Berkeley Lab’s MODMD Approach Advances Quantum Simulations Beyond Ground States
Berkeley Lab researchers unveiled a hybrid framework called multi‑observable dynamic mode decomposition (MODMD) that pairs rapid quantum “snapshots” with classical dynamic mode decomposition to compute both ground‑state and excited‑state energies of molecules. By limiting quantum circuit depth and offloading heavy data analysis to classical processors, MODMD extracts multiple energy levels with a fraction of the resources typical of conventional quantum algorithms. The method demonstrates that today’s noisy intermediate‑scale quantum (NISQ) devices can deliver chemically relevant spectral information, a milestone for practical quantum chemistry.
