How Many Shots Does Your Variational Loop Buy That It Does Not Need?
The Accelerated Variational Quantum Eigensolver asks the quantum computer a question after every circuit mapping, and the classical side has to infer an answer from noisy measurements. Doing that inference on distributions rather than approximating it converges in 44% fewer shots. Enter your run count and what your provider bills you.
Variational Runs Per Month
200
How many times you drive the eigensolver to convergence in a month, across all molecules or Hamiltonians.
Target Precision, Negative Exponent
4
The exponent of your target precision, so 4 means 10 to the minus 4. The published figure was measured at that setting, and the shot requirement grows steeply as you tighten it.
Price Per Shot
What your provider bills for one measurement. There is deliberately no default. Rates differ by more than an order of magnitude across providers and are usually negotiated, so a figure we chose would decide the whole result. Take it from your own invoice.
Price Per Circuit Mapping
Some providers bill a per-task fee on top of per-shot. Leave it blank if yours does not, and the page will price shots only.
Where the Classical Step Runs Today
The published comparison is against the first, implemented by hand on an Intel Xeon. It is not a naive baseline: rejection filtering is chosen precisely because it is cheap enough to run beside a quantum device.
Engineer-Days to Maintain It
What you spend keeping the classical inference step working. No default. The brief reports 14 lines of code against 63, and only you can say what that is worth in your own team.
