• Abstract: Physics-informed neural networks and neural quantum states have consolidated a new paradigm to analyze and discover physical phenomena through constrained neural parametrizations. In this context, we investigate whether the semiclassical structure of the eigenfunctions of a quantum chaotic system can be unveiled through unsupervised learning. To this end, we train a "quantum dictionary", formulated as an overcomplete autoencoder, that sparsely represents the eigenstates of the system, using as an illustration the quantum baker map. The only explicit physical information imposed on the dictionary atoms is their localization in phase space, without providing any kind of information about the periodic orbits of the corresponding classical system. The model achieves high fidelity in reconstructing eigenstates not used during training. By comparing the learned atoms with an independently constructed "semiclassical dictionary", we find that they spontaneously localize on the periodic orbits and develop scar-like structures. This result is interesting in two ways: a localization constraint is sufficient to recover nontrivial semiclassical organization from spectral data and at the same time periodic orbits confirm their fundamental role in the structure of quantum chaotic eigenfunctions. More generally, our proposed architecture opens a new route to learning representations whose atoms optimize other chosen physical properties.
