An Improved Approximation Algorithm for Quantum Max-Cut on Triangle-Free Graphs

We give an approximation algorithm for Quantum Max-Cut which works by rounding an SDP relaxation to an entangled quantum state. The SDP is used to choose the parameters of a variational quantum circuit. The entangled state is then represented as the quantum circuit applied to a product state. It ach...
