• Abstract: We present a modular algorithm for learning external potentials in continuous-space free-fermion models including Coulomb potentials in any dimension. Compared to the lattice-based approaches, the continuum presents new mathematical challenges: the state space is infinite-dimensional and the Hamiltonian contains the Laplacian, which is unbounded in the continuum and thus produces an unbounded speed of information propagation. Our framework addresses these difficulties through novel optimization methods or information-propagation bounds in combination with a priori regularity assumptions on the external potential. The resulting algorithm provides a unified and robust approach that covers both Coulomb interactions and other classes of physically relevant potentials. One possible application is the characterization of charge and position of nuclei and ions in quantum chemistry. Our results thus lay the foundation for a scalable and generalizable toolkit to explore fermionic systems governed by continuous-space interactions.

We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.
