During the workshop, two basic types of Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQA) will be introduced: the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) and the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE). It will also show how to convert real-world problems into Quadratic Unconstrained Binary Optimization (QUBO) form and how QAOA can then be used to solve them. Similarly, the practical use of VQE will be shown. The focus will be mainly on solving linear systems of equations, optimisation of power grids, or examples from quantum chemistry.
