Neural networks provide expressive representations for scientific computing. However, even sufficiently expressive networks can suffer training failure in weak-gradient regimes, limiting their practical use in quantum many-body physics and ab initio quantum chemistry. Here we derive an unbiased direct gradient estimator and introduce the adaptive minimum-variance phase (AMVP) estimator for neural-network variational optimization.
Abstract We use stochastic expansion and exact diagonalization to study magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) on a disordered substrate. We show that the substrate-induced strong Coulomb disorder in TBG with the chemical potential at the level of the flat bands drives the system to a network of weakly coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) bundles, stabilizing an emergent quantum chaotic strange metal (SM) phase of TBG that exhibits the absence of quasiparticles.
