Do encoding schemes for variational algorithms apply to annealing methods (e.g. DWave)?
I understand there are some efficient encoding schemes for variational algorithms, that attempt to approximate the variational state using fewer qubits. I'm thinking of 2 papers in particular, which ...

Why is quantum annealing not used in optimization for variational quantum algorithms?
I have been learning about variational quantum algorithms and encountered that none of the articles talk about using quantum annealers for optimization of the parameters ?
I have however encountered ...

How to convert a qubit hamiltonian to QUBO and vice versa?
This is my hamiltonian. Solving this by hand, Numpy Python package and VQE algorithm gives the minimum energy eigenvalue -2. If we want to find the minimum energy of this hamiltonian with Quantum ...
