[from qiskit] Add Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy (CMA-ES) optimizer for VQAs
What should we add?
Qiskit terra interface for CMA-ES which is a stochastic derivative-free numerical optimization algorithm, observed in arXiv:2111.13454 to be on par with and sometimes outperforming SPSA with appropriate hyperparameter tuning [^1].
[^1]: I would be more than happy to work on this.
