Globally Optimizing QAOA Circuit Depth for Constrained Optimization Problems

We develop a global variable substitution method that reduces <i>n</i>-variable monomials in combinatorial optimization problems to equivalent instances with monomials in fewer variables. We apply this technique to 3-SAT and analyze the optimal quantum unitary circuit depth needed to sol...
