• Abstract: Non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems exhibit a rich array of physical phenomena, including non-Hermitian skin effects and exceptional points, that remain largely inaccessible to existing numerical techniques. In this work, we investigate the application of variational Monte Carlo and neural network wavefunction representations to examine their ground-state (the eigenstate with the smallest real part energy) properties. Due to the breakdown of the Rayleigh-Ritz variational principle in non-Hermitian settings, we develop a self-consistent symmetric optimization framework based on variance minimization with a dynamically updated energy estimate. Our approach respects the biorthogonal structure of left and right eigenstates, and is further strengthened by exploiting system symmetries and pseudo-Hermiticity. Tested on a two-dimensional non-Hermitian transverse field Ising model endowed with a complex longitudinal field, our method achieves high accuracy across both parity-time symmetric and broken phases. Moreover, we propose novel optimization routines that address the challenges posed by exceptional points and provide reliable convergence to the ground state in regimes where standard variational techniques fail. Lastly, we show, through extensive numerical evidence, that our method offers a scalable and flexible computational tool to investigate non-Hermitian quantum many-body systems, beyond the reach of conventional numerical techniques such as the density-matrix renormalization group algorithm.

  We leverage the interplay between gapped phases and dualities of symmetric one-dimensional quantum lattice models. For every phase in the phase diagram, the dual representation of the ground state that breaks all symmetries minimises both the entanglement entropy and the required number of variational parameters. Our work testifies to the usefulness of generalised non-invertible symmetries and their formal category theoretic description for the nuts and bolts simulation of strongly correlated systems.

• Scalable Imaginary Time Evolution with Neural Network Quantum States [0.0]
  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.

  Non- sampling is a key challenge in machine learning, central to non-rate optimization in deep learning as well as to approximate its significance. Existing guarantees typically only hold for the averaged distances rather than the more desirable last-rate iterates. We develop a new framework that lifts the above issues by harnessing several tools from the theory systems.
