Squeezing and quantum approximate optimization
Gopal Chandra Santra, Fred Jendrzejewski, Philipp Hauke, Daniel J. Egger
Abstract
The authors study the connection between the solution of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) and the generation of squeezed states. In doing so, they reveal a tight connection between the two seemingly unrelated fields of quantum metrology and computing. They also suggest the potential use of squeezing as a benchmark for assessing the quality of quantum algorithms.
