- We study multi-qubit variational quantum states that can be considered as vertex- and edge-weighted graph. These states are constructed as single-layer variational circuits with $RX$ rotations and $RZZ$ entangling gates, corresponding to graphs of arbitrary structure. In general case of quantum graph states of arbitrary structure we derive the geometric measure of entanglement and evaluate quantum correlators. It is shown that these quantities are related to the edge-weight structure around the corresponding vertices in the graph (i.e., edge weights incident to the vertices and vertex weights associated with their closed neighborhoods). In the special case of quantum states representing unweighted graphs, these quantities are related to the degrees of the corresponding vertices in the graph. As an example, we analyze the state associated with the star graph $K_{1,4}$ using noisy quantum computing on the AerSimulator. The results are in good agreement with theoretical predictions. These findings demonstrate a connection between graph structure and quantum properties, enabling the study of properties of classical graphs via quantum computing.
