Abstract

We present the analysis of QAOA (quantum approximate optimization algorithm) with a random choice of quantum circuit parameters. It has been found that, on average, this approach outperforms the classical bruteforce on unweighted QUSO (quadratic unconstrained spin optimization) problems, including Max-Cut problems. It has been experimentally shown that this effect is based on the increase of the entropy of different objective values probabilities.
