Variational quantum eigensolvers (VQEs) are successful algorithms for studying physical systems on
quantum computers. Recently, they were extended to the measurement-based model of quantum
computing, bringing resource graph states and their advantages into the realm of quantum simulation.
In this Letter, we incorporate such ideas into traditional VQE circuits. This enables novel probleminformed designs and versatile implementations of many-body Hamiltonians. We showcase our approach
on real superconducting quantum computers by performing VQE simulations of testbed systems including
the perturbed planar code, Z2 lattice gauge theory, 1D quantum chromodynamics, and the LiH molecule.
