Quantifying the Efficiency of State Preparation via Quantum Variational Eigensolvers

Recently, there has been much interest in the efficient preparation of complex quantum states using low-depth quantum circuits, such as the quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA). While it has been numerically shown that such algorithms prepare certain correlated states of quantum spins w...
