• Abstract summary: We show that the unsupervised manifold learning can successfully retrieve topological quantum phase transitions in momentum and real space. We demonstrate this method on the prototypical Su-Schefferri-Heeger (SSH) model, the Qi-Wu-Zhang (QWZ) model, and the quenched SSH model in momentum space.

• Abstract: The discovery of topological features of quantum states plays an important role in modern condensed matter physics and various artificial systems. Due to the absence of local order parameters, the detection of topological quantum phase transitions remains a challenge. Machine learning may provide effective methods for identifying topological features. In this work, we show that the unsupervised manifold learning can successfully retrieve topological quantum phase transitions in momentum and real space. Our results show that the Chebyshev distance between two data points sharpens the characteristic features of topological quantum phase transitions in momentum space, while the widely used Euclidean distance is in general suboptimal. Then a diffusion map or isometric map can be applied to implement the dimensionality reduction, and to learn about topological quantum phase transitions in an unsupervised manner. We demonstrate this method on the prototypical Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model, the Qi-Wu-Zhang (QWZ) model, and the quenched SSH model in momentum space, and further provide implications and demonstrations for learning in real space, where the topological invariants could be unknown or hard to compute. The interpretable good performance of our approach shows the capability of manifold learning, when equipped with a suitable distance metric, in exploring topological quantum phase transitions.

  We explore the applicability of quantum-data learning to practical problems in high-energy physics.

The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.

  We propose a physical witness for dynamically detecting topological phase transitions (TPTs) via an experimentally observable out-of-time-order correlation (OTOC) The distinguishable OTOC dynamics appears in the topological trivial and non-trivial phases due to the topological locality. Our work fundamentally brings the OTOC in the realm of TPTs, and offers the prospect of exploring new topological physics with quantum correlations.

This method works for measurements of local observables in a single basis and is thus readily applicable to many experimental quantum simulators.
