Generating target graph couplings for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm from native quantum hardware couplings
We present methods for constructing any target coupling graph using limited global controls in an Ising-like quantum spin system. Our approach is motivated by implementing the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) on trapped-ion quantum hardware to find approximate solutions to MaxCut. We present a mathematical description of the problem and …
