Finding efficient compressions of the wavefunction is key to building scalable models. Here, we introduce iterative retraining, an approach for simulating bulk quantum systems that uses recurrent neural networks (RNNs). By mapping translations in the lattice vector to the time index of an RNN, we are able to efficiently capture the near translational invariance of large lattices. We show that we can use this symmetry mapping to simulate very large systems in one and two dimensions. We do so by 'growing' our model, iteratively retraining the same model on progressively larger lattices until edge effects become negligible. We argue that this scheme generalizes more naturally to higher dimensions than Density Matrix Renormalization Group.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.06228v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2003.06228v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"iterative-retraining-of-quantum-spin-models","repo_url":"https://github.com/chrisrothUT/Iterative-Retraining","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
