abstract

We provide an efficient and general route for preparing non-trivial quantum states that are not adiabatically connected to unentangled product states. Our approach is a hybrid quantum-classical variational protocol that incorporates a feedback loop between a quantum simulator and a classical computer, and is experimentally realizable on near-term quantum devices of synthetic quantum systems. We find explicit protocols which prepare with perfect fidelities (i) the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, (ii) a quantum critical state, and (iii) a topologically ordered state, with $L$ variational parameters and physical runtimes $T$ that scale linearly with the system size $L$. We furthermore conjecture and support numerically that our protocol can prepare, with perfect fidelity and similar operational costs, the ground state of every point in the one dimensional transverse field Ising model phase diagram. Besides being practically useful, our results also illustrate the utility of such variational ans\"atze as good descriptions of non-trivial states of matter.

  1. Projector Quantum Variational Ansatz

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The Projector Variational Ansatz (PVA) is a new VQE ansatz that can match ISQ-QSP or ADAPT-VQE structures and converges with shallower circuits than standard ADAPT-VQE in experiments.

  2. Continuous-variable ADAPT-VQE for bosonic lattice models

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    CV-ADAPT-VQE with tailored symmetry-preserving pools achieves significantly shallower circuits than Hamiltonian-based VQE for bosonic lattice models in GPU classical simulations.

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Numerical study of five symmetry-preserving HVAs for Z2 gauge theory finds overparametrization eliminates local minima and loss decay rate scales linearly with number of parameters.
