Optimizing a polynomial function on a quantum processor

Abstract The gradient descent method is central to numerical optimization and is the key ingredient in many machine learning algorithms. It promises to find a local minimum of a function by iteratively moving along the direction of the steepest descent. Since for high-dimensional problems the requir...
