11. VARIATIONAL QUANTUM ALGORITHM EXPERTISE
Zapata’s founders helped create the field of near-term quantum algorithms including the invention
of VQE, the progenitor of variational quantum algorithms:
• Zapata co-founder, Alan Aspuru-Guzik, is the pioneering father of VQE
▪ In 2006, Alan proposed the first practical application of a QC, namely solving quantum chemistry
problems. The proposed algorithm only run in a FTQC.
▪ In 2013, faced with the limitations of building FTQC, Alan proposed VQE, the first near-term algorithm for
QC. He led the theoretical development of VQE and helped establish what we can do on NISQ devices
• Four out of the five most cited papers on VQE were co-written by Zapata’s scientists
313 citations 249 citations353 citations 215 citations 67 citations
