This talk will address one of the possible future practical applications of quantum computers - solving optimization problems. The most promising algorithm in this area appears to be the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA), which will be the main focus of this talk. The advantage of this hybrid variational algorithm is that it can be used on today's quantum computers of this NISQ era. The Qiskit toolkit will be employed to demonstrate the practical applications of this algorithm as well as for hands-on exercises.
