TenCirChem is an open-source Python library for simulating variational quantum algorithms for quantum computational chemistry. TenCirChem shows high performance on the simulation of unitary coupled-cluster circuits, using compact representations of quantum states and excitation operators. Additionally, TenCirChem supports noisy circuit simulation and provides algorithms for variational quantum dynamics. TenCirChem's capabilities are demonstrated through various examples, such as the calculation of the potential energy curve of H₂O with a 6-31G(d) basis set using a 34-qubit quantum circuit, the examination of the impact of quantum gate errors on the variational energy of the H₂ molecule, and the exploration of the Marcus inverted region for charge transfer rate based on variational quantum dynamics. Furthermore, TenCirChem is capable of running real quantum hardware experiments, making it a versatile tool for both simulation and experimentation in the field of quantum computational chemistry.
