Specialized minimizers for variational circuits #235

Open DiegoGM91 opened 4 years ago

DiegoGM91 commented 4 years ago

As discussed today, it may be a good idea to incorporate some specialized/customized minimizers for variational circuits.

Here I leave some references where they are introduced or benchmarked.
