  • In the pursuit of numerically identifying the ground state of quantum many-body systems, approximate quantum wavefunction ansatzes are commonly employed. This study focuses on the spectral decomposition of these approximate quantum many-body states into exact eigenstates of the target Hamiltonian. The energy spectral decomposition could reflect the intricate physics at the interplay between quantum systems and numerical algorithms. Here we examine various parameterized wavefunction ansatzes constructed from neural networks, tensor networks, and quantum circuits, employing differentiable programming to numerically approximate ground states and imaginary-time evolved states. Our findings reveal a consistent exponential decay pattern in the spectral contributions of approximate quantum states across different ansatzes, optimization objectives, and quantum systems, characterized by small decay rates denoted as inverse effective temperatures. The effective temperature is related to ansatz expressiveness and accuracy and shows phase transition behaviors in learning imaginary-time evolved states. The universal picture and unique features suggest the significance and potential of the effective temperature in characterizing approximate quantum states.
