Provable Quantum-Classical Separation for Continuous Gibbs Sampling
Enrico Olivucci, Mariia Sobchuk, Sehmimul Hoque +4
We prove the first quantum-classical separation for a sampling problem over a continuous domain. For a class of Gibbs states on the torus with smo…
Minimal-Dissipation Learning for Energy-Based Models
Jeff Hnybida, Simon Verret
We show that the bias of the approximate maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE) objective of a persistent chain energy-based model (EBM) is precisely equal to the thermodynamic excess…
Spin Foams Without Spins
Jeff Hnybida
We formulate the spin foam representation of discrete SU(2) gauge theory as a product of vertex amplitudes each of which is the spin network generating function of the boundary gra…
Pachner moves in a 4d Riemannian holomorphic Spin Foam model
Andrzej Banburski, Lin-Qing Chen, Laurent Freidel +1
In this work we study a Spin Foam model for 4d Riemannian gravity, and propose a new way of imposing the simplicity constraints that uses the recently developed holomorphic represe…
Generating Functionals for Spin Foam Amplitudes
Jeff Hnybida
We construct a generating functional for the exact evalutation of a coherent representation of spin network amplitudes. This generating functional is defined for arbitrary graphs a…
Ising Model from Intertwiners
Bianca Dittrich, Jeff Hnybida
Spin networks appear in a number of areas, for instance in lattice gauge theories and in quantum gravity. They describe the contraction of intertwiners according to the underlying…
