Gaussian Process States: A data-driven representation of quantum many-body physics
英文摘要：
We present a novel, non-parametric form for compactly representing entangled many-body quantum states, which we call a `Gaussian Process State'. In contrast to other approaches, we define this state explicitly in terms of a configurational data set, with the probability amplitudes statistically inferred from this data according to Bayesian statistics. In this way the non-local physical correlated features of the state can be analytically resummed, allowing for exponential complexity to underpin the ansatz, but efficiently represented in a small data set. The state is found to be highly compact, systematically improvable and efficient to sample, representing a large number of known variational states within its span. It is also proven to be a `universal approximator' for quantum states, able to capture any entangled many-body state with increasing data set size. We develop two numerical approaches which can learn this form directly: a fragmentation approach, and direct variational optimization, and apply these schemes to the Fermionic Hubbard model. We find competitive or superior descriptions of correlated quantum problems compared to existing state-of-the-art variational ansatzes, as well as other numerical methods.
