What problem does it solve?

This skill helps users understand, implement, and apply the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) to Max-Cut problems, bridging theory and runnable code through a structured workflow.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Hybrid quantum-classical optimization: builds and runs QAOA circuits with configurable depth p on a given graph.
• End-to-end workflow: cost Hamiltonian construction, circuit mapping, COBYLA optimization, and result decoding/export.
• Educational and prototyping use: suitable for learning, experimentation, and evaluating QAOA performance on small graphs.

Quick Start

Run the provided script to execute a QAOA Max-Cut example on a 6-node graph.
