QubitHub

qubithublih-ground-state

Finds the ground state energy of lithium hydride (LiH) using VQE — scaling from 2 qubits (H2) to 4 qubits with a 2-layer hardware-efficient ansatz and 16 variational parameters. Uses a simplified 9-term Hamiltonian with exact ground state -7.8825 Hartree (FCI/STO-3G).
