• Abstract: We investigate variational learning of quantum many-body ground states directly in measurement space using autoregressive neural networks. In particular, we represent quantum states via probability distributions of outcomes over a symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measure (SIC-POVM). The probability distribution is encoded in the parameters of an autoregressive neural-network-based on gated recurrent units (GRUs). Ground states are obtained by gradient descent that updates the probability distribution to minimize the energy with respect to a given Hamiltonian, while enforcing positivity constraints that ensure that the distribution of measurement outcomes correspond to a physical quantum state. We analyze the role of constraint enforcement (hierarchy of positivity conditions), variety of neural network architectures (multiple layers, dilation, and modifications of input data) in determining the success of this approach. We benchmark our approach on one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model and the Heisenberg model, along with gapping fields, for system sizes up to L=128, illustrating its efficacy across a wide variety of models.
