Title：

Theories about Variational Quantum Algorithm and Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz

Abstract:

This talk will introduce two theories about VQA (Variational quantum algorithm)/QAOA (Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz): (discretized) adiabatic evolution, and dynamical lie algebra. The former gives an insight on the minimal depth of the circuit required for a specific problem, and the latter examines the feasibility of the classical optimization.

Bio: Kangyun Zhou is a student of the Lingjun Program at Qiuzhen College, Tsinghua University, supervised by Prof. Jin-Peng Liu.

The results allow usto calculate the boundary energy of the system in the thermodynamic limit. The method used herecan be generalized to study the thermodynamic properties and boundary energy of other high rankmodels ...
