+# Variational Bethe Ansatz
+
+## Description
+
+This project's idea is to try to explore the following questions:
+
+- how closely can a given quantum state be approximated by a Bethe state (on- or off-shell)?
+- can one implement a variational protocol in the basis of Bethe states in order to approximate the ground state of non-integrable Hamiltonians?
