How to pick number of simulation qubits for finding eigenvalue of fermionic Hamiltonian?
I am having some trouble understanding how the number of simulation qubits are chosen when finding the eigenvalue of a fermionic Hamiltonian.
For the phase-estimation algorithm, is the number of ...

Default input states of qubits to quantum circuits [closed]
It is conventional to assume that the state input to the circuit is a
computational basis state, usually the state consisting of all
$|0\rangle$s. This rule is broken frequently in the literature ...

Threshold and practical requirements for initial state preparation?
At the beginning of a quantum computational process we generally want to start in a perfectly known initial state, and evolve from there. This cannot be done perfectly, for fundamental reasons, but I ...
