Quantum simulation of chemistry and materials is predicted to be an important application for both near-term and fault-tolerant quantum devices. However, at present, developing and studying algorithms for these problems can be difficult due to the prohibitive amount of domain knowledge required in both the area of chemistry and quantum algorithms. To help bridge this gap and open the field to more researchers, we have developed the OpenFermion software package ( www.openfermion.org [http://www.openfermion.org] ). OpenFermion is an open-source software library written largely in Python under an Apache 2.0 license, aimed at enabling the simulation of fermionic and bosonic models and quantum chemistry problems on quantum hardware. Beginning with an interface to common electronic structure packages, it simplifies the translation between a molecular specification and a quantum circuit for solving or studying the electronic structure problem on a quantum computer, minimizing...

OpenFermion：量子计算机的电子结构包

预计化学和材料的量子模拟将是短期和容错量子设备的重要应用。但是，由于在化学和量子算法领域都需要大量的领域知识，目前，开发和研究用于这些问题的算法可能很困难。为了帮助弥合这一差距并为更多的研究人员打开视野，我们开发了OpenFermion软件包（www.openfermion.org [http://www.openfermion.org]）。OpenFermion是一个开源软件库，主要在Apache 2.0许可下使用Python编写，旨在在量子硬件上模拟费米离子和玻色子模型以及量子化学问题。从常见电子结构包的接口开始，
