CVaR দিয়ে পরিবর্তনশীল (ভ্যারিয়েশনাল) কোয়ান্টাম অপটিমাইজেশন উন্নতি করা#

ভূমিকা#

This notebook shows how to use the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) objective function introduced in [1] within the variational quantum optimization algorithms provided by Qiskit Algorithms. Particularly, it is shown how to setup the MinimumEigenOptimizer using SamplingVQE accordingly. For a given set of shots with corresponding objective values of the considered optimization problem, the CVaR with confidence level \(\alpha \in [0, 1]\) is defined as the average of the \(\alpha\) best shots. Thus, \(\alpha = 1\) corresponds to the standard expected value, while \(\alpha=0\) corresponds to the minimum of the given shots, and \(\alpha \in (0, 1)\) is a tradeoff between focusing on better shots, but still applying some averaging to smoothen the optimization landscape.
