create_circuit(num_qubits: int, repetitions: int = 2, seed: int = 10) → QuantumCircuit[source]

Constructs a quantum circuit implementing QAOA for a Max-Cut example with random parameters.

Parameters:

  • num_qubits – Number of qubits in the circuit (equal to the number of graph nodes).

  • repetitions – Number of QAOA layers (repetitions of the ansatz).

  • seed – Seed for reproducibility.

Returns:

QuantumCircuit – Quantum circuit implementing QAOA.
