Exponentially many initializations to avoid barren plateaus
Ankit Kulshrestha, Ricard Puig, Diego GarcÃa-MartÃn +4
Barren plateaus are stated as an average-case phenomenon: pick an ansatz, initialize it naively, and concentration follows. This has led to the common view that a potential cure fo…

Large-scale simulations of Floquet physics on near-term quantum computers
Timo Eckstein, Refik Mansuroglu, Piotr Czarnik +5
Periodically driven quantum systems exhibit a diverse set of phenomena but are more challenging to simulate than their equilibrium counterparts. Here, we introduce the Quantum High…
