Squeezing and quantum approximate optimization
Gopal Chandra Santra, Fred Jendrzejewski, Philipp Hauke, Daniel J. Egger · Physical Review A · 2024
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.
