• Abstract: As quantum computing progresses, variational quantum eigensolvers (VQE) for ground-state preparation have become an attractive option in leveraging current quantum hardware. However, a major challenge in implementing VQE is understanding whether a given quantum system can even reach the target ground state. In this work, we study reachability conditions for VQE by analyzing their inherent symmetries. We consider a Rydberg-atom quantum simulator with global controls and evaluate its ability to reach ground states for Ising and Heisenberg target Hamiltonians. Symmetry-based conclusions for a smaller number of qubits are corroborated by VQE simulations, demonstrating the reliability of our approach in predicting whether a given quantum architecture could successfully reach the ground state. Our framework also suggests approaches to overcome symmetry restrictions by adding additional quantum resources or choosing different initial states, offering practical guidance for implementing VQE in quantum simulation architectures. Finally, we illustrate connections to adiabatic state preparation.

  Near-term quantum state preparation is typically realized by means of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) algorithm. We present a refined VQE scheme that consists in topping VQE with state-informed updates of the elementary fermionic modes. For a fixed circuit structure, the method is shown to enhance the capabilities of the circuit to reach a state close to the target state without incurring too much overhead from shot noise.
