What are NISQ computers good for? Well, possibly many things. But definitely for the preparation of Gibbs states: arxiv.org/abs/2603.03801

Variational Gibbs State Preparation on Trapped-Ion Devices
We implement a variational quantum algorithm for Gibbs state preparation of a transverse-field Ising model on IonQ's quantum computers. To this end, we train the variational parameters via classical s...
