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 variant of the 'Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm' (QAOA) [E. Farhi et al., arXiv:1411.4028] and is experimentally realizable on near-term quantum simulators of synthetic quantum systems. As proof of concept, our approach yields explicit protocols which prepare (i) the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state, (ii) a quantum critical state, and (iii) a topologically ordered state, all with perfect fidelity and time that scales as O(L), where L is the linear dimension of the system. The protocol is additionally able to prepare the ground states of antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with very good fidelities. Besides being practically useful, our results also illustrate the utility of QAOA-type circuits as variational wavefunctions for non-trivial states of matter.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
