A Boson-informed neural network for Ground States of Many-Body Schrödinger equations

Abstract

We propose a symmetry-preserving Boson-informed neural network (BINN) for the variational Monte Carlo computation of interacting-boson ground states in continuous space. The framework explicitly separates the two dominant physical scales of the system. At the microscopic interaction scale, a cell Jastrow factor absorbs the leading near-contact stiffness, while at the macroscopic scale, a potential-aware envelope encodes the external confinement, leaving the neural network to capture a smoother many-body residual. Across both two- and three-dimensional tests, the BINN approaches the Hartree and Gross-Pitaevskii limits with an empirical $\mathcal{O}(N^{-1})$ finite-size trend in both energy and density. The energies agree with diffusion Monte Carlo to within $0.06\%$ for the particle number tested up to $350$ in the three-dimensional shrinking-range case. Applications are made under various trapping scenarios, justifying robust performance of BINN.

Advanced computational methods for simulating the classical hydrogen atom in stochastic electrodynamics

Stochastic electrodynamics (SED) is a theory of nature seeking to derive key aspects of quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics from a purely classical physics perspective. While SED has been successful in many areas, it has had mixed success when addressing the classical hydrogen atom bathed in classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation. Because analytical approaches are largely intractable, advanced numerical simulation methods are required. To address this, we develop a pseudo-wave formulation that integrates the solid angle in k-space utilizing symmetry, resulting in a significantly reduced memory footprint and lower computational overhead for generating the zero-point radiation spectrum. This optimization is paired with a logarithmic frequency grid, a sliding window tracking the instantaneous Keplerian frequency, and a Tukey smoothing function to eliminate discrete force discontinuities. Integrated via an adaptive RK4 algorithm with step-doubling across highly dense grids of up to 100-million bins, these techniques demonstrate the asymptotic convergence of ensemble stability. We show that increasing grid resolution in the high-frequency domain systematically mitigates artificial electron decay, yielding a simulated probability density function that closely aligns with the quantum mechanical ground state P(r). Crucially, the simulations exhibit stable, low-eccentricity orbits without any observed atomic ionization events.

Quantum simulation of dissipative acoustic and elastic waves by Schrödingerisation: absorbing boundaries and explicit polynomial-size circuits

Explicit quantum circuits for the acoustic and elastic wave equations, obtained by Hamiltonian simulation of their first-order forms, conserve energy and therefore describe closed domains: an outgoing wave reflects off the edge of the computational region or, with periodic boundaries, wraps around and re-enters from the opposite side. We open the domain with the simplest physical absorber, a graded sponge layer in which every wave field is damped at a rate that grows towards the outer edge, and implement the resulting dissipative dynamics on a quantum simulator by Schrödingerisation, which turns a non-unitary linear evolution into a family of unitary ones by means of a single auxiliary variable. We derive the whole chain from the partial differential equation to the circuit, in one, two and three dimensions. An independent finite-difference solver confirms that damping all wave fields absorbs far better than the common velocity-only damping mask. For the sponge the quantum analysis is sharp: recovery is exact on the whole non- negative half of the auxiliary axis at every time; that axis can be truncated periodically at a length set by the largest damping rate and the simulated time; and the success probability is a fixed constant, about 0.4, times the fraction of the energy not yet absorbed, with only one or two auxiliary qubits measured. On the circuit side, the damping step, which generic synthesis compiles into a number of controlled-NOT gates exponential in the number of qubits, factorises exactly into polynomially many multi-controlled phase gates. Gate-level simulations on up to 25 qubits agree with the classical solutions of the damped wave equations.

Maximal correlation and optimal transformations of probability distributions in tensor-train format: a variational algorithm

The correlation between two subsystems $A$ and $B$ of a many-body system is usually measured through a pair of observables chosen in advance. The Hirschfeld-Gebelein-Rényi maximal correlation removes the choice: it is the largest correlation coefficient between any function of the configuration of $A$ and any function of the configuration of $B$, and the two functions that reach it, the optimal transformations, are the observables that carry the correlation. Both follow from a singular value decomposition (SVD) of the joint distribution normalized by its marginals, a matrix whose dimension is the number of configurations. We show that this SVD can be computed variationally for a classical distribution of discrete variables, such as the Boltzmann distribution of a spin model, given in the tensor-train (matrix-product) format, without ever forming the matrix. The optimal transformations are sought as tensor trains; each step updates a single core in closed form, and the inverse of a small matrix contracted from the distribution and the remaining cores performs the division by the marginals core by core. Every iterate is a feasible pair, so the objective is a lower bound on the maximal correlation that increases monotonically, and the cost grows linearly with the number of variables. The algorithm reproduces the exact SVD on small systems, recovers the known nonlinear optimal transformations of synthetic distributions of up to ten angular variables ($10^{15}$ configurations), and, for the bipartite antiferromagnetic model with $2^{32}$ configurations, returns an optimal transformation that is a function of the group magnetization, linear above the transition and sign-like below it: the staggered order parameter is read off from the distribution instead of being postulated.
