QUEASARS - Quantum Evolving Ansatz Variational Solver

QUEASARS is an open-source, qiskit-based, python package implementing quantum variational eigensolvers which use evolutionary algorithms to find a good ansatz during the optimization process, like E-VQE, MoG-VQE or QNEAT. Currently only EVQE is implemented.

QUEASARS is developed as part of a research project of the Quantum Space Operations Center (QSOC) at the German Space Operations Center (GSOC).
