Variational Quantum Simulation: A Case Study for Understanding Warm Starts by Ricard Puig, Marc Drudis, Supanut Thanasilp, Zoë Holmes

“…We start by proving that the iterative variational algorithm will exhibit substantial (at worst vanishing polynomially in system size) gradients in a small region around the initializations at each time step. Convexity guarantees for these regions are then established, suggesting trainability for polynomial-size time steps. …”
