VARIATIONAL QUANTUM OPTIMIZATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240020568 titled 'VARIATIONAL QUANTUM OPTIMIZATION

Simplified Explanation

The abstract of the patent application describes a method for solving a variational quantum optimization problem using a hybrid quantum-classical computing system. The system consists of a classical digital computer and a quantum computer. The method involves minimizing a cost function that is composed of n variables, each of which can have up to p different values. The quantum computer is designed with as many qubits as there are variables in the cost function, with each qubit having p maximally orthogonal states. A quantum circuit is configured to perform various operations on the qubits, where each qubit represents a variable of the cost function and each maximally orthogonal state represents a possible value for that variable.
