This video is the best video about QAOA I could find on the web. I just have a question: I did not get why the Hamiltonian is defined as "classical" at minute 10:11. How do I infere this piece of information at this point in the presentation? I mean no criticism here, but it is given as "2 plus 2 is 4", and my problem is that it does not seem so straightforward to me. Thank you very much!
Thanks for your comment! This is simply to highlight that the Hamiltonian is diagonal, in contrast to Hamiltonians that have off-diagonal elements such as those that arise in chemistry or in quantum many-body.
At 42:51, on the first line and second equality, there should be a minus sign in front of the exponent. The minus sign is also missing on the expression on the last line,
@@RuslanShaydulin I appreciate the correction. I also typed the comment below last night, but I don't know why it didn't go through: At 43:21, inside the right box, ("Simulated AQC"), the minus sign is also missing in the exponent. However, the beta and gamma at the bottom slide have the correct signs. That said, this lecture is excellent, clearly explained, and fairly easy to follow or work through. It is the best lecture on QAOA that I know of.
Excellent introduction to QAOA!
Perfect presentation and introduction to the QAOA - thank you very much!!
It is great! I can't conceive QAOA until watching this video.
Thank you very much... This clears up lots of doubts at once.

@@RuslanShaydulin Crystal clear now. Thank you very much!
at 10:11 could you please explain what do you mean by the hamiltonian is classical?
thanks ! very good tutorial !! I will recommend it to my colleagues and students
Excellent pedagogy!

Thank you! Fixed the slides posted at github.com/rsln-s/QAOA_tutorial

thanks MrRuslan, use full titurial for future research! thanks
Perfect! Thx
Great video !!!!
