             Abstract                 so-called variational quantum method (e.g., Peruzzo et al.
   Quantum Neural Networks (QNNs), or the so-          (2014)), are the major candidates of applications that can be
   called variational quantum circuits, are important      implemented on NISQ machines.
   quantum applications both because of their similar      Typical QNNs replace cla ...
