Multidimensional optical spectroscopies are powerful techniques to investigate energy transfer pathways in natural and artificial systems. Because of the high information content of the spectra, numerical simulations of the optical response are of primary importance to assist the interpretation of spectral features. However, the increasing complexity of the investigated systems and their quantum dynamics call for the development of novel simulation strategies. In this work, we consider using digital quantum computers. By combining quantum dynamical simulation and nonlinear response theory, we present a quantum algorithm for computing the optical response of molecular systems. The quantum advantage stems from the efficient quantum simulation of the dynamics governed by the molecular Hamiltonian, and it is demonstrated by explicitly considering exciton-vibrational coupling. The protocol is tested on a near-term quantum device, providing the digital quantum simulation of the linear and nonlinear response of simple molecular models.
