Quantum approximate optimization algorithm with adaptive bias fields

The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) transforms a simple many-qubit wave function into one that encodes a solution to a difficult classical optimization problem. It does this by optimizing the schedule according to which two unitary operators are alternately applied to the qubits. I...
