Quantum Chemistry (QC) is one of the most promising applications of Quantum Computing. However, present quantum processing units (QPUs) are still subject to large errors. Therefore, noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) hardware is limited in terms of qubits counts and circuit depths. Specific algorithms such as Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQEs) can potentially overcome such issues. We introduce here a novel open-source QC package, denoted Open-VQE, providing tools for using and developing chemically-inspired adaptive methods derived from Unitary Coupled Cluster (UCC). It facilitates the development and testing of VQE algorithms. It is able to use the Atos Quantum Learning Machine (QLM), a general quantum programming framework enabling to write, optimize and simulate quantum computing programs. Along with Open-VQE, we introduce myQLM-Fermion, a new open-source module (that includes the key QLM ressources that are important for QC developments (fermionic second quantization tools etc...). The Open-VQE package extends therefore QLM to QC providing: (i) the functions to generate the different types of excitations beyond the commonly used UCCSD ans{\"a}tz;(ii) a new implementation of the "adaptive derivative assembled pseudo-Trotter method" (ADAPT-VQE), written in simple class structure python codes. Interoperability with other major quantum programming frameworks is ensured thanks to myQLM, which allows users to easily build their own code and execute it on existing QPUs. The combined Open-VQE/myQLM-Fermion quantum simulator facilitates the implementation, tests and developments of variational quantum algorithms towards choosing the best compromise to run QC computations on present quantum computers while offering the possibility to test large molecules. We provide extensive benchmarks for several molecules associated to qubit counts ranging from 4 up to 24.
