Natural Evolutionary Gradient Descent Strategy for Variational Quantum Algorithms

Recent research has demonstrated that parametric quantum circuits (PQCs) are affected by gradients that progressively vanish to zero as a function of the number of qubits. We show that using a combination of gradient-free natural evolutionary strategy and gradient descent can mitigate the possibilit...
