Variational Quantum Operator Simulation (VQOS) for Shallow Circuit Time-Evolution

VQOS achieves up to 3 orders of magnitude accuracy improvement over Trotterization at equal circuit depth, or equivalent accuracy at 1/5 the depth, enabling near-term quantum phase estimation without oracle access or barren plateau issues.
