    """The Adaptive Variational Quantum Eigensolver algorithm.

    `AdaptVQE <https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.11173>`__ is a quantum algorithm which creates a compact
    ansatz from a set of evolution operators. It iteratively extends the ansatz circuit, by
    selecting the building block that leads to the largest gradient from a set of candidates. In
    chemistry, this is usually a list of orbital excitations. Thus, a common choice of ansatz to be
    used with this algorithm is the Unitary Coupled Cluster ansatz implemented in Qiskit Nature.
    This results in a wavefunction ansatz which is uniquely adapted to the operator whose minimum
    eigenvalue is being determined. This class relies on a supplied instance of :class:`~.VQE` to
    find the minimum eigenvalue. The performance of AdaptVQE significantly depends on the
    minimization routine.

            :class:`~qiskit.circuit.library.EvolvedOperatorAnsatz`.
        gradient_threshold: once all gradients have an absolute value smaller than this threshold,
            the algorithm has converged and terminates.
        eigenvalue_threshold: once the eigenvalue has changed by less than this threshold from one
            iteration to the next, the algorithm has converged and terminates. When this case
            occurs, the excitation included in the final iteration did not result in a significant
            improvement of the eigenvalue and, thus, the results from this iteration are not
            considered.
        max_iterations: the maximum number of iterations for the adaptive loop. If ``None``, the
            algorithm is not bound in its number of iterations.
