Direct/adaptive-mixture phase-gradient learning for neural-network quantum states with complex phase structure

arXiv:2606. 13912v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural-network quantum states (NQS) are a leading variational tool for quantum many-body physics, yet their optimization is fragile whenever the ground state carries a non-trivial sign or complex phase structure, a situation generic to gauge fields, broken time-reversal symmetry, and fermionic statistics.

Stochastic Reconfiguration as Statistical Filtering for Overparameterized Neural Quantum States

The paper investigates how stochastic reconfiguration (SR), the standard optimizer for neural quantum states (NQS), functions as a statistical filter in overparameterized regimes where parameters outnumber Monte Carlo samples. By interpreting SR as ridge regression on tangent features, the authors show that the diagonal shift balances useful update directions against variance from fitting finite-sample residuals, leading to a U-shaped validation risk curve. They introduce multi-shift SR (MS‑SR), which averages ridge solutions at data‑adaptive shifts, and demonstrate that it reduces validation risk and update variance compared to fixed‑shift SR in both small and large system experiments.
