Two-dimensional Hyperbolic RNN Neural Quantum State

Authors: H. L. Dao

Abstract

In the first part of this work, we construct the first type of two-dimensional (2D) hyperbolic neural quantum state (NQS) in the form of the Lorentz 2DRNN (Recurrent Neural Network) and benchmark its performance against the Euclidean 2DRNN in the paradigmatic N×NN\times N 2D Transverse Field Ising Model (2DTFIM) setting with different lattice sizes up to N=12N=12 and at different transverse magnetic field strengths. We find that hyperbolic Lorentz 2DRNN NQS definitively outperform Euclidean 2DRNN NQS when the system is at the phase transition point when the physics can be described by a conformal field theory (CFT), which is known to be dual to an Anti-de-Sitter (AdS) space whose spatial geometry is hyperbolic. In the second part of this work, we benchmark the performances of the recently introduced one-dimensional (1D) hyperbolic NQS including Poincaré RNN/GRU and Lorentz RNN/GRU against their Euclidean NQS versions in N×NN\times N 2DTFIM, which has to be converted to a one-dimensional setting to allow for the use of 1D NQS. The findings in this case extend our previous results that 1D hyperbolic NQS definitively outperform 1D Euclidean NQS, thanks to the combined effects of the hierarchical structure comprising the first and NthN^{th} neighbor interactions present in the 1D system arising from the 2D lattice and the CFT physics at the critical point. While more studies with larger system sizes are required, our work serves as a proof-of-concept for the utility, effectiveness as well as the superior performances of one- and two-dimensional hyperbolic NQS ansatzes compared to the existing Euclidean NQS in many-body quantum physics systems, especially when these systems exhibit structural hierarchy or when they are at criticality, or a combination of both.

New non-Euclidean neural quantum states from additional types of hyperbolic recurrent neural networks

In this work, we extend the class of previously introduced non-Euclidean neural quantum states (NQS) which consists only of Poincare hyperbolic GRU, to new variants including Poincare RNN as well as Lorentz RNN and Lorentz GRU. In addition to constructing the new non-Euclidean hyperbolic NQS ansatzes, we generalize the results of our earlier work regarding the definitive outperformances delivered by hyperbolic Poincare GRU NQS when benchmarked against their Euclidean counterparts in the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) experiments involving the Heisenberg J1J2J_1J_2 and J1J2J3J_1J_2J_3 models. Here, using larger systems consisting of 100 spins, we find that all four hyperbolic RNN/GRU NQS variants always outperform their respective Euclidean counterpart with the same architecture. In our experiments, among the four hyperbolic NQS, Lorentz RNN stands out in particular because despite having almost three times fewer parameters, it is capable of surpassing the more complex Poincare GRU and Lorentz GRU to emerge as the best overall hyperbolic NQS ansatz on many instances involving different J2J_2 and (J2,J3J_2, J_3) couplings. Given the findings from this work showing that the four newly constructed hyperbolic RNN/GRU NQS ansatzes are able to outperform the well-established Euclidean RNN/GRU NQS in Heisenberg spin models, we establish the utility and efficiency of the hyperbolic Poincare RNN/GRU and Lorentz RNN/GRU NQS for future variational studies of quantum many-body systems, especially those exhibiting a hierarchical structure in the form of the different degrees of nearest-neighbor interactions.

Hyperbolic Restricted Boltzmann Machine Neural Quantum State

We construct the first type of non-Euclidean non-autoregressive neural quantum state (NQS) in the form of the hyperbolic Restricted Boltzmann Machine (HRBM), which is studied in the variational Monte-Carlo (VMC) setting of the Quantum Sherrington-Kirkpatrick (QSK) model whose ground state exhibits volume-law entanglement. Across a 512-fold increase in the Hilbert space dimension corresponding to a system size increase from N=14N=14 to N=24N=24, HRBM NQS robustly outperforms its Euclidean version, the RBM NQS, in terms of better ground state energy optimization as well as lower Renyi-2 S2S_2 and von Neumann SvNS_{vN} absolute entanglement entropy reconstruction errors. More importantly, for all QSK system sizes, HRBM NQS demonstrates a superior expressivity in faithfully reproducing the entire entanglement spectrum of the QSK model from the top eigenvalues down to the tail end across 15 orders of magnitude, while RBM NQS consistently overestimates the sub-dominant modes. This work furnishes a proof-of-concept demonstrating that hyperbolic non-autoregressive NQS ansatzë, thanks to the exponential volume of the hyperbolic geometry underlying their constructions, might be more natural at representing volume-law quantum systems than conventional Euclidean NQS. Furthermore, an interesting byproduct of this work is the polynomial scaling result of RBM-type NQS ansatzë in the QSK volume-law system as the Hilbert space increases exponentially.

Parallel Scan Recurrent Neural Quantum States for Scalable Variational Monte Carlo

Neural-network quantum states have emerged as a powerful variational framework for quantum many-body systems, with recent progress often driven by massively parallel architectures such as transformers. Recurrent neural network quantum states, however, are frequently regarded as intrinsically sequential and therefore less scalable. Here we revisit this view by showing that modern recurrent architectures can support fast, accurate, and computationally accessible neural quantum state simulations. Using autoregressive recurrent wave functions together with recent advances in parallelizable recurrence, we develop variational ansätze, called parallel scan recurrent neural quantum states (PSR-NQS), which can be trained efficiently within variational Monte Carlo in one and two spatial dimensions. We demonstrate accurate benchmark results and show that, with iterative retraining, our approach reaches two-dimensional spin lattices as large as 52×5252\times52 while remaining in agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo data. Our results establish recurrent architectures as a practical and promising route toward scalable neural quantum state simulations with modest computational resources.
