  • The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE), a type of variational quantum algorithm, is a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm to find the lowest-energy eigenstate of a particular Hamiltonian. We investigate ways to optimize the VQE solving process on multiple instances of the same problem, by observing the process on one instance of the problem to inform initialization for other processes. We aim to take advantage of the VQE solution process to obtain useful information while disregarding information which we can predict to not be very useful. In particular, we find that the solution process produces lots of data with very little new information. Therefore, we can safely disregard much of this repetitive information with little effect on the outcome of the solution process.
