Glossary

An Ansatz is a chosen form or structure of a quantum state (often parameterized) used as a starting point for algorithms like the Variational Quantum Eigensolver. It defines how qubits are entangled and rotated, and its parameters are optimized to approximate the solution to a problem. The quality of the Ansatz directly affects the accuracy and efficiency of the computation.

Quantum Machine Learning is the field of research that combines principles from quantum computing with traditional machine learning to solve complex problems more efficiently than classical approaches.
