Missing Puzzle Pieces in the Performance Landscape of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm

Quantum Journal @ 2025-10-22 14:30:40

Quantum 9, 1892 (2025). We consider the maximum cut and maximum independent set problems on random regular graphs in the infinite-size limit, and calculate the energy densities achieved by QAOA for high degrees

Generating random points in Colorado

The Endeavour @ 2025-10-22 14:08:22

The previous post looked at how to generate random points on a sphere, generating spherical coordinates directly. I wanted to include a demonstration that this generates points with the same distribution as the more customary way of generating points on a

Random spherical coordinates

The Endeavour @ 2025-10-22 14:06:16

The topic of generating random points on a unit sphere has come up several times here. The standard method using normal random samples generates points (x, y, z) in Cartesian coordinates. If you wanted points in spherical coordinates, you could first gene
