//! QAOA warm-start from a continuous relaxation of the combinatorial problem.
//!
//! Reference: Egger, Mareček, Woerner 2021, "Warm-starting quantum
//! optimization". Instead of initializing QAOA on `|+⟩^n` (the uniform
//! superposition obtained by the standard `H^⊗n` Hadamard layer), one first
//! solves a continuous relaxation of the underlying combinatorial problem to
//! produce a vector `c ∈ [0,1]^n`. The relaxation values are then mapped to
//! per-qubit Ry-rotation angles via `θ_i = 2·arcsin(√c_i)` so that
//! `Ry(θ_i)|0⟩ = √(1−c_i)|0⟩ + √c_i|1⟩`. This biases the QAOA initial state
//! toward the relaxed classical solution and (with a suitably modified mixer
//! Hamiltonian) preserves optimality of the relaxed solution at `β=0`.
//!
//! ## Continuous MaxCut relaxation
//! Given a weighted undirected graph with edges `(i, j, w_ij)`, the QUBO
//! MaxCut objective `Σ w_ij · ½(1 − s_i s_j)` with `s ∈ {-1,+1}` relaxes to
//! `f(c) = Σ w_ij · (c_i + c_j − 2 c_i c_j)`, `c ∈ [0,1]^n`.
//! We maximise `f` by projected gradient ascent (clamp to `[0,1]` each step).
//! The gradient component is
//! `∂f/∂c_i = Σ_{j: (i,j)∈E} w_ij · (1 − 2 c_j)`.
//!
//! ## Initial-state parameters
//! After relaxation, [`QaoaWarmStart::arcsin_init`] maps each
//! `c_i ∈ [0,1]` to a single Ry-rotation angle `θ_i = 2·arcsin(√c_i)` so that
//! the per-qubit single-qubit unitary `Ry(θ_i)` applied to `|0⟩` produces the
//! computational-basis distribution `Pr(|1⟩) = c_i`. The full warm-start
//! parameter vector returned by [`QaoaWarmStart::warm_start_circuit_params`]
//! consists of the `n_qubits` initial-state preparation angles followed by
//! `2·depth` zero-initialized variational pairs `(γ_p, β_p)`.
