Adaptive quantum simulation algorithms: state of the art and outlook Qiskit Quantum Seminar with Sophia Economou Abstract: Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) constitute a class of hybrid quantum-classical simulation algorithms that are envisioned for quantum simulation and optimization, possibly in the near term. For VQAs to be useful, it is important to reduce the size of the ansatz and the number of required measurements. I will present our work addressing these challenges with ADAPT-VQE, an adaptive, problem tailored approach to ansatz construction. I will also discuss a pulse-based alternative for variational algorithms. Bio: Sophia E. Economou is an American physicist who is a professor and the T.
