In this document we assemble known projects and papers that use OpenFermion to both provide example use cases and document the ways its helping to impact electronic structure on quantum computers. If you'd like to include your own projects or papers, please contact us or submit a pull request updating this page.
The winning project of the Rigetti quantum computing hackathon that combined OpenFermion with Rigetti's framework, compressing molecular representations with an autoencoder.
Implementation of Compressed Unsupervised State Preparation (CUSP) protocol using OpenFermion and Cirq. CUSP uses the quantum autoencoder to synthesize more compact circuits to use for algorithms such as VQE.
