QCHALLenge publications at ICAART 24 in Rome

(March 6, 2024/Rome) Contributing to the exploration of applications and fundamental research in quantum machine learning (QML), members of the QCHALLenge consortium presented four accepted papers at the Internatinal Conference on Agents and Machine Learning in Rome. Two of these papers originated from the QC Optimization Challenge at LMU, shedding light on the application of QML for modelling chemical processes as well as anomaly detection. in the other two papers, we prosed (1) an AI-inspired ansatz design for the architecture of parameterized quantum circuits, and (2), a sequential assembly of the Cost-Hamiltonian in the Variational Quantum Eigensolver, that shows one way of tackling the problem of barren-plateaus.
