• Abstract: Neural Quantum States (NQS) provide a powerful neural network-based variational framework for representing many-body wave functions and solving for ground states. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are particularly promising owing to their relatively low computational cost and their autoregressive property, which enables perfect sampling. Recently, RNNs have been reported to be unstable under curvature-based optimizers such as the minimum-step stochastic reconfiguration (minSR) method. In this paper, we address this perceived limitation and show that minSR can be stabilized through simple regularization techniques, enabling robust training of RNN-based NQS with only a few samples. Our approach outperforms the Adam optimizer on the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model and the one-dimensional cluster state, and provides competitive results on the two-dimensional Heisenberg and $J_1-J_2$ models. This work offers a promising pathway for using modern optimization techniques with autoregressive NQS to address open questions in quantum simulation.
