This approach is potentially suitable for existing Noisy Intermediate - Scale Quantum (NISQ) computers with limited numbers of qubits and shallow quantum circuits. We present some preliminary results obtained by quantum simulators and IBM quantum computers and discuss some challenges in scaling up such methods to realize quantum advantage, detection and characterization.
