qubithubh2-ground-state

Finds the ground state energy of the hydrogen molecule (H2) using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) — a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm that pairs a parameterized 2-qubit ansatz with COBYLA optimization. The qubit Hamiltonian is derived from the STO-3G basis via parity mapping with two-qubit reduction, giving an exact ground state of -1.1373 Hartree.
