%tldr: It is argued that the evolution of quantum computing is unlikely to be different: hybrid algorithms are likely here to stay well past the NISQ era and even into full fault-tolerance, with the quantum processors augmenting the already powerful classical processors which exist by performing specialized tasks.

%tldr: Simulations suggest that compared with conventional hardware efficient ansatz, the circuit-structure-tunable method can generate circuits apparently more robust against both coherent and incoherent noise, and hence is more likely to be implemented on near-term devices.

%tldr: The evaluation using a quantum computer simulator with a noise model based on a real NISQ device shows that the proposed offline pruning technique improves the accuracy of U CCSD-VQE while sustaining the potential accuracy of the UCCSD ansatz and has a synergy with a well-known noise mitigation method called zero noise extrapolation (ZNE).

%tldr: An investigation into the impact of realistic noise on the classical optimizer and the determination of optimal circuit depth for the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) in the presence of noise shows that increasing the number of layers in the QAOA in an attempt to increase accuracy may not work well in a noisy device.
