Fig. 17: R99 and TTS of a cubic schedule for 10 ≤ n ≤ 20, p ∈ {4, 10, 20, 50}, with hyperparameters a = 4.0 and L = 1.6 + 0.1n.
From: A benchmarking study of quantum algorithms for combinatorial optimization
The performance is better than that of the linear schedule for shallow circuits, but stops improving as the number of layers becomes larger.
