Per-Shot Evaluation of QAOA on Max-Cut: A Black-Box Implementation Comparison with Goemans-Williamson
Evgenii Dolzhkov, Franz G. Fuchs, Dirk Oliver Theis
The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) has emerged as a promising approach for addressing combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum hardware. In this…
Verifying a stabilizer state with few observables but many shots
Dirk Oliver Theis
We propose a quantum-state-certification protocol for stabilizer states, motivated by application in in-situ testing of NISQ-era quantum computer systems: The number of qubits is b…
"Proper" Shift Rules for Derivatives of Perturbed-Parametric Quantum Evolutions
Dirk Oliver Theis
Banchi & Crooks (Quantum, 2021) have given methods to estimate derivatives of expectation values depending on a parameter that enters via what we call a "perturbed" quantum evoluti…
Optimality of Finite-Support Parameter Shift Rules for Derivatives of Variational Quantum Circuits
Dirk Oliver Theis
Variational (or, parameterized) quantum circuits are quantum circuits that contain real-number parameters, that need to be optimized/"trained" in order to achieve the desired quant…
Partial Information Decomposition of Boolean Functions: a Fourier Analysis perspective
Abdullah Makkeh, Dirk Oliver Theis, Raul Vicente
Partial information decomposition (PID) partitions the information that a set of sources has about a target variable into synergistic, unique, and redundant contributions. This inf…
Information content of queries in training Parameterized Quantum Circuits
Evgenii Dolzhkov, Bahman Ghandchi, Dirk Oliver Theis
Parameterized quantum circuits (PQC, aka, variational quantum circuits) are among the proposals for a computational advantage over classical computation of near-term (not fault tol…
