• Abstract summary: We investigate the utility of continuous-variable neural network quantum states (CV-NQS) for performing continuous optimization. Numerical experiments conducted using variational Monte Carlo with CV-NQS indicate that although the non-local algorithm succeeds in finding ground states competitive with the local gradient search methods, the proposal suffers from unfavorable scaling.

• Abstract: Inspired by proposals for continuous-variable quantum approximate optimization (CV-QAOA), we investigate the utility of continuous-variable neural network quantum states (CV-NQS) for performing continuous optimization, focusing on the ground state optimization of the classical antiferromagnetic rotor model. Numerical experiments conducted using variational Monte Carlo with CV-NQS indicate that although the non-local algorithm succeeds in finding ground states competitive with the local gradient search methods, the proposal suffers from unfavorable scaling. A number of proposed extensions are put forward which may help alleviate the scaling difficulty.

  The representation of a quantum wave function as a neural network quantum state (NQS) provides a powerful variational ansatz for finding the ground states of many-body quantum systems. We introduce an approach that bypasses the computation of the metric tensor and instead relies exclusively on first-order descent with Euclidean metric. We make this method adaptive and stable by determining the optimal time step and keeping the target fixed until the energy of the NQS decreases.

  Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) represent leading candidates to achieve computational speed-ups on current quantum devices. Two major hurdles are the proliferation of low-quality variational local minima, and the exponential vanishing of gradients in the cost function landscape. Here we show that by employing iterative search schemes one can effectively prepare the ground state of paradigmatic quantum many-body models.
