Abstract
The quantum many-body problems are important for condensed matter physics, however solving the problems are challenging because the Hilbert space grows exponentially with the size of the problem. The recently developed deep learning methods provide a promising new route to solve long-standing quantum many-body problems. We report that a deep learning based simulation can achieve solutions with competitive precision for the spin J 1 – J 2 model and fermionic t-J model, on rectangular lattices within periodic boundary conditions. The optimizations of the deep neural networks are performed on the heterogeneous platforms, such as the new generation Sunway supercomputer and the multi graphical-processing-unit clusters. Both high scalability and high performance are achieved within an AI-HPC hybrid framework. The accomplishment of this work opens the door to simulate spin and fermionic lattice models with state-of-the-art lattice size and precision.
