Learning topological defects formation with neural networks in a quantum phase transition

Neural networks possess formidable representational power,rendering them invaluable in solving complex quantum many-body systems.While they excel at analyzing static solutions,nonequilibrium processes,including critical dynamics during a quantum phase transition,pose a greater challenge for neural networks.To address this,we utilize neural networks and machine learning algorithms to investigate time evolutions,universal statistics,and correlations of topological defects in a one-dimensional transverse-field quantum Ising model.Specifically,our analysis involves computing the energy of the system during a quantum phase transition following a linear quench of the transverse magnetic field strength.The excitation energies satisfy a power-law relation to the quench rate,indicating a proportional relationship between the excitation energy and the kink numbers.Moreover,we establish a universal power-law relationship between the first three cumulants of the kink numbers and the quench rate,indicating a binomial distribution of the kinks.Finally,the normalized kink-kink correlations are also investigated and it is found that the numerical values are consistent with the analytic formula.

Neural-Network Quantum State of Transverse-Field Ising Model

Along the way initiated by Carleo and Troyer [G. Carleo and M. Troyer, Science 355(2017) 602], we construct the neural-network quantum state of transverse-field Ising model(TFIM) by an unsupervised machine learning method. Such a wave function is a map from the spin-configuration space to the complex number field determined by an array of network parameters. To get the ground state of the system, values of the network parameters are calculated by a Stochastic Reconfiguration(SR) method. We provide for this SR method an understanding from action principle and information geometry aspects. With this quantum state, we calculate key observables of the system, the energy,correlation function, correlation length, magnetic moment, and susceptibility. As innovations, we provide a high e?ciency method and use it to calculate entanglement entropy(EE) of the system and get results consistent with previous work very well.
