AbstractQuantum computing has the potential to transform scientific discovery and technological innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence, molecular simulation, biotechnology, and secure information processing. Variational quantum algorithms are among the most promising approaches for near-term quantum computing, but existing optimization methods used to train these algorithms often become unreliable when quantum measurements are highly noisy or when problems become very large. These limitatio
