6/7 💪 Our work could bridge important gaps between classical and quantum computing, especially for near-term quantum devices.

7/7 📧 Interested in joining forces? DM for details!

5/7 🤝 Looking for collaborators! Particularly interested in:

- Quantum algorithm design
- SDP optimization
- Low-rank approximation theory
- Error propagation analysis

4/7 🔬 We're investigating how low-rank approximations of Hamiltonians affect both classical SDP solvers and quantum algorithms like QAOA. Early results are intriguing!

3/7 📊 Our preliminary results show promising hierarchical approximations for MaxCUT, with controllable trade-offs between accuracy and computational complexity.

2/7 💡 Key insight: What if we could trade-off computational resources for solution quality in MaxCUT? Ria Stevens, PhD student at Rice University, explores "anytime" algorithms that adapt to available resources.
