qubithubgraph-coloring

Solves Graph 2-Coloring using the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA). Assigns one of two colors to each vertex to minimize edge conflicts (adjacent vertices sharing a color). Default: 4-vertex graph with triangle subgraph (chromatic number 3, minimum 1 conflict). Identical circuit structure to MaxCut — coloring minimizes conflicts while MaxCut maximizes cuts.
