Towards determining the presence of barren plateaus in some chemically inspired variational quantum algorithms
Abstract In quantum chemistry, the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is a promising algorithm for molecular simulations on near-term quantum computers. However, VQEs using hardware-efficient circuits face scaling challenges due to the barren plateau problem. This raises the question of whether c...
