  1. ADAPT results refer to simulations with batched ADAPT-VQE since the original ADAPT-VQE is too costly for CO2 molecule. For ADAPT methods, we provide results after satisfying different convergence criteria. "f-UCCSD" refers to VQE-UCCSD result. Exact energy is computed by full configuration interaction method. ΔER – electronic energy of the reaction in kcal/mol; \(\max {g}_{i}\), g – maximum derivative value and gradient norm, respectively.
