SUMMARY:JuliQAOA:  Fast, Flexible QAOA Simulation
DESCRIPTION:John Golden, Andreas Baertschi, Dan O'Malley, Elijah Pelofske,
  and Stephan Eidenbenz (Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL))\n\nWe intro
 duce JuliQAOA, a simulation package specifically built for the Quantum Alt
 ernating Operator Ansatz (QAOA). JuliQAOA does not require a circuit-level
  description of QAOA problems, or another package to simulate such circuit
 s, instead relying on a more direct linear algebra implementation. This al
 lows for increased QAOA-specific performance enhancements, as well as impr
 oved flexibility and generality. JuliQAOA is the first QAOA package design
 ed to aid in the study of both constrained and unconstrained combinatorial
  optimization problems, and can easily include novel cost functions, mixer
  Hamiltonians, and other variations. JuliQAOA also includes robust and ext
 ensible methods for learning optimal angles. Written in the Julia language
 , JuliQAOA outperforms existing QAOA software packages and scales well to 
 HPC-level resources.\n\nTag: Quantum Computing, Software Engineering\n\nRe
