For example, we can use two categories of quantum circuits to sample from: - 1. A single ansatz is prepared that is believed to be a good representation of an eigenstate (e.g., ground state) of the target Hamiltonian. This is appealing for chemistry applications where Hamiltonians can have millions of interaction terms [1]. For an example of this approach applied to chemistry see the [tutorial for approximating the ground state energy of the N2 molecule](https://qiskit.github.io/qiskit-addon-sqd/tutorials/01_chemistry_hamiltonian.html). + 1.

A set of Krylov basis states are prepared over increasing time intervals. Assuming a good initial state and sparsity of the ground state, this approach is proven to converge efficiently.
