  1. Abstract We consider quantum chaos diagnostics of the variational circuit states at random parameters and explore their connection to the circuit expressibility and optimizability. By measuring the operator spreading coefficient and the eigenvalue spectrum of the modular Hamiltonian of the reduced density matrix, we identify the emergence of universal random matrix ensembles in high-depth circuit states. The diagnostics that use the eigenvalue spectrum, e.g. operator spreading and entanglement entropy, turn out to be more accurate measures of the variational quantum algorithm optimization efficiency than those that use the level spacing distribution of the entanglement spectrum, such as r -statistics or spectral form factors.

  2. Abstract We consider information spreading measures in randomly initialized variational quantum circuits and introduce entanglement diagnostics for efficient variational quantum/classical computations. We establish a robust connection between entanglement measures and optimization accuracy by solving two eigensolver problems for Ising Hamiltonians with nearest-neighbor and long-range spin interactions. As the circuit depth affects the average entanglement of random circuit states, the entanglement diagnostics can identify a high-performing depth range for optimization tasks encoded in local Hamiltonians. We argue, based on an eigensolver problem for the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model, that entanglement alone is insufficient as a diagnostic to the approximation of volume-law entangled target states and that a large number of circuit parameters is needed for such an optimization task.
