Dependency considerations

libE

Library for managing ensemble-like collections of computations (includes APOSMM discussed in the paper). It installs automatically from https://github.com/rsln-s/libensemble_var. It requires MPI (brew install open-mpi on MacOS).

IBMQX backend

Backend to run code in Qiskit Aer simulator (includes a QAOA implementation) and it is automatically from git@github.com:rsln-s/ibmqxbackend.git@v1.0-multistart.
