Self-learning projective quantum Monte Carlo simulations guided by restricted Boltzmann machines

Abstract

The projective quantum Monte Carlo (PQMC) algorithms are among the most powerful computational techniques to simulate the ground state properties of quantum many-body systems. However, they are efficient only if a sufficiently accurate trial wave function is used to guide the simulation. In the standard approach, this guiding wave function is obtained in a separate simulation that performs a variational minimization. Here we show how to perform PQMC simulations guided by an adaptive wave function based on a restricted Boltzmann machine. This adaptive wave function is optimized along the PQMC simulation via unsupervised machine learning, avoiding the need of a separate variational optimization. As a byproduct, this technique provides an accurate ansatz for the ground state wave function, which is obtained by minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence with respect to the PQMC samples, rather than by minimizing the energy expectation value as in standard variational optimizations. The high accuracy of this self-learning PQMC technique is demonstrated for a paradigmatic sign-problem-free model, namely, the ferromagnetic quantum Ising chain, showing very precise agreement with the predictions of the Jordan-Wigner theory and of loop quantum Monte Carlo simulations performed in the low-temperature limit.
