• Abstract: We design a neural network Ansatz for variationally finding the ground-state wave function of the Homogeneous Electron Gas, a fundamental model in the physics of extended systems of interacting fermions. We study the spin-polarised and paramagnetic phases with 7, 14 and 19 electrons over a broad range of densities from $r_s=1$ to $r_s=100$, obtaining similar or higher accuracy compared to a state-of-the-art iterative backflow baseline even in the challenging regime of very strong correlation. Our work extends previous applications of neural network Ans\"{a}tze to molecular systems with methods for handling periodic boundary conditions, and makes two notable changes to improve performance: splitting the pairwise streams by spin alignment and generating backflow coordinates for the orbitals from the network. We illustrate the advantage of our high quality wave functions in computing the reduced single particle density matrix. This contribution establishes neural network models as flexible and high precision Ans\"{a}tze for periodic electronic systems, an important step towards applications to crystalline solids.

  Neural wave functions accomplished unprecedented accuracies in approximating the ground state of many-electron systems, though at a high computational cost. Recent works proposed amortizing the cost by learning generalized wave functions across different structures and compounds instead of solving each problem independently. This work tackles the problem by defining overparametrized, fully learnable neural wave functions suitable for generalization across molecules.
