• Abstract: Neural networks are being used to improve the probing of the state spaces of many particle systems as approximations to wavefunctions and in order to avoid the recurring sign problem of quantum monte-carlo. One may ask whether the usual classical neural networks have some actual hidden quantum properties that make them such suitable tools for a highly coupled quantum problem. I discuss here what makes a system quantum and to what extent we can interpret a neural network as having quantum remnants.

  We show how information propagation in deep neural networks impacts the physical entanglement properties of deep neural quantum states. With this bridge we can identify optimal neural quantum state hyper parameter regimes for representing area as well as volume law entangled states. This advance of our understanding of network configurations for accurate quantum state representation helps to develop effective representations to deal with volume-law quantum states.

  We propose quantum graph convolutional networks (QuanGCN), which learns the local message passing among nodes with the sequence of crossing-gate quantum operations. To mitigate the inherent noises from modern quantum devices, we apply sparse constraint to sparsify the nodes' connections. Our QuanGCN is functionally comparable or even superior than the classical algorithms on several benchmark graph datasets.
