We present a quantum algorithm to obtain the response of the atomic nucleus to a small external electromagnetic perturbation. The Hamiltonian of the system is presented by a harmonic oscillator, and the linear combination of unitaries (LCU) based method is utilized to simulate the Hamiltonian on the quantum computer. The output of the Hamiltonian simulation is utilized in calculating the dipole response with the SWAP test algorithm. The results of the response function computed using the quantum algorithm are compared with the experimental data and provide a good agreement. We show the results for 120Sn and 208Pb to corroborate with the experimental data in Sn and Pb region and also compare the results with those obtained using the conventional linear response theory.
