Abstract
In a general aspect, values of input parameters for a quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) are selected by a Bayesian optimizer. The QAOA can be configured to solve a combinatorial optimization problem (COP), such as Maximum Cut. A hybrid classical-quantum computing system can be used to execute the QAOA and select the input parameters.
