For the task of preparing an $n$-qubit $d$-sparse quantum state, we obtain the following results: \textbf{Without ancillary qubits:} Any $n$-qubit $d$-sparse quantum state can be prepared by a quantum circuit of size $O(\frac{nd}{\log n} + n)$ without using ancillary qubits, which improves the previous best results. It is asymptotically optimal when $d = \mathrm{poly}(n)$, and this optimality holds for a broader scope under some reasonable assumptions. \textbf{With limited ancillary qubits:} (i) Based on the first result, we prove for the first time a trade-off between the number of ancillary qubits and the circuit size: any $n$-qubit $d$-sparse quantum state can be prepared by a quantum circuit of size $O(\frac{nd}{\log (n + m)} + n)$ using $m$ ancillary qubits for any $m \in O(\frac{nd}{\log nd} + n)$.

Quantum state preparation is a fundamental and significant subroutine in quantum computing.
