Qiskit Nature overview#
Overview#
Qiskit Nature is an open-source framework which supports solving quantum mechanical natural science problems using quantum computing algorithms. This includes finding ground and excited states of electronic and vibrational structure problems, measuring the dipole moments of molecular systems, solving the Ising and Fermi-Hubbard models on lattices, and much more.
The code comprises various modules revolving around:
data loading from chemistry drivers or file formats
second-quantized operator construction and manipulation
translating from the second-quantized to the qubit space
a quantum circuit library of natural science targeted ansatze
natural science specific algorithms and utilities to make the use of algorithms from Qiskit Algorithms easier
and much more
