Global Coupled Adaptive Number of Shots
gCANS
archive 2025-07-28 Description, source and code snippet are the archive's method entry.
gCANS, or Global Coupled Adaptive Number of Shots, is a variational quantum algorithm for stochastic gradient descent. It adaptively allocates shots for the measurement of each gradient component at each iteration. The optimizer uses a criterion for allocating shots that incorporates information about the overall scale of the shot cost for the iteration.

Usage over time archive 2025-07-28
Components: the archive holds no method-to-method composition, so PwC's Components table cannot be rebuilt; the Papers list carries no Results column for the same reason (the archive does not join its leaderboard rows to method tags).
