Efficient Learning of Lattice Gauge Theories with Fermions
Shreya Shukla, Yukari Yamauchi, Andrey Y. Lokhov +2
We introduce a learning method for recovering action parameters in lattice field theories. Our method is based on the minimization of a convex loss function constructed using the S…
Quantum states from normalizing flows
Scott Lawrence, Arlee Shelby, Yukari Yamauchi
We introduce an architecture for neural quantum states for many-body quantum-mechanical systems, based on normalizing flows. The use of normalizing flows enables efficient uncorrel…
Contour deformations for non-holomorphic actions
Scott Lawrence, Semeon Valgushev, Jianan Xiao +1
We show how contour deformations may be used to control the sign problem of lattice Monte Carlo calculations with non-holomorphic actions. Such actions arise naturally in quantum m…
Mitigating a discrete sign problem with extreme learning machines
Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
An extreme learning machine is a neural network in which only the weights in the last layer are changed during training; for such networks training can be performed efficiently and…
Convex optimization and contour deformations
Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
We discuss various formal aspects of contour deformations used to alleviate sign problems; most importantly, relating these contour deformations to a certain convex optimization pr…
Normalizing Flows for Bayesian Posteriors: Reproducibility and Deployment
Yukari Yamauchi, Landon Buskirk, Pablo Giuliani +1
We present a computational framework for efficient learning, sampling, and distribution of general Bayesian posterior distributions. The framework leverages a machine learning appr…
Deep Learning of Fermion Sign Fluctuations
Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
We describe a procedure for alleviating the fermion sign problem in which phase fluctuations are explicitly subtracted from the Boltzmann factor. Several ansätze for fluctuations a…
Critical lensing and kurtosis near a critical point in the QCD phase diagram in and out-of-equilibrium
Travis Dore, Jamie M. Karthein, Isaac Long +5
In this work, we study the lensing effect of the QCD critical point on hydrodynamic trajectories, and its consequences on the net-proton kurtosis . Including critical behavior…
Lattice Scalar Field Theory At Complex Coupling
Scott Lawrence, Hyunwoo Oh, Yukari Yamauchi
Lattice scalar field theories encounter a sign problem when the coupling constant is complex. This is a close cousin of the real-time sign problems that afflict the lattice Schwing…
Quantum Simulation for High Energy Physics
Christian W. Bauer, Zohreh Davoudi, A. Baha Balantekin +28
It is for the first time that Quantum Simulation for High Energy Physics (HEP) is studied in the U.S. decadal particle-physics community planning, and in fact until recently, this…
Normalizing flows for the real-time sign problem
Yukari Yamauchi, Scott Lawrence
We discuss the application of normalizing flows to bosonic lattice field theories with real-time sign problems. A normalizing flow, once it is found for such a lattice field theory…
Quantum algorithms for transport coefficients in gauge theories
Thomas D. Cohen, Henry Lamm, Scott Lawrence +1
In the future, ab initio quantum simulations of heavy ion collisions may become possible with large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computers. We propose a quantum algorithm for study…
Normalizing Flows and the Real-Time Sign Problem
Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
Normalizing flows have recently been applied to the problem of accelerating Markov chains in lattice field theory. We propose a generalization of normalizing flows that allows them…
The thermodynamics of large-N QCD and the nature of metastable phases
Thomas D. Cohen, Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
In the limit of a large number of colors (N), both Yang-Mills and quantum chromodynamics are expected to have a first-order phase transition separating a confined hadronic phase an…
Suppressing Coherent Gauge Drift in Quantum Simulations
Henry Lamm, Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
Simulations of field theories on noisy quantum computers must contend with errors introduced by that noise. For gauge theories, a large class of errors violate gauge symmetry, and…
Parton Physics on a Quantum Computer
Henry Lamm, Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
Parton distribution functions and hadronic tensors may be computed on a universal quantum computer without many of the complexities that apply to Euclidean lattice calculations. We…
Yields of weakly-bound light nuclei as a probe of the statistical hadronization model
Yiming Cai, Thomas D. Cohen, Boris A. Gelman +1
The statistical hadronization model is a simple and efficient phenomenological framework in which the relative yields for very high energy heavy ion collisions are essentially dete…

Henry Lamm, Scott Lawrence, Yukari Yamauchi
A general scheme is presented for simulating gauge theories, with matter fields, on a digital quantum computer. A Trotterized time-evolution operator that respects gauge symmetry i…
