Quantum alternating operator ansatz with block-ring mixer and hot-start strategy for graph edit distance problem
A novel Quantum Alternating Operator Ansatz for the Graph Edit Distance Problem (QAOAz-GED) with the block-ring mixer and hot-start strategy is proposed, which achieves competitive performance compared with QAOA and QAOAz in terms of hamming error and solution accuracy, and reduces the mean hamming error in several tes...
