VQE Lab Notebook
Document a small variational experiment with objective, ansatz, simulator output, and limitations.
Evaluation: rubric-based self-assessment and automatic workflow validation. No human review is provided.
Brief
Run or pseudo-run a two-qubit variational loop and explain each assumption clearly enough for peer review.
Prerequisites
