Excited to have a preprint out, the first I have been involved in!
Our message for variational algorithms: keep depth linear or lower in number of qubits for hope of avoiding barren plateaus. Go deeper, and they're inevitable (asymptotically)

Completed @LosAlamosNatLab at the Quantum Computing Summer School, where I’ve been very fortunate to be (virtually) the past two months.
Others have tweeted about the results, so let me just take the time to thank the organizers of the summer school and everyone else I met along the way: @ColesQuantum @Lcincio and @CJCoffrin, thank you!
It's been a fast-paced mix of great talks and exciting research projects. Definitely recommend other students to apply in coming years
I’ve been having a lot of fun working with @EnricoFontana19 , @MvsCerezo, @SoneAkira, @kunal_phy and others - so many generous and talented people
