Noise-induced barren plateaus in variational quantum algorithms

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) are a leading candidate for useful applications of near-term quantum computing, but limitations due to unavoidable noise have not been clearly characterized. Here, the authors prove that local Pauli noise can cause vanishing gradients rendering VQAs untrainable.
