• Abstract: Quantum annealing (QA) holds promise for optimization problems in quantum computing, especially for combinatorial optimization. This analog framework attracts attention for its potential to address complex problems. Its gate-based homologous, QAOA with proven performance, has brought lots of attention to the NISQ era. Several numerical benchmarks try to classify these two metaheuristics however, classical computational power highly limits the performance insights. In this work, we introduce a new parametrized version of QA enabling a precise 1-local analysis of the algorithm. We develop a tight Lieb-Robinson bound for regular graphs, achieving the best-known numerical value to analyze QA locally. Studying MaxCut over cubic graph as a benchmark optimization problem, we show that a linear-schedule QA with a 1-local analysis achieves an approximation ratio over 0.7020, outperforming any known 1-local algorithms.

  The quantum approximate optimisation algorithm (QAOA) is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm used to approximately solve optimisation problems. While QAOA can be implemented on NISQ devices, physical limitations can limit circuit depth and decrease performance. This work introduces the eXpressive QAOA (XQAOA) that assigns more classical parameters to the ansatz to improve its performance at low depths.

  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.
