Overview of this book

This book provides deep coverage of modern quantum algorithms that can be used to solve real-world problems. You’ll be introduced to quantum computing using a hands-on approach with minimal prerequisites. You’ll discover many algorithms, tools, and methods to model optimization problems with the QUBO and Ising formalisms, and you will find out how to solve optimization problems with quantum annealing, QAOA, Grover Adaptive Search (GAS), and VQE. This book also shows you how to train quantum machine learning models, such as quantum support vector machines, quantum neural networks, and quantum generative adversarial networks. The book takes a straightforward path to help you learn about quantum algorithms, illustrating them with code that’s ready to be run on quantum simulators and actual quantum computers. You’ll also learn how to utilize programming frameworks such as IBM’s Qiskit, Xanadu’s PennyLane, and D-Wave’s Leap. Through reading this book, you will not only build a solid foundation of the fundamentals of quantum computing, but you will also become familiar with a wide variety of modern quantum algorithms. Moreover, this book will give you the programming skills that will enable you to start applying quantum methods to solve practical problems right away.

7.2 Introducing VQE

The goal of the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) is to find a ground state of a given Hamiltonian . This Hamiltonian can describe, for instance, the energy of a certain physical or chemical process, and we will use some such examples in the following two sections, which will cover how to execute VQE with Qiskit and PennyLane. For the moment, however, we will keep everything abstract and focus on finding a state such that is minimum. Note that in this section, we will be using to refer to the Hamiltonian so that it does not get confused with the Hadamard matrix that we will also be using in our computations.

To learn more

VQE is by no means the only quantum algorithm that has been proposed to find the ground states of Hamiltonians. Some very promising options use a quantum subroutine known as Quantum Phase Estimation (QPE) (see, for instance, the excellent surveys by McArdle et al. [66] and by Cao et al. [22]). The main disadvantage of these approaches...
