Examples of Algorithms Combining Quantum and Classical Steps

A lot of educational resources on quantum computing focus on smaller examples of quantum algorithms that don’t require integration with classical software, skipping some essential steps of this workflow. Let’s consider several examples of quantum algorithms that combine quantum and classical components, thus serving as a better illustration for this workflow.

Some quantum chemistry applications rely on evaluating the ground state energy of a molecule—the lowest possible energy among all configurations of that molecule. The input to the quantum part of such an application will include a description of the structure of the molecule that needs to be modeled. This description can be very complicated, and most likely you’ll produce it using classical chemistry simulation packages. In this case, your application’s workflow will include several steps:

Selecting the molecule to work with
