We discuss the ctrl-VQE algorithm, a variant of the popular Variational Quantum Eigensolver for solving molecular electronic states which has the potential to reduce runtimes on a quantum computer by orders of magnitude. Our most recent implementation of ctrl-VQE using Julia allows us to simulate our algorithm much faster than our previous Python code, enabling a more thorough analysis which has revealed strategies to improve the runtime of the algorithm even more.
