1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Quantum chemical calculations on quantum computers have been focused mostly on simulating molecules in the gas phase. Molecules in liquid solution are, however, most relevant for chemistry. Continuum solvation models represent a good compromise between computational affordability and accuracy in describing solvation effects within a quantum chemical description of solute molecules. In this work, we extend the variational quantum eigensolver to simulate solvated systems using the polarizable continuum model. To account for the state dependent solute-solvent interaction we generalize the variational quantum eigensolver algorithm to treat non-linear molecular Hamiltonians. We show that including solvation effects does not impact the algorithmic efficiency. Numerical results of noiseless simulations for molecular systems with up to 12 spin-orbitals (qubits) are presented. Furthermore, calculations performed on a simulated noisy quantum hardware (IBM Q, Mumbai) yield computed solvation free energies in fair agreement with the classical calculations.
