contents Matrix product states provide efficient classical descriptions of quantum systems that may be useful as reference states for quantum algorithms such as quantum phase estimation and quantum-selected configuration interaction. Shallow circuit constructions for loading matrix product states onto quantum computers is necessary for this to be practical on near-term hardware. We present a decomposition of matrix product states to log-depth quantum circuits via a simple tree tensor network renormalisation procedure. Our method exposes an explicit parameter which can be used to trade a small amount of fidelity for large savings in circuit depth. We extend this decomposition to the case of matrix product operators allowing us to construct log-depth and ancilla-free circuits to calculate overlaps of the form $\left |\langleϕ|U|ψ\rangle\right |^2$. In particular, we demonstrate an interpretation of these circuits as \emph{verifier circuits} with application to circuit-level device calibration.
