Classical symmetries and the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm
Ruslan Shaydulin, Stuart Hadfield, Tad Hogg +1
We study the relationship between the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and the underlying symmetries of the objective function to be optimized. Our approach formal…
Ferromagnetically shifting the power of pausing
Zoe Gonzalez Izquierdo, Shon Grabbe, Stuart Hadfield +3
We study the interplay between quantum annealing parameters in embedded problems, providing both deeper insights into the physics of these devices and pragmatic recommendations to…
Characterizing local noise in QAOA circuits
Jeffrey Marshall, Filip Wudarski, Stuart Hadfield +1
Recently Xue et al. [arXiv:1909.02196] demonstrated numerically that QAOA performance varies as a power law in the amount of noise under certain physical noise models. In this shor…
