For 'simple' problems sampling α=2 seems good, but for harder ones you benefit from an over dispersed distribution.

Worry not! This is FREE and you can even autotune α so VMC is not harder.

We wondered "Are we sampling right?" And the answer seems "probably no". When doing #VMC on hard #quantum problems, |ψ(x)|² is optimal to get good "Energy estimates" but you need precise gradients to converge!

Turns out, you converge better by looking at |ψ(x)|ᵅ .

We also add all the states we obtained through our simulations, and you can compute quantities on them yourself. Just `nqxpack.load("data/states/t=XYZ.nk` and compare to our data!

The training scripts to train a 6x6 or 10x10 ViT or ConvNet are included, as well as an usable, well documented code.

Do you want to simulate large spin systems with NQS? Yourself? Automatically?

We have just released the accompanying code for the Systematic study of projected neural dynamics, together with Luca Gravina and Vincenzo Savona!

Check it out! github.com/NeuralQXLab/...
