Bridging the NISQ and Fault-Tolerant Regimes: Generative-ML-Assisted Quantum Selected CI for Molecular Simulations

arXiv:2606.30551v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Calculation of binding energies for protein-ligand molecular systems requires accurate treatment of the electronic structure, a quantum chemistry problem that scales exponentially on classical hardware, while current quantum hardware remains too noisy for the required circuit depths. This report presents a hybrid quantum-classical workflow performed on the Fujitsu FX700 ideal state-vector simulator using QARP that addresses two structural inefficiencies in quantum-sampling-based diagonalization workflows. First, we integrate the Linear Scaling
