Simulation of the QAOA Algorithm at the JINR Quantum Testbed
摘要
Simulation of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) was performed using the Cirq software library installed on the HybriLIT quantum computing testbed at JINR. The problem of finding the lowest energy state for the Ising model with a longitudinal magnetic field was solved for two- and three-dimensional lattices of various sizes. Quantum circuits with registers up to 27 qubits were investigated during the study. Optimization of the variational ansatz parameters was carried out using both gradient-based and gradient-free methods. The processes and results of optimization carried out by various methods were compared by a number of parameters.The influence of the configuration of the computing resources used on the efficiency of calculations has been demonstrated.
