Optimization of an NQS ansatz requires sampling from the corresponding probability distribution defined by squared wave function amplitude. For this purpose we propose to use kinetic sampling protocols and demonstrate that in many important cases such methods lead to much smaller autocorrelation times than Metropolis-Hastings sampling algorithm while still allowing to easily implement lattice symmetries (unlike autoregressive models). We also use Uniform Manifold Approximation and Projection algorithm to construct two-dimensional isometric embedding of Markov chains and show that kinetic sampling helps attain a more homogeneous and ergodic coverage of the Hilbert space basis.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2011.02986v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.02986v2.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":"kinetic-samplers-for-neural-quantum-states","repo_url":"https://github.com/twesterhout/lattice-symmetries","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
