DEF

A hybrid quantum/classical algorithm originally proposed to approximate the ground state of a quantum chemical system, i.e., the state attaining the minimum energy ...

CONT

... there is significant effort toward designing quantum algorithms that could be practically useful by quickly finding near-optimal solutions to these hard problems. Among these algorithms, two candidates are more likely to be efficiently implementable on noisy quantum computers: the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), and the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA).
