Neural Quantum States For The Many-Electron Problem — •Giuseppe Carleo — EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland

This presentation explores recent strides in using neural quantum states [1] to represent many-body fermionic quantum wave functions for the many-electron problem [2]. I will delve into a message-passing-neural-network-based Ansatz designed for simulating strongly interacting electrons in continuous space [3]. This approach achieves unprecedented accuracy in the electron gas problem, pushing the boundaries of system sizes previously inaccessible to neural network states. I will also discuss a Pfaffian-based neural-network quantum state for ultra-cold Fermi gases, outperforming traditional methods and enabling exploration of the BCS-BEC crossover region [4]. Finally, I will provide insight into ongoing work on the entanglement properties of Helium 4 and Helium 3, and discuss open problems in the field [5].
