Topological and geometric patterns in optimal bang-bang protocols for variational quantum algorithms: Application to the XXZ model on the square lattice

In this paper, we address the challenge of uncovering patterns in variational optimal protocols for taking the system to ground states of many-body Hamiltonians, using variational quantum algorithms. We develop highly optimized classical Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms to find the optimal protocols for...
