JuliQAOA: Fast, Flexible QAOA Simulation
DescriptionWe introduce JuliQAOA, a simulation package specifically built for the Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz (QAOA). JuliQAOA does not require a circuit-level description of QAOA problems, or another package to simulate such circuits, instead relying on a more direct linear algebra implementation. This allows for increased QAOA-specific performance enhancements, as well as improved flexibility and generality. JuliQAOA is the first QAOA package designed to aid in the study of both constrained and unconstrained combinatorial optimization problems, and can easily include novel cost functions, mixer Hamiltonians, and other variations. JuliQAOA also includes robust and extensible methods for learning optimal angles. Written in the Julia language, JuliQAOA outperforms existing QAOA software packages and scales well to HPC-level resources.
