I’m happy to announce that we will share two contributions at the conference ICASSP 2026. The first contribution is a natural extension and enhancement of the Hybrid quantum-classical approach for anomaly detection in one-dimensional time series discussed here. The second contribution, instead, is focused on the QAOA and proposes a new variant of this quantum optimization algorithm where the standard QAOA ansatz is enhanced via a blockwise optimization strategy of its parameters and with the addition of a multi-parameterized layer before the measurements. Further details about this second contribution will be given in a subsequent announcement (I still have to update the blog!). If you are in Barcelona in the period 4-8 may we have our presentations already scheduled (see here and here), feel free to say hi! Read more
