On Near-Term Quantum Computation: Theoretical Aspects of Variational Quantum Algorithms and Quantum Computational Supremacy

In recent years, programmable quantum devices have reached sizes and complexities which put them outside the regime of simulation on modern supercomputers. However, since their computational power is not well understood, it’s not obvious what to do with them! Of course, there are several ideas, and...
