VQLS

R_y(\alpha_i) = \mathbf{e}^{-\imath \; \alpha_i Y / 2}
V(\alpha)

\[ H = A^\dagger (\mathbb{I} - |b> <b|) A \]

\[ C = <x|H|x>\]

Goals Checklist

  • Study and analyze the performance of the Variational Quantum Linear Solver (VQLS) in general.
  • Solve some Multiphysics problems such as the Heat equation, etc. using VQLS.
  • Execute the results using Qiskit on both a simulator and a device.
  • Work with higher dimensions and employ Qiskit runtime and the local cost approach.
  • Study quantum chip qubits connectivity and use the error mitigation techniques which can significantly improve expectation values and therefore the final fidelity.
