Principle of learning sign rules by neural networks in qubit lattice models

Abstract

A neural network is a powerful tool that can uncover hidden laws beyond human intuition. However, it often appears as a black box due to its complicated nonlinear structures. By drawing upon the Gutzwiller mean-field theory, we can showcase a principle of sign rules for ordered states in qubit lattice models. We introduce a shallow feed-forward neural network with a single hidden neuron to present these sign rules. We conduct systematical benchmarks in various models, including the generalized Ising, spin-$1/2$ XY, (frustrated) Heisenberg rings, triangular XY antiferromagnet on a torus, and the Fermi-Hubbard ring at an arbitrary filling. These benchmarks show that all the leading-order sign rule characteristics can be visualized in classical forms, such as pitch angles. Besides, quantum fluctuations can result in an imperfect accuracy rate quantitatively.
