The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) is a hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithm designed to tackle combinatorial optimization problems. Despite its promise for near-term quantum applications, not much currently understood about QAOA's performance beyond lowest-depth variant. An essential but missing ingredient understanding and deploying QAOA constructive approach carry out the outer-loop classical optimization. We provide an in-depth study of on MaxCut problems by...

Neutral-atom arrays have recently emerged as a promising platform for quantum information processing. One important remaining roadblock the large-scale application of these systems is ability to perform error-corrected operations. To entangle qubits in systems, atoms are typically excited Rydberg states, which could decay or give rise various correlated errors that cannot be addressed directly through traditional methods fault-tolerant computation.
