SUMMARY:Variational quantum algorithms: obstacles and opportunities
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:COLLOQUIUM FEATURING SERGEY BRAVYI IBM RESEARCH\n\nVariational 
 quantum algorithms such as VQE or QAOA aim to simulate\nlow-energy propert
 ies of quantum many-body systems or find approximate\nsolutions of combina
 torial optimization problems. Such algorithms\nemploy variational states g
 enerated by low-depth quantum circuits to\nminimize the expected value of 
 a quantum or classical Hamiltonian.
