Learners explore the general workflow of parameterised quantum circuits combined with classical optimisation loops, and understand how these algorithms are applied to solve optimisation and simulation problems on near-term quantum devices, commonly referred to as Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum (NISQ) devices. The skill also highlights the ma…
