Printed on acid-free paper This Springer imprint is published by Springer Nature The registered company is Springer International Publishing AG The registered company address is: Gewerbestrasse 11, 6330 Cham, Switzerland This volume is an expression of gratitude to one of our professional colleagues and friends with whom we have had the pleasure to meet and work. It is dedicated to Dr. Jacek M. Zurada, one of the most prominent scientists and technical leaders in the field of computational intelligence, who has made many pioneering contributions to the field, notably to the theory and applications of neural networks. But, in addition to his widely recognized and cited works, he has equally distinguished himself through his career by his exceptional leadership and service to the profession and community. His illustrious academic and professional career spans over three stages: the early doctoral years in Poland and postdoctoral training at ETH Zürich in Switzerland (1972–1980), his academic work in the USA (1980–present), and his intermittent visiting professorship positions, first during his sabbatical at Princeton University and then during his summer stays in Singapore and Japan. It can be easily argued that the impact of Dr. Zurada’s technical, professional, and educational accomplishments has been extraordinary in each of these aspects alone, but only their sum, broadened by his generous personality, has made a truly unique and influential career. His work has heavily influenced the field, and it continues to inspire and benefit numerous researchers as it will for sure do for decades to come. For over 25 years, he has been one of the most recognizable scientists and personalities of the field of computational intelligence, notably in neural networks. This recognition is to be credited to his seminal works that continue to have lasting societal and technical impact. He has contributed to the fundamental understanding of the field through publishing many papers on significant theoretical advances and applications of tools and techniques developed in the field, to a large extent by himself and his collaborators, and through authoring a groundbreaking book that has been widely considered as a pioneering and standard reference of the field. His contributions have resulted in about 10500 citations. One of his most widely recognized singular contributions is to the area of recurrent attractor networks that use complex-valued neurons (1996) which established a new and seminal paradigm of the Hopfield-type associative memories. Further, he has developed one of the most successful and widely applied methods to deal with the “black box nature” of neural networks through their sensitivity evaluations. This novel idea has allowed for an efficient and systematic reduction of oversized architectures, pruning of inputs and other simplifications. Based on this seminal concept of the perceptron networks sensitivity, other algorithms have been developed for network pruning, derivation of logic rules and explanation capabilities. Well over two dozen authors had continued extending the early concepts proposed by Dr. Zurada. One of the most attractive applications of neural networks has been in the field of computer-assisted medicine. Here, Dr. Zurada’s work in drug dosing with computational methods has opened new avenues and lines of inquiry for numerous researchers all over the world. Working with his colleagues in the University of Louisville’s School of Medicine and his Ph.D. students, he has devised new pharmacokinetical models for renal clinic patients and for different drugs. These pioneering works have resulted in numerous articles in many highly respected journals and opened new vistas for both the theory and practice. Last but not least, Dr. Zurada’s signature contribution is his famous book “Introduction to Artificial Neural Systems” which is widely recognized as the first comprehensive and cohesive academic text of the field. It has ingeniously combined the scope and depth of coverage with the clarity of exposition. It has also been reprinted in Singapore, Poland, Egypt, and most recently in India, the latter of which underscores this pioneering work’s outstanding longevity. This book has successfully bridged the gaps between the early multifaceted research by scientists from various fields including psychology, physics, information theory, computer science, electrical engineering, and others. In fact, this contribution of Dr. Zurada has laid the foundation for numerous neurocomputing courses in electrical/computer and other engineering and computer science departments throughout the world. Dr. Zurada’s academic teaching emphasizes in-depth, project-based learning that helps electrical/computer engineers to stay technically current as the technology evolves during their careers. He has also served the industry as a consultant and lecturer. He has advised 21 Ph.D. and many more M.Sc. students many of whom now hold leadership positions in industrial R&D centers, academia, and governmental agencies in the USA, Korea, and Poland. He has also delivered 170 invited, plenary, and keynote conference presentations and seminars throughout the world. He has served as IEEE Distinguished Speaker for the IEEE Systems, Man and Cybernetics Society, and served as a Distinguished Lecturer the IEEE Circuits and Systems and Computational Intelligence Societies. It is also the editors’ pleasure to cite Dr. Zurada’s distinguished career of service to the profession, mostly to the IEEE all the editors are strongly attached to. Since 1992, he has served in many editorial roles. He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, Parts I and II, and a Member of the Editorial Board of the Proceedings of the IEEE and Senior Advisory Editor of IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine. He also served as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks (1998–2003). He has served as a chair or member of about 140 conference committees. He has made

Ignacio Cirac Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung:3. Mai 2019 Abstract Strongly correlated systems exhibit phenomena { such as high-TC superconductivity or the fractional quantum Hall effect { that are not explicable by classical and semi-classical methods. Moreover, due to the exponential scaling of the associated Hilbert space, solving the proposed model Hamiltonians by brute-force numerical methods is bound to fail. Thus, it is important to develop novel numerical and analytical methods that can explain the physics in this regime. Tensor Network states are quantum many-body states that help to overcome some of these difficulties by defining a family of states that depend only on a small number of parameters. Their use is twofold: they are used as variational ansatzes in numerical algorithms as well as providing a framework to represent a large class of exactly solvable models that are believed to represent all possible phases of matter. The present thesis investigates mathematical properties of these states thus deepening the understanding of how and why Tensor Networks are suitable for the description of quantum many-body systems. It is believed that tensor networks can represent ground states of local Hamiltonians, but how good is this representation? This question is of fundamental importance as variational algorithms based on tensor networks can only perform well if any ground state can be approximated efficiently in such a way.

Ignacio Cirac Max-Planck-Institut für Quantenoptik, Hans-Kopfermann-Straße 1, 85748 Garching, Germany (Received 3 August 2018; revised manuscript received 12 February 2019; published 28 May 2019) We introduce a new class of states for bosonic quantum fields which extend tensor network states to the continuum and generalize continuous matrix product states to spatial dimensions d ≥ 2.By construction, they are Euclidean invariant and are genuine continuum limits of discrete tensor network states. Admitting both a functional integral and an operator representation, they share the important properties of their discrete counterparts: expressiveness, invariance under gauge transformations, simple rescaling flow, and compact expressions for the N-point functions of local observables. While we discuss mostly the continuous tensor network states extending projected entangled-pair states, we propose a generalization bearing similarities with the continuum multiscale entanglement renormal- ization ansatz.

  • Simulating Quantum Computation by Contracting Tensor Networks Abstract
    Simulating quantum computation by contracting tensor networks Igor Markov1 and Yaoyun Shi2 Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science The University of Michigan 2260 Hayward Street Ann Arbor, MI 48109-2121, USA E-mail: imarkov shiyy @eecs.umich.edu f j g Abstract The treewidth of a graph is a useful combinatorial measure of how close the graph is to a tree. We prove that a quantum circuit with T gates whose underlying graph has treewidth d can be simulated deterministically in T O(1) exp[O(d)] time, which, in particular, is polynomial in T if d = O(logT). Among many implications, we show efficient simulations for quantum formulas, defined and studied by Yao (Proceedings of the 34th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 352–361, 1993), and for log-depth circuits whose gates apply to nearby qubits only, a natural constraint satisfied by most physical implementations. We also show that one-way quantum computation of Raussendorf and Briegel (Physical Review Letters, 86:5188– 5191, 2001), a universal quantum computation scheme with promising physical implementations, can be efficiently simulated by a randomized algorithm if its quantum resource is derived from a small-treewidth graph.

  • Learning Phase Transition in Ising Model with Tensor-Network Born Machines
    Learning Phase Transition in Ising Model with Tensor-Network Born Machines Ahmadreza Azizi Khadijeh Najafi Department of Physics Department of Physics Virginia Tech Harvard & Caltech Blacksburg, VA Cambridge, MA [email protected] [email protected] Masoud Mohseni Google Ai Venice, CA [email protected] Abstract Learning underlying patterns in unlabeled data with generative models is a chal- lenging task. Inspired by the probabilistic nature of quantum physics, recently, a new generative model known as Born Machine has emerged that represents a joint probability distribution of a given data based on Born probabilities of quantum state. Leveraging on the expressibilty and training power of the tensor networks (TN), we study the capability of Born Machine in learning the patterns in the two- dimensional classical Ising configurations that are obtained from Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulations. The structure of our model is based on Projected Entan- gled Pair State (PEPS) as a two dimensional tensor network. Our results indicate that the Born Machine based on PEPS is capable of learning both magnetization and energy quantities through the phase transitions from disordered into ordered phase in 2D classical Ising model. We also compare learnability of PEPS with another popular tensor network structure Matrix Product State (MPS) and indicate that PEPS model on the 2D Ising configurations significantly outperforms the MPS model. Furthermore, we discuss that PEPS results slightly deviate from the Monte Carlo simulations in the vicinity of the critical point which is due to the emergence of long-range ordering. 1 Introduction In the past years generative models have shown a remarkable progress in learning the probability distribution of the input data and generating new samples accordingly.

This approach lead to a unifi- cation of several ideas, as well as several results and methods that have not previously appeared in either side of the literature. Our approach enabled the development of a tensor network framework allowing a solution to the quantum decomposition prob- lem which has several appealing features. Specifically, given an n-body quantum state |ψi, we present a new and general method to factor |ψi into a tensor network of clearly defined building blocks. We use the solution to expose a previously un- known and large class of quantum states which we prove can be sampled efficiently and exactly. This general framework of categorical tensor network states, where a combination of generic and algebraically defined tensors appear, enhances the theory of tensor network states.

  • Quantum Quench Dynamics and Entanglement
    © 2018 by Tianci Zhou. All rights reserved. QUANTUM QUENCH DYNAMICS AND ENTANGLEMENT BY TIANCI ZHOU DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Physics in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Assistant Professor Thomas Faulkner, Chair Professor Michael Stone, Director of Research Professor Peter Abbamonte Assistant Professor Lucas Wagner Abstract Quantum quench is a non-equilibrium process where the Hamiltonian is suddenly changed during the quan- tum evolution. The change can be made by spatially local perturbations (local quench) or globally switch- ing to a completely different Hamiltonian (global quench). This thesis investigates the post-quench non- equilibrium dynamics with an emphasis on the time dependence of the quantum entanglement. We inspect the scaling of entanglement entropy (EE) to learn how correlation and entanglement built up in a quench. We begin with two local quench examples. In Chap.2, we apply a local operator to the groundstate of the quantum Lifshitz model and monitor the change of the EE. We find that the entanglement grows according to the dynamical exponent z = 2 and then saturates to the scaling dimension of the perturbing operator { a value representing its strength. In Chap.3, we study the evolution after connecting two different one-dimensional critical chains at their ends. The Loschmidt echo which measures the similarity between the evolved state and the initial one decays with a power law, whose exponent is the scaling dimension of the defect (junction). Among other conclusions, we see that the local quench dynamics contain universal information of the (critical) theory.
