Abstract

A hybrid quantum classical (HQC) computer, which includes both a classical computer component and a quantum computer component, implements improvements to the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) which enable QAOA to be applied to valuable problem instances (e.g., those including several thousand or more qubits) using near-term quantum computers.
