• Authors: Bennet Windt, Alexander Jahn, Jens Eisert, Lucas Hackl
• Abstract summary: We exploit insights into the geometry of bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states to develop an efficient local optimization algorithm. The method is based on notions of descent gradient attuned to the local geometry. We use the presented methods to collect numerical and analytical evidence for the conjecture that Gaussian purifications are sufficient to compute the entanglement of purification of arbitrary mixed Gaussian states.

• Abstract: We exploit insights into the geometry of bosonic and fermionic Gaussian states to develop an efficient local optimization algorithm to extremize arbitrary functions on these families of states. The method is based on notions of gradient descent attuned to the local geometry which also allows for the implementation of local constraints. The natural group action of the symplectic and orthogonal group enables us to compute the geometric gradient efficiently. While our parametrization of states is based on covariance matrices and linear complex structures, we provide compact formulas to easily convert from and to other parametrization of Gaussian states, such as wave functions for pure Gaussian states, quasiprobability distributions and Bogoliubov transformations. We review applications ranging from approximating ground states to computing circuit complexity and the entanglement of purification that have both been employed in the context of holography. Finally, we use the presented methods to collect numerical and analytical evidence for the conjecture that Gaussian purifications are sufficient to compute the entanglement of purification of arbitrary mixed Gaussian states.

  We argue that this problem is analogous to that of simulating Clifford circuits with non-stabilizer initial states. Our construction is based on an extension of the covariance matrix formalism which permits to efficiently track relative phases in superpositions of Gaussian states. It yields simulation algorithms with complexity in the number of fermions, the desired accuracy, and certain quantities capturing the degree of non-Gaussianity of the initial state.

  We propose a principled way to define Gaussian process priors on various sets of unweighted graphs. We go further to consider sets of equivalence classes of unweighted graphs and define the appropriate versions of priors thereon. Inspired by applications in chemistry, we illustrate the proposed techniques on a real molecular property prediction task in the small data regime.

• Pathwise Conditioning of Gaussian Processes [72.61885354624604]
  Conventional approaches for simulating Gaussian process posteriors view samples as draws from marginal distributions of process values at finite sets of input locations. This distribution-centric characterization leads to generative strategies that scale cubically in the size of the desired random vector. We show how this pathwise interpretation of conditioning gives rise to a general family of approximations that lend themselves to efficiently sampling Gaussian process posteriors.
