Estimating the overlap between an approximate wavefunction and a target eigenstate of the system Hamiltonian is essential for the efficiency of quantum phase estimation. In this work, we derive upper and lower bounds on this overlap using…

In this note, variational Monte Carlo method based on neural quantum states for spin systems is reviewed. Using a neural network as the wave function allows for a more generalized expression of various types of interactions, including…

Variational algorithms for strongly correlated chemical and materials systems are one of the most promising applications of near-term quantum computers. We present an extension to the variational quantum eigensolver that approximates the…

This topical review describes the methodology of continuum variational and diffusion quantum Monte Carlo calculations. These stochastic methods are based on many-body wave functions and are capable of achieving very high accuracy. The…

Compact and accurate wave functions can be constructed by quantum Monte Carlo methods. Typically, these wave functions consist of a sum of a small number of Slater determinants multiplied by a Jastrow factor. In this paper we study the…

The intensity of the overlap of a quantum state with all its phase space translations defines its quantum correlations. In the case of pure states, these are invariant with respect to Fourier transformation. The overlaps themselves are here…

Many strongly correlated states, such as those arising in the fractional quantum Hall effect and spin liquids, are described by wave functions obtained by dividing particles into multiple clusters, constructing a readily evaluable wave…

We present and motivate an efficient way to include orbital dependent many--body correlations in trial wave function of real--space Quantum Monte Carlo methods for use in electronic structure calculations. We apply our new…

We investigate the use of different variational principles in quantum Monte Carlo, namely energy and variance minimization, prompted by the interest in the robust and accurate estimate of electronic excited states. For two prototypical,…

We present here a new approach to determine an accurate variational wavefunction for general quantum antiferromagnets, completely defined by the requirement to reproduce the simple and well known spin-wave expansion. By this wavefunction,…

Overlap between two neural quantum states can be computed through Monte Carlo sampling by evaluating the unnormalized probability amplitudes on a subset of basis configurations. Due to the presence of probability amplitude ratios in the…

Variational (Rayleigh-Ritz) methods are applied to local quantum field theory. For scalar theories the wave functional is parametrized in the form of a superposition of Gaussians and the expectation value of the Hamiltonian is expressed in…

We present a method based on the Path Integral Monte Carlo formalism for the calculation of ground-state time correlation functions in quantum systems. The key point of the method is the consideration of time as a complex variable whose…

Finding a succinct representation to describe the ground state of a disordered interacting system could be very helpful in understanding the interplay between the interactions that is manifested in a quantum phase transition. In this work…

The construction of trial wave functions based on neural networks combined with the variational Monte Carlo method is discussed. The mathematical formulation for representing quantum states as artificial neural networks is introduced. The…

Variational quantum calculations have borrowed many tools and algorithms from the machine learning community in the recent years. Leveraging great expressive power and efficient gradient-based optimization, researchers have shown that trial…

Perhaps the quantum state represents information about reality, and not reality directly. Wave function collapse is then possibly no more mysterious than a Bayesian update of a probability distribution given new data. We consider models for…

We present a numerically efficient method for the characterisation of a quantum process subject to dissipation and noise. The master equation evolution of a maximally entangled state of the quantum system and a non-evolving ancilla system…

A quantum-mechanical wave function is complex, but all observations are real, expressible through expectation values and transition matrix elements that involve the wave functions. It can be useful to separate at the outset the amplitude…

Variational quantum Monte Carlo calculations are reported for the bulk GaAs semiconductor in order to present values for the ground-state energy, the lattice constant, the bulk modulus, and some derived properties. The statistical accuracy…
