Mapping out phase diagrams with generative classifiers

Published 26 Jun 2023 in quant-ph, cond-mat.dis-nn, and physics.comp-ph | (2306.14894v2)

Abstract: One of the central tasks in many-body physics is the determination of phase diagrams. However, mapping out a phase diagram generally requires a great deal of human intuition and understanding. To automate this process, one can frame it as a classification task. Typically, classification problems are tackled using discriminative classifiers that explicitly model the probability of the labels for a given sample. Here we show that phase-classification problems are naturally suitable to be solved using generative classifiers based on probabilistic models of the measurement statistics underlying the physical system. Such a generative approach benefits from modeling concepts native to the realm of statistical and quantum physics, as well as recent advances in machine learning. This leads to a powerful framework for the autonomous determination of phase diagrams with little to no human supervision that we showcase in applications to classical equilibrium systems and quantum ground states.
