• Abstract: The expressibility of an ansatz used in a variational quantum algorithm is defined as the uniformity with which it can explore the space of unitary matrices. The expressibility of a particular ansatz has a well-defined upper bound. In this work, we show that the expressibiliity also has a well-defined lower bound in the hypothesis space. We provide an analytical expression for the lower bound of the covering number, which is directly related to expressibility. We also perform numerical simulations to to support our claim. To numerically calculate the bond length of a diatomic molecule, we take hydrogen ($H_2$) as a prototype system and calculate the error in the energy for the equilibrium energy point for different ansatzes. We study the variation of energy error with circuit depths and show that in each ansatz template, a plateau exists for a range of circuit depths, which we call the set of acceptable points, and the corresponding expressibility is known as the best expressive region. We report that the width of this best expressive region in the hypothesis space is inversely proportional to the average error. Our analysis reveals that alongside trainability, the lower bound of expressibility also plays a crucial role in selecting variational quantum ansatzes.

  We propose a novel variational ansatz for the ground-state preparation of the $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theory (LGT) in quantum simulators. It combines dissipative and unitary operations in a completely deterministic scheme with a circuit depth that does not scale with the size of the considered lattice. We find that, with very few variational parameters, the ansatz can achieve $>!99%$ precision in energy in both the confined and deconfined phase of the $mathbbZ$ LGT.
