Universal Effectiveness of High-Depth Circuits in Variational Eigenproblems

We explore the effectiveness of variational quantum circuits in simulating the ground states of quantum many-body Hamiltonians. We show that generic high-depth circuits, performing a sequence of layer unitaries of the same form, can accurately approximate the desired states. We demonstrate their universal success by using two Hamiltonian systems with very different properties: the transverse field Ising model and the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. The energy landscape of the high-depth circuits has a proper structure for the gradient-based optimization, i.e. the presence of local extrema -- near any random initial points -- reaching the ground level energy. We further test the circuit's capability of replicating random quantum states by minimizing the Euclidean distance.
