Description
Summary:Lately, there has been an extensive state-of-the-art research in Machine Learning methods, due to their important features such as universality in approximations and dimensional reduction. In this way, the present work aims at exploiting these properties of Machine Learning on physical many-body problems, in which a restricted Boltzmann Machine (RBM) is trained with quantum Monte Carlo data to best represent the ground state of an N spin system under the transverse field Ising model Hamiltonian in one dimension. During the path coursed along the development of this project, we first review classical well-implemented methods such as the single-layer perceptron, multi-layer perceptron for the XOR problem with back-propagation algorithm, discrete Hopfield network for pattern reconstruction, continuous Hopfield network with Simulated Annealing for solving the traveling salesman problem with 10 cities and the Boltzmann machine for feature extraction. Then, we review a few aspects of what is called a Quantum Boltzmann Machine and the basics of the transverse field Ising model. Finally, we train an RBM consisting of N visible neurons, hidden density neurons alpha=M/N=2 and 1-step contrastive divergence (CD_1), by minimizing the Kullbach-Liebler divergence of the RBM and the training data set coming from the algorithmic variant of quantum Monte Carlo, known as discrete Path-Integral Monte Carlo. For this last step, we use Trotter-Suzuki decomposition with m Trotter slices and the Wolff-s cluster algorithm. After training the RBM, we calculate magnetic observables based on the RBM-s wave-function such as longitudinal and transverse magnetization, for different values of transverse field and we do an estimation of the critical field at which the transverse Ising model system suffers a quantum phase transition from ferromagnet to paramagnet
