Expected Minimum Clique Coverage?
The question you ask is an interesting one, and the general answer I don't know. But I find numerics to be a useful generator of conjectures. I wrote a little python code using pennylane for this, the ...

Expectation value of Pauli string for VQE
I think we could get the estimate of $\langle \psi | P | \psi \rangle $ using your method in the following way.
Let's assume that we know the eigenvalue decomposition (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Expectation value of pauli strings for VQE
In addition to the issue mentioned by @KAJ226 in his answer, this line of code is wrong
sign = (state.count('1') % 2) * (-1)
because ...

Expectation value of pauli strings for VQE
To measure $\langle XY \rangle$ you need to apply $H$ gate to the first qubit since $HZH = X$, and $S^\dagger$ follow by $H$ to the second qubit since $(SH)Z(HS^\dagger) = Y $.
Now, Qiskit uses ...

Convexity of cost function in quantum machine learning
You are of course exactly right that for generic parametrized unitaries $U(\theta)$ a typical cost function will be non-convex. In fact, the problem is so bad that the presence of local minimums makes ...

Qiskit: QAOAnsatz circuit with custom Hamiltonian
Assume that $U$ is given as a quantum circuit:
U = QuantumCircuit(num_qubits)
Then to get the state vector $\left| b \right>$ we can use ...

Why does VQE with pennylane and scikit-optimize gp_minimize give 'func must be scalar' error?
np.asscalar as stated by Catalina solves the described problem.
Further problems (e.g. error message ...

Why does VQE with pennylane and scikit-optimize gp_minimize give 'func must be scalar' error?
I was able to reproduce your error. I made several tests on your code and I found that the wrapped_cost function is returning a tensor, not a scalar. However if you try to use something like np....
