• Abstract: Virtually all aspects of many-body atomic physics are challenging: experiments are technically demanding, datasets have become enormous, and the memory and CPU requirements for classical simulation of generic quantum systems often scale exponentially with system size. Machine learning (ML) methods are already assisting in each of these areas and are poised to become transformative. Here, we focus on two specific applications of ML to cold-atom-based quantum simulators. These devices generally generate data in the form of images; we first showcase denoising of raw images and then identify solitonic waves in Bose-Einstein condensates. In both of these examples, we comment on the interplay between performance, model complexity, and interpretability.

  We show that classical data with a quickly decaying Fourier spectrum can be well-approximated by states with a small Schmidt rank. These approximated states can, in turn, be prepared on a quantum computer with a linear number of nearest-neighbor two-qubit gates. We also consider different variational circuit ans"atze and demonstrate numerically that one-dimensional sequential circuits achieve the same compression quality as more powerful ans"atze.

  Quantum many-body problems are central to demystifying some exotic quantum phenomena, e.g., high-temperature superconductors. The combination of neural networks (NN) for representing quantum states, and the Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) algorithm, has been shown to be a promising method for solving such problems. We propose a NN architecture called Vector-Quantized Neural Quantum States (VQ-NQS) that utilizes vector-quantization techniques to leverage redundancies in the local-energy calculations of the VMC algorithm.
