• Abstract summary: Variational Monte Carlo with neural network quantum states has proven to be a promising avenue for evaluating the ground state energy of spin Hamiltonians. We present a detailed and systematic study of restricted Boltzmann machine based variational Monte Carlo for quantum spin chains. We find that an accurate neural network representation of ground states in non-stoquastic phases is hindered not only by the sign structure but also by their amplitudes.

• Abstract: Variational Monte Carlo with neural network quantum states has proven to be a promising avenue for evaluating the ground state energy of spin Hamiltonians. However, despite continuous efforts the performance of the method on frustrated Hamiltonians remains significantly worse than those on stoquastic Hamiltonians that are sign-free. We present a detailed and systematic study of restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) based variational Monte Carlo for quantum spin chains, resolving how relevant stoquasticity is in this setting. We show that in most cases, when the Hamiltonian is phase connected with a stoquastic point, the complex RBM state can faithfully represent the ground state, and local quantities can be evaluated efficiently by sampling. On the other hand, we identify several new phases that are challenging for the RBM Ansatz, including non-topological robust non-stoquastic phases as well as stoquastic phases where sampling is nevertheless inefficient. Furthermore, we find that an accurate neural network representation of ground states in non-stoquastic phases is hindered not only by the sign structure but also by their amplitudes.

  A candidate application for quantum computers is to simulate the low-temperature properties of quantum systems. This paper shows that, for most random Hamiltonians, the maximally mixed state is a sufficiently good trial state. Phase estimation efficiently prepares states with energy arbitrarily close to the ground energy.

The dilation method is used to transform a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian into a Hermitian one through an exquisite quantum circuit. As a demonstration, we apply our protocol to simulate the dynamics of an Ising chain with nonlocal non-Hermitian perturbations.
