The AQC ansatz has significantly fewer layers

Same comment as above on the term "layers"

Perhaps worth noting that the starting fidelity is already quite high, and it's because this is a small example.

It's surprising that the large-scale hardware result is so much better than the small-scale simulator results, as judged by the error. It probably deserves some explanation.

  • In the small-scale simulator example, we computed the reference energy exactly. Would we have gotten the same value if we used the AQC reference circuit with 32 Trotter steps to compute the expectation value? If so, then perhaps we should just do that, to keep both the simulator and hardware sections consistent.
  • If the values differ, this indicates that 32 Trotter steps is not enough, and we should increase it until the values match and then some more.
