Asynchronous Quantum Computing for Variational Quantum Algorithms

Project Description:

In this Qhack 2022 Open Hackathon, we propose to re-implement concepts related to asynchronous Quantum Computing, also framed as Ensemble Quantum Computing, for Variational Quantum Algorithms (https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.14940). Rather than relying on just one physical device (or backend), we run algorithms on several machines/backends, which can speed up runtime of algorithms. VQE and QAOA have been targeted, but this can be applied to other algorithms and applications such as Quantum Machine Learning, Finance, etc.
