Benchmarking a wide range of optimisers for solving the Fermi-Hubbard model using the variational quantum eigensolver

Benjamin D. M. Jones, Lana Mineh, Ashley Montanaro

We numerically benchmark 30 optimisers on 372 instances of the variational quantum eigensolver for solving the Fermi-Hubbard system with the Hamiltonian variational ansatz. We rank…
