Quantum circuit synthesis for fermionic excitations in coupled cluster theory using the Jordan-Wigner mapping

This work provides a quantum-computing-first derivation of the Unitary Coupled Cluster ansatz, showing that its structure emerges naturally from fermionic algebra under unitary constraints. By explicitly connecting second quantization, Jordan-Wigner mapping, and circuit synthesis, we clarify conceptual gaps between quantum chemistry and quantum computing implementations, particularly regarding operator locality, commutation structure, and hardware realization.
