• Abstract: The parity mapping provides a geometrically local encoding of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), at the expense of having a quadratic qubit overhead for all-to-all connected problems. In this work, we benchmark the parity-encoded QAOA on spin-glass models. We address open questions in the scaling of this algorithm, and show that for fixed number of parity-encoded QAOA layers, the performance drops as $N^{-1/2}$. We perform tensor-network calculations to confirm this result, and comment on the concentration of optimal QAOA parameters over problem instances.

  We quantify scaling of the expected resource requirements by optimized circuits for hardware architectures with varying levels of connectivity. We show the number of measurements, and hence total time to synthesizing solution, grows exponentially in problem size and problem graph degree. These problems may be alleviated by increasing hardware connectivity or by recently proposed modifications to the QAOA that achieve higher performance with fewer circuit layers.

• Cross Entropy Hyperparameter Optimization for Constrained Problem Hamiltonians Applied to QAOA [68.11912614360878]
  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.
