Quadratic Clifford expansion for efficient benchmarking and initialization of variational quantum algorithms

Variational quantum algorithms are considered to be appealing applications of near-term quantum computers. However, it has been unclear whether they can outperform classical algorithms or not. To reveal their limitations, we must seek a technique to benchmark them on large-scale problems. Here we pr...
