Parallel Scan Recurrent Neural Quantum States for Scalable Variational Monte Carlo

Neural-network quantum states have emerged as a powerful variational framework for quantum many-body systems, with recent progress often driven by massively parallel architectures such as transformers. Recurrent neural network quantum states, however, are frequently regarded as intrinsically sequential and therefore less scalable. Here we revisit this view by showing that modern recurrent architectures can support fast, accurate, and computationally accessible neural quantum state simulations. Using autoregressive recurrent wave functions together with recent advances in parallelizable recurrence, we develop variational ansätze, called parallel scan recurrent neural quantum states (PSR-NQS), which can be trained efficiently within variational Monte Carlo in one and two spatial dimensions. We demonstrate accurate benchmark results and show that, with iterative retraining, our approach reaches two-dimensional spin lattices as large as $52\times52$ while remaining in agreement with available quantum Monte Carlo data. Our results establish recurrent architectures as a practical and promising route toward scalable neural quantum state simulations with modest computational resources.

Ground state phase diagram of the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model from restricted Boltzmann machines

Motivated by recent advances in the representation of ground state wavefunctions of quantum many-body systems using restricted Boltzmann machines as variational ansatz, we utilize an open-source platform for constructing such ansatz called NetKet to explore the extent of applicability of restricted Boltzmann machines to bosonic lattice models. Within NetKet, we design and train these machines for the one-dimensional Bose-Hubbard model through a Monte Carlo sampling of the Fock space. We vary parameters such as the strength of the onsite repulsion, the chemical potential, the system size and the maximum site occupancy and use converged equations of state to identify phase boundaries between the Mott insulating and superfluid phases. We compare the average density and the energy to results from exact diagonalization and map out the ground state phase diagram, which agrees qualitatively with previous finding obtained through conventional means.

Transport and Optical Conductivity in the Hubbard Model: A High-Temperature Expansion Perspective

We derive analytical expressions for the spectral moments of the dynamical response functions of the Hubbard model using the high-temperature series expansion. We consider generic dimension $d$ as well as the infinite-$d$ limit, arbitrary electron density $n$, and both finite and infinite repulsion $U$. We use moment-reconstruction methods to obtain the one-electron spectral function, the self-energy, and the optical conductivity. They are all smooth functions at high-temperature and, at large-$U$, they are featureless with characteristic widths of order the lattice hopping parameter $t$. In the infinite-$d$ limit we compare the series expansion results with accurate numerical renormalization group and interaction expansion quantum Monte-Carlo results. We find excellent agreement down to surprisingly low temperatures, throughout most of the bad-metal regime which applies for $T \gtrsim (1-n)D$, the Brinkman-Rice scale. The resistivity increases linearly in $T$ at high-temperature without saturation. This results from the $1/T$ behaviour of the compressibility or kinetic energy, which play the role of the effective carrier number. In contrast, the scattering time (or diffusion constant) saturate at high-$T$. We find that $σ(n,T) \approx (1-n)σ(n=0,T)$ to a very good approximation for all $n$, with $σ(n=0,T)\propto t/T$ at high temperatures. The saturation at small $n$ occurs due to a compensation between the density-dependence of the effective number of carriers and that of the scattering time. The $T$-dependence of the resistivity displays a knee-like feature which signals a cross-over to the intermediate-temperature regime where the diffusion constant (or scattering time) start increasing with decreasing $T$. At high-temperatures, the thermopower obeys the Heikes formula, while the Wiedemann-Franz law is violated with the Lorenz number vanishing as $1/T^2$.

Electronic spectral properties of the two-dimensional infinite-U Hubbard model

A strong-coupling series expansion for the Green's function and the extremely-correlated Fermi liquid (ECFL) theory are used to calculate the moments of the electronic spectral functions of the infinite-U Hubbard model. Results from these two complementary methods agree very well at both, low densities, where the ECFL solution is the most accurate, and at high to intermediate temperatures, where the series converge. We find that a modified first moment, which underestimates the contributions from the occupied states and is accessible in the series through the time-dependent Green's function, best describes the quasiparticle peak location in the strongly-correlated regime. This is examined by the ECFL results at low temperatures, where it is shown that the spectral function is largely skewed towards the occupied states.
