CMT Seminar - Xiaopeng Li (Fudan University) "Machine learning approaches to entangled quantum states"

Xiaopeng Li - CMT Seminar

Artificial neural networks play a prominent role in the rapidly growing field of machine learning and are recently introduced to quantum many-body systems. This talk will focus on using a machine-learning model, the restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) to describe entangled quantum states. Both short- and long-range coupled RBM will be discussed. For a short-range RBM, the associated quantum state satisfies an entanglement area law, regardless of spatial dimensions. I will present our recently constructed exact RBM models for nontrivial topological phases, including a 1d cluster state and a 2d toric code. For a long-range RBM, the captured entanglement entropy scales linearly with the number of variational parameters in the RBM model, in sharp contrast to the log-scaling in matrix product state representation.
