Abstract
Variational quantum algorithms such as VQE or QAOA aim at simulating low-energy properties of quantum many-body systems or finding approximate solutions of combinatorial optimization problems.
Such algorithms, designed for near-term quantum processors, employ variational states based on low-depth quantum circuits to minimize the expected energy of a Hamiltonian describing the system of interest.
