Alignment between initial state and mixer improves QAOA performance for constrained optimization
Abstract Quantum alternating operator ansatz (QAOA) has a strong connection to the adiabatic algorithm, which it can approximate with sufficient depth. However, it is unclear to what extent the lessons from the adiabatic regime apply to QAOA as executed in practice with small to moderate depth. In t...
