• Abstract: We generalize the hidden-fermion family of neural network quantum states to encompass both continuous and discrete degrees of freedom and solve the nuclear many-body Schr\"odinger equation in a systematically improvable fashion. We demonstrate that adding hidden nucleons to the original Hilbert space considerably augments the expressivity of the neural-network architecture compared to the Slater-Jastrow ansatz. The benefits of explicitly encoding in the wave function point symmetries such as parity and time-reversal are also discussed. Leveraging on improved optimization methods and sampling techniques, the hidden-nucleon ansatz achieves an accuracy comparable to the numerically-exact hyperspherical harmonic method in light nuclei and to the auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo in $^{16}$O. Thanks to its polynomial scaling with the number of nucleons, this method opens the way to highly-accurate quantum Monte Carlo studies of medium-mass nuclei.

  We study the connections between the trainability and expressibility of quantum tangent kernel models. For global loss functions, we rigorously prove that high expressibility of both the global and local quantum encodings can lead to exponential concentration of quantum tangent kernel values to zero.
