Abstract
En 中文
Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) provide a promising approach to achieving quantum advantage for practical problems on near-term noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices. Thus far, most studies on VQAs have focused on qubit-based systems, but the power of VQAs can be potentially boosted by exploiting infinite-dimensional continuous-variable (CV) systems. Here, we implement the CV version of one VQA, a quantum approximate optimization algorithm, by developing an automated collaborative computing system between a programmable photonic quantum computer and a classical computer. We experimentally demonstrate that this algorithm solves the minimization problem of simple continuous functions by implementing the quantum version of gradient descent to localize an initially broadly distributed wave function to the minimum. This method allows the execution of a practical CV quantum algorithm on a physical platform. Our work can be extended to the minimization of more general functions, providing an alternative to achieve the quantum advantage in practical problems.
