• Abstract summary: We introduce a method capable of avoiding the barren plateau phenomenon in the variational determination of the geometric measure of entanglement for a large number of qubits. We analytically demonstrate that the local functions can be efficiently estimated and optimized. In particular, the method allows for escaping from barren plateaus induced by hardware noise or global functions defined on high-dimensional systems.

• Abstract: The barren plateau phenomenon is one of the main obstacles to implementing variational quantum algorithms in the current generation of quantum processors. Here, we introduce a method capable of avoiding the barren plateau phenomenon in the variational determination of the geometric measure of entanglement for a large number of qubits. The method is based on measuring compatible two-qubit local functions whose optimization allows for achieving a well-suited initial condition, from which a global function can be further optimized without encountering a barren plateau. We analytically demonstrate that the local functions can be efficiently estimated and optimized. Numerical simulations up to 18-qubit GHZ and W states demonstrate that the method converges to the exact value. In particular, the method allows for escaping from barren plateaus induced by hardware noise or global functions defined on high-dimensional systems. Numerical simulations with noise are in agreement with experiments carried out on IBM's quantum processors for 7 qubits.

  Quantum algorithms for quantum dynamics simulations are traditionally based on implementing a Trotter-approximation of the time-evolution operator. variational quantum algorithms have become an indispensable alternative, enabling small-scale simulations on present-day hardware. We show that, despite providing a clear reduction of quantum gate cost, the variational method in its current implementation is unlikely to lead to a quantum advantage.
