We highlight the practical challenges encountered in mapping the algorithm to physical hardware, and the software engineering considerations needed to achieve realistic results on today's non-fault-tolerant systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-11-19T23:19:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "case study", "quantum mini-apps", "engineering applications", "commonly encountered partial differential equation", "variational quantum algorithm" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
