The Dynamical Lie Algebra of QAOA-MaxCut on the Complete Graph
Jonathan Allcock, Pei Yuan, Shengyu Zhang
We give an analytical expression for the dynamical Lie algebra corresponding to the QAOA-MaxCut problem on complete graphs, and show that the variance of the associated loss functi…

QAOA-MaxCut has barren plateaus for almost all graphs
Rui Mao, Pei Yuan, Jonathan Allcock +1
The QAOA has been the subject of intense study over recent years, yet the corresponding Dynamical Lie Algebra (DLA)--a key indicator of the expressivity and trainability of VQAs--r…

On generating direct powers of dynamical Lie algebras
Jonathan Allcock, Miklos Santha, Pei Yuan +1
The expressibility and trainability of parameterized quantum circuits has been shown to be intimately related to their associated dynamical Lie algebras (DLAs). From a quantum algo…
