Variational quantum dynamics of two-dimensional rotor models

Abstract

We present a numerical method to simulate the dynamics of continuous-variable quantum many-body systems. Our approach is based on custom neural-network many-body quantum states. We focus on dynamics of two-dimensional quantum rotors and simulate large experimentally relevant system sizes by representing a trial state in a continuous basis and using state-of-the-art sampling approaches based on Hamiltonian Monte Carlo. We demonstrate the method can access quantities like the return probability and vorticity oscillations after a quantum quench in two-dimensional systems of up to 64 (8 $\times$ 8) coupled rotors. Our approach can be used for accurate nonequilibrium simulations of continuous systems at previously unexplored system sizes and evolution times, bridging the gap between simulation and experiment.
