I-deploy at patakbuhin ang isang template para sa electronic structure simulation na may implicit solvent model

Ang template na ito, na binuo sa pakikipagtulungan sa Cleveland Clinic, ay binubuo ng isang workflow para kalkulahin ang ground state energy at solvation free energy ng isang molecule sa isang implicit solvent [1]. Ang mga simulation na ito ay batay sa sample-based quantum diagonalization (SQD) method [2-6] at ang integral equation formalism polarizable continuum model (IEF-PCM) ng solvent [7].

Ang gabay na ito ay gumagamit ng template na may methanol molecule bilang solute, kung saan ang electronic structure ay sini-simulate nang tahasan, at tubig bilang solvent, na naka-approximate bilang isang tuloy-tuloy na dielectric medium. Upang isaalang-alang ang electron correlation effects sa methanol, habang pinapanatili ang balanse sa pagitan ng computational cost at accuracy, isinama lamang namin ang Οƒ\sigma, Οƒβˆ—\sigma^{*}, at lone pair orbitals sa active space na sini-simulate gamit ang SQD IEF-PCM. Ang orbital selection na ito ay ginagawa gamit ang atomic valence active space (AVAS) method gamit ang C[2s,2p], O[2s,2p], at H[1s] atomic orbital components, na nagre-resulta sa active space na 14 electrons at 12 orbitals (14e,12o). Ang reference orbitals ay kinakalkula gamit ang closed-shell Hartree Fock na may cc-pvdz basis set.

Panimula sa workflow​

Ang interactive na gabay na ito ay nagpapakita kung paano i-upload ang function template na ito sa Qiskit Serverless at magpatakbo ng halimbawang workload. Ang template ay nakabalangkas bilang isang Qiskit pattern na may apat na hakbang:

1. Kolektahin ang input at i-map ang problema​

Kinukuha ng hakbang na ito ang geometry ng molecule, napiling active space, solvation model, LUCJ options, at SQD options bilang input. Pagkatapos ay gumagawa ito ng PySCF Checkpoint file, na naglalaman ng Hartree-Fock (HF) IEF-PCM data. Ang data na ito ay gagamitin sa SQD na bahagi ng workflow. Para sa LUCJ na bahagi ng workflow, ang input section ay gumagawa rin ng gas-phase HF data, na naka-imbak sa loob sa PySCF FCIDUMP format.

Ang impormasyon mula sa HF gas-phase simulation at ang kahulugan ng active space ay kinukuha bilang input. Mahalaga, gumagamit din ito ng impormasyong tinukoy ng user mula sa input section tungkol sa error suppression, bilang ng shots, circuit transpiler optimization level, at qubit layout.

Gumagawa ito ng one-electron at two-electron integrals sa loob ng tinukoy na active space. Ang mga integrals ay ginagamit pagkatapos upang magsagawa ng classical CCSD calculations, na nagbabalik ng t2 amplitudes na ginagamit natin upang i-parametrize ang LUCJ circuit.

2. I-optimize ang circuit​

Ang LUCJ circuit ay pagkatapos na-transpile sa isang ISA circuit para sa target hardware. Isang Sampler primitive ang pagkatapos na-instantiate na may default na set ng error mitigation options upang pamahalaan ang execution.

3. I-execute ang circuit​

Ang LUCJ calculations ay nagbabalik ng mga bitstrings para sa bawat measurement, kung saan ang mga bitstrings na ito ay tumutugma sa electron configurations ng pinag-aaralang system. Ang mga bitstrings ay pagkatapos ginagamit bilang input para sa post-processing.

4. I-post-process gamit ang SQD​

Ang huling hakbang na ito ay kumukuha ng PySCF Checkpoint file na naglalaman ng HF IEF-PCM information, ang mga bitstrings na kumakatawan sa electron configurations na hinulaan ng LUCJ, at ang user-defined na SQD options na pinili sa input section bilang input. Bilang output, gumagawa ito ng SQD IEF-PCM total energy ng pinakamababang energy batch at ang kaukulang solvation free energy.

Mga opsyon​

Para sa template na ito kailangan mong tukuyin ang mga opsyon para sa pagbuo ng LUCJ circuit, at mga SQD run parameter.

Mga LUCJ option​

Kapag ang LUCJ quantum circuit ay ine-execute, isang set ng mga sample na kumakatawan sa computational basis states mula sa probability distribution ng molecular system ang nalilikha. Upang balansehin ang lalim ng LUCJ circuit at ang expressibility nito, ang mga qubits na tumutugma sa spin orbitals na may magkasalungat na spin ay may dalawang-qubit gates na inilalapat sa pagitan nila kapag ang mga qubits na ito ay magkalapit sa pamamagitan ng isang ancilla qubit. Upang ipatupad ang pamamaraang ito sa IBM hardware na may heavy-hex topology, ang mga qubits na kumakatawan sa spin orbitals na may parehong spin ay konektado sa pamamagitan ng isang line topology kung saan ang bawat linya ay nag-zigzag dahil sa heavy-hex connectivity ng target hardware, habang ang mga qubits na kumakatawan sa spin orbitals na may magkasalungat na spin ay may koneksyon lamang sa bawat ikaapat na qubit.

Click for more details on the required options:

Kailangang ibigay ng user ang initial_layout array na tumutugma sa mga qubits na tumutugon sa zig-zag pattern na ito sa lucj_options section ng SQD IEF-PCM function. Sa kaso ng SQD IEF-PCM (14e,12o)/cc-pvdz simulations ng methanol, pinili namin ang initial qubit layout na tumutugma sa pangunahing diagonal ng Eagle R3 QPU. Dito, ang unang 12 elemento ng initial_layout array [0, 14, 18, 19, 20, 33, 39, 40, 41, 53, 60, 61, ...] ay tumutugma sa alpha spin orbitals. Ang huling 12 elemento [... 2, 3, 4, 15, 22, 23, 24, 34, 43, 44, 45, 54] ay tumutugma sa beta spin orbitals.

Mahalaga, kailangang matukoy ng user ang number_of_shots, na tumutugma sa bilang ng mga measurement sa LUCJ circuit. Kailangang sapat na malaki ang bilang ng shots dahil ang unang hakbang ng S-CORE procedure ay umaasa sa mga sample sa tamang particle sector upang makuha ang paunang approximation sa ground-state occupation number distribution.

Ang bilang ng shots ay lubhang system- at hardware-dependent, ngunit ang non-covalent, fragment-based, at implicit solvent na SQD na pag-aaral ay nagmumungkahi na maaaring maabot ang chemical accuracy sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa mga gabay na ito:

  • 20,000 - 200,000 shots para sa mga system na may mas kaunti sa 16 molecular orbitals (32 spin orbitals)
  • 200,000 shots para sa mga system na may 16 - 18 molecular orbitals
  • 200,000 - 2,000,000 shots para sa mga system na may higit sa 18 molecular orbitals

Ang kinakailangang bilang ng shots ay apektado ng bilang ng spin orbitals sa pinag-aaralang system at ng laki ng Hilbert space na tumutugma sa napiling active space sa loob ng pinag-aaralang system. Sa pangkalahatan, ang mga instance na may mas maliliit na Hilbert spaces ay nangangailangan ng mas kaunting shots. Ang iba pang available na LUCJ options ay circuit transpiler optimization level at error suppression options. Tandaan na ang mga opsyong ito ay nakakaapekto rin sa kinakailangang bilang ng shots at sa resultang accuracy.

Mga SQD option​

Ang mahahalagang opsyon sa SQD simulations ay kinabibilangan ng sqd_iterations, number_of_batches, at samples_per_batch. Sa pangkalahatan, ang mas mababang bilang ng samples per batch ay maaaring kontrahin ng mas maraming batches (number_of_batches) at mas maraming iterations ng S-CORE (sqd_iterations). Sa mas maraming batches maaari nating ma-sample ang mas maraming variasyon ng configurational subspaces. Dahil ang pinakamababang-energy batch ang kinukuha bilang solusyon para sa ground state energy ng system, ang mas maraming batches ay maaaring mapabuti ang mga resulta sa pamamagitan ng mas magandang statistics. Ang mga karagdagang iteration ng S-CORE ay nagbibigay-daan sa mas maraming configuration na ma-recover mula sa orihinal na LUCJ distribution kung ang bilang ng mga sample sa tamang particle sector ay mababa. Ito ay maaaring magpahintulot na mabawasan ang bilang ng samples per batch.

Click for more information about configuring the SQD options:

Ang isang alternatibong estratehiya ay ang gumamit ng mas maraming samples per batch, na tumitiyak na karamihan sa mga paunang LUCJ sample sa tamang particle space ay ginagamit sa panahon ng S-CORE procedure, at ang mga indibidwal na subspace ay naglalaman ng sapat na iba't ibang electron configurations. Sa kabila nito, binabawasan nito ang bilang ng mga kinakailangang S-CORE steps, kung saan dalawa o tatlong iteration lamang ng SQD ang kailangan kung ang bilang ng samples per batch ay sapat na malaki. Gayunpaman, ang mas maraming samples per batch ay nagre-resulta sa mas mataas na computational cost ng bawat diagonalization step. Kaya, ang balanse sa pagitan ng accuracy at computational cost sa SQD simulations ay maaaring makamit sa pamamagitan ng pagpili ng sqd_iterations, number_of_batches, at samples_per_batch nang optimal.

Ang SQD IEF-PCM study ay nagpapakita na kapag tatlong iteration ng S-CORE ang ginamit, ang chemical accuracy ay maaaring maabot sa pamamagitan ng pagsunod sa mga gabay na ito:

  • 600 samples per batch sa methanol SQD IEF-PCM (14e,12o) simulations
  • 1500 samples per batch sa methylamine SQD IEF-PCM (14e,13o) simulations
  • 6000 samples per batch sa water SQD IEF-PCM (8e,23o) simulations
  • 16000 samples per batch sa ethanol SQD IEF-PCM (20e,18o) simulations

Tulad ng kinakailangang bilang ng shots sa LUCJ, ang kinakailangang bilang ng samples per batch na ginagamit sa S-CORE procedure ay lubhang system- at hardware-dependent. Ang mga halimbawa sa itaas ay maaaring gamitin upang tantiyahin ang panimulang punto para sa benchmark ng kinakailangang bilang ng samples per batch. Ang tutorial sa sistematikong benchmark ng kinakailangang bilang ng samples per batch ay matatagpuan dito.

Authentication​

Gamitin ang qiskit-ibm-catalog upang mag-authenticate sa QiskitServerless gamit ang iyong API key (token), na matatagpuan sa IBM Quantum Platform dashboard. Nagbibigay-daan ito sa pag-instantiate ng serverless client upang mag-upload o magpatakbo ng napiling function:

from qiskit_ibm_catalog import QiskitServerless

serverless = QiskitServerless(
channel="ibm_quantum_platform",
instance="INSTANCE_CRN",
token="YOUR_API_KEY" # Use the 44-character API_KEY you created and saved from the IBM Quantum Platform Home dashboard
)

Opsyonal, gamitin ang save_account() upang i-save ang iyong mga credential sa isang lokal na environment (tingnan ang gabay na I-set up ang iyong IBM Cloud account). Tandaan na isinusulat nito ang iyong mga credential sa parehong file tulad ng QiskitRuntimeService.save_account():

QiskitServerless.save_account(token="YOUR_API_KEY", channel="ibm_quantum_platform", instance="INSTANCE_CRN")

Kung ang account ay naka-save na, hindi na kailangang ibigay ang token upang mag-authenticate:

from qiskit_ibm_catalog import QiskitServerless

serverless = QiskitServerless()

I-upload ang template​

Upang mag-upload ng custom na Qiskit Function, kailangan mo munang mag-instantiate ng isang QiskitFunction object na tumutukoy sa function source code. Ang pamagat ay magbibigay-daan sa iyo na tukuyin ang function kapag nasa remote cluster na ito. Ang pangunahing entry point ay ang file na naglalaman ng if __name__ == "__main__". Kung ang iyong workflow ay nangangailangan ng mga karagdagang source file, maaari kang tumukoy ng isang working directory na ia-upload kasama ang entry point.

from qiskit_ibm_catalog import QiskitFunction

template = QiskitFunction(
title="sqd_pcm_template",
entrypoint="sqd_pcm_entrypoint.py",
working_dir="./source_files/", # all files in this directory will be uploaded
dependencies=[
"ffsim==0.0.54",
"pyscf==2.9.0",
"qiskit_addon_sqd==0.10.0",
],
)
print(template)
QiskitFunction(sqd_pcm_template)

Kapag handa na ang instance, i-upload ito sa serverless:

serverless.upload(template)
QiskitFunction(sqd_pcm_template)

Upang suriin kung matagumpay na na-upload ang program, gamitin ang serverless.list():

serverless.list()
[QiskitFunction(sqd_pcm_template),
QiskitFunction(hamiltonian_simulation_template)]

I-load at patakbuhin ang template nang remote​

Na-upload na ang function template, kaya maaari mo na itong patakbuhin nang remote gamit ang Qiskit Serverless. Una, i-load ang template ayon sa pangalan:

template = serverless.load("sqd_pcm_template")
print(template)
QiskitFunction(sqd_pcm_template)

Susunod, patakbuhin ang template gamit ang domain-level inputs para sa SQD-IEF PCM. Ang halimbawang ito ay tumutukoy sa isang methanol-based workload.

"""Approximate the ground state given molecular integrals and a set of electronic configurations.

Args:
bitstring_matrix: A set of configurations defining the subspace onto which the Hamiltonian
will be projected and diagonalized. This is a 2D array of ``bool`` representations of bit
values such that each row represents a single bitstring. The spin-up configurations
should be specified by column indices in range ``(N, N/2]``, and the spin-down
configurations should be specified by column indices in range ``(N/2, 0]``, where ``N``
is the number of qubits.

(DEPRECATED) The configurations may also be specified by a length-2 tuple of sorted 1D
arrays containing unsigned integer representations of the determinants. The two lists
should represent the spin-up and spin-down orbitals, respectively.

To build PCM model PySCF needs the structure of the molecule. Hence, the electron integrals
(hcore and eri) are not enough to form IEF-PCM simulation. Instead the "start.chk" file is used.
This workflow also requires additional information about solute and solvent,
which is reflected by additional arguments below

myeps: Dielectric parameter of the solvent.
mysolvmethod: Solvent model, which can be IEF-PCM, COSMO, C-PCM, SS(V)PE,
see https://manual.q-chem.com/5.4/topic_pcm-em.html
At the moment only IEF-PCM was tested.
In principle two other models from PySCF "solvent" module can be used as well,
namely SMD and polarizable embedding (PE).
The SMD and PE were not tested yet and their usage requires addition of more
input arguments for "solve_solvent".
myavas: This argument allows user to select active space in solute with AVAS.
The corresponding list should include target atomic orbitals.
If myavas=None, then active space selected based on number of orbitals
derived from ci_strs.
It is assumed that if myavas=None, then the target calculation is either
a) corresponds to full basis case.
b) close to full basis case and only few core orbitals are excluded.
num_orbitals: Number of orbitals, which is essential when myavas = None.
In AVAS case number of orbitals and electrons is derived by AVAS procedure itself.
spin_sq: Target value for the total spin squared for the ground state.
If ``None``, no spin will be imposed.
max_davidson: The maximum number of cycles of Davidson's algorithm
verbose: A verbosity level between 0 and 10
checkpoint_file: Name of the checkpoint file

NOTE: For now open shell functionality is not supported in SQD PCM calculations.
Hence, at the moment solve_solvent does not include open_shell as one of the arguments.

Returns:
- Minimum energy from SCI calculation
- The SCI ground state
- Average occupancy of the alpha and beta orbitals, respectively
- Expectation value of spin-squared
- Solvation free energy

Main entry point for the SQD-PCM (Polarizable Continuum Model) workflow.

This function encapsulates the end-to-end execution of the algorithm.

Args:
backend_name: Identifier for the target backend, required for all
workflows that access IBM Quantum hardware.

molecule: dictionary with molecule information:
- "atom" (str): required field, follows pyscf specification for atomic geometry.
For example, for methanol the value would be::

- "verbosity" (int): optional field, default is 0
- "charge" (int): optional field, default is 0
- "spin" (int): optional field, default is 0
- "avas_selection" (list[str] | None): optional field, default is None

solvent_options: dictionary with solvent options information:
- "method" (str): required field. Method for computing solvent reaction field
for the PCM. Accepted values are: "IEF-PCM", "COSMO",
"C-PCM", "SS(V)PE", see https://manual.q-chem.com/5.4/topic_pcm-em.html
- "eps" (float): required field. Dielectric constant of the solvent in the PCM.

sqd_options: dictionary with sqd options information:
- "sqd_iterations" (int): required field.
- "number_of_batches" (int): required field.
- "samples_per_batch" (int): required field.
- "max_davidson_cycles" (int): required field.

lucj_options: optional dictionary with lucj options information:
- "optimization_level" (int): optional field, default is 2
- "initial_layout" (list[int]): optional field, default is None
- "dynamical_decoupling" (bool): optional field, default is True
- "twirling" (bool): optional field, default is True
- "number_of_shots" (int): optional field, default is 10000

**kwargs
Optional keyword arguments to customize behavior. Existing kwargs include:
- "files_name" (str): optional name for output files (enabled for local testing)
- "testing_backend" (FakeBackendV2): optional fake backend instance to bypass
qiskit runtime service instantiation (enabled for local testing)
- "count_dict_file_name" (str): path to a count dict file to bypass primitive
execution and jump directly to SQD section (enabled for local testing)

Returns:
The function should return the execution results as a dictionary with string keys.
This is to ensure compatibility with ``qiskit_serverless.save_result``.
