Quantum Approximate Optimization with a Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator

2019 · arXiv (Cornell University)

Quantum computers and simulators may offer significant advantages over their classical counterparts, providing insights into quantum many-body systems and possibly solving exponentially hard problems, such as optimization and satisfiability. Here we report the first implementation …

Demonstration of a CAFQA-bootstrapped Variational Quantum Eigensolver on a Trapped-Ion Quantum Computer

2024 · arXiv (Cornell University)

To enhance the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), the CAFQA method can utilize classical computational capabilities to identify a better initial state than the Hartree-Fock method. Previous research has demonstrated that the initial state provided by …
