Quantum dropout: On and over the hardness of quantum approximate optimization algorithm

A combinatorial optimization problem becomes very difficult in situations where the energy landscape is rugged, and the global minimum locates in a narrow region of the configuration space. When using the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) to tackle these harder cases, we find that di...
