulation algorithms that have been developed for electronic-structure problems, thermal-state preparation, simulation of time dynamics, adiabatic quantum simulation, and density functional theory.
