  This short tutorial provides an introduction to the Quantum Approximation
Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). Specifically, how to use QAOA with the
Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation (SPSA) algorithm to solve
the Max-Cut problem. All steps of the algorithm are explicitly shown and no
theory or complex mathematics are used. The focus is entirely on setting up a
practical implementation. Fully functional examples in both R and python (using
Qiskit) are provided, both using roughly 100 lines of code.
