• Abstract: We propose and analyze the use of Bayesian optimization techniques to design quantum annealing schedules with minimal user and resource requirements. We showcase our scheme with results for two paradigmatic spin models. We find that Bayesian optimization is able to identify schedules resulting in fidelities several orders of magnitude better than standard protocols for both quantum and reverse annealing, as applied to the $p$-spin model. We also show that our scheme can help improve the design of hybrid quantum algorithms for hard combinatorial optimization problems, such as the maximum independent set problem, and illustrate these results via experiments on a neutral atom quantum processor available on Amazon Braket.

  In this paper, we build on the promising potential of parameter transferability across problem instances with similar local structures. Our study reveals that, for Maximum Independent Set problems on graph families with shared geometries, optimal parameters naturally concentrate. We apply this method to address a smart-charging optimisation problem on a real dataset.

  Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) are considered as one of the most encouraging approaches for taking advantage of near-term quantum computers in practical applications. Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
