• Abstract summary: We develop deep generative machine learning models based on the Boltzmann Generator approach for entire phase diagrams. By training a single normalizing flow to transform the equilibrium distribution sampled at only one reference thermodynamic state to a wide range of target temperatures and pressures, we can efficiently generate equilibrium samples. We demonstrate our approach by predicting the solid-liquid coexistence line for a Lennard-Jones system in excellent agreement with state-of-the-art free energy methods.

• Abstract: The accurate prediction of phase diagrams is of central importance for both the fundamental understanding of materials as well as for technological applications in material sciences. However, the computational prediction of the relative stability between phases based on their free energy is a daunting task, as traditional free energy estimators require a large amount of simulation data to obtain uncorrelated equilibrium samples over a grid of thermodynamic states. In this work, we develop deep generative machine learning models based on the Boltzmann Generator approach for entire phase diagrams, employing normalizing flows conditioned on the thermodynamic states, e.g., temperature and pressure, that they map to. By training a single normalizing flow to transform the equilibrium distribution sampled at only one reference thermodynamic state to a wide range of target temperatures and pressures, we can efficiently generate equilibrium samples across the entire phase diagram. Using a permutation-equivariant architecture allows us, thereby, to treat solid and liquid phases on the same footing. We demonstrate our approach by predicting the solid-liquid coexistence line for a Lennard-Jones system in excellent agreement with state-of-the-art free energy methods while significantly reducing the number of energy evaluations needed.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  We study the transition of a cold atomic cloud, driven close to a sharp electronic resonance, from a stable to a turbulent phase.

Information compression, corresponding to a minimum in the Shannon entropy, has been observed at criticality.

  We show that when the random kinetic energy is smaller than the interaction energy, this system exhibits a much richer dynamical phase diagram. We develop a hydrodynamic theory of this phase and find a very good agreement with exact numerical simulations. We explore the full dynamical phase diagram of the system and find that the transition toward full thermalization is characterized by relatively sharp crossovers.

  We develop a new framework overcoming the limitations that the current dynamical and information theory approaches encounter when applied to this setting. We introduce the notion of continuous thermomajorization, and employ it to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Markovian thermal process transforming between given initial and final energy distributions of the system. We also present an algorithm constructing the full set of energy distributions achievable from a given initial state via Markovian thermal processes and provide a $textttMathematica$ implementation solving $d=6$ on a laptop computer in minutes.
