EXTERNAL MENTOR: Mafalda Ramôa, Virginia Tech Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering
Magic and entanglement are both necessary for quantum advantage. These resources have been studied in the context of the QAOA algorithm (see arXiv:2205.12283, arXiv:2505.17185); the purpose of this project is to study their role in ADAPT-VQE.
Goal 1: Analyze the evolution of these resources along the ADAPT-VQE optimization and along the final optimized quantum circuit.
Goal 2: Understand the interplay between these resources and operator performance.
