Mitigating barren plateaus with transfer-learning-inspired parameter initializations

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are widely applied in the noisy intermediate-scale quantum era and are expected to demonstrate quantum advantage. However, training VQAs faces difficulties, one of which is the so-called barren plateaus (BPs) phenomenon, where gradients of cost functions vanish...
