Quantum phase detection generalisation from marginal quantum neural network models

Abstract

Quantum machine learning offers a promising advantage in extracting information about quantum states, e.g. phase diagram. However, access to training labels is a major bottleneck for any supervised approach, preventing getting insights about new physics. In this Letter, using quantum convolutional neural networks, we overcome this limit by determining the phase diagram of a model where analytical solutions are lacking, by training only on marginal points of the phase diagram, where integrable models are represented. More specifically, we consider the axial next-nearest-neighbor Ising (ANNNI) Hamiltonian, which possesses a ferromagnetic, paramagnetic and antiphase, showing that the whole phase diagram can be reproduced.
