• Abstract: Optimizing parameterized quantum circuits promises efficient use of near-term quantum computers to achieve the potential quantum advantage. However, there is a notorious tradeoff between the expressibility and trainability of the parameter ansatz. We find that in combinatorial optimization problems, since the solutions are described by bit strings, one can trade the expressiveness of the ansatz for high trainability. To be specific, by focusing on the max-cut problem we introduce a simple yet efficient algorithm named Quantum Qubit Rotation Algorithm (QQRA). The quantum circuits are comprised with single-qubit rotation gates implementing on each qubit. The rotation angles of the gates can be trained free of barren plateaus. Thus, the approximate solution of the max-cut problem can be obtained with probability close to 1. To illustrate the effectiveness of QQRA, we compare it with the well known quantum approximate optimization algorithm and the classical Goemans-Williamson algorithm.

  Matching problems on 3D shapes and images are frequently formulated as quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with permutation matrix constraints, which are NP-hard. We propose several reformulations of QAPs as unconstrained problems suitable for efficient execution on quantum hardware. The proposed algorithm has the potential to scale to higher dimensions on future quantum computing architectures.
