Abstract

Recently, neural networks (NNs) have become a powerful tool for detecting quantum phases of matter. Unfortunately, NNs are black boxes and only identify phases without elucidating their properties. Novel physics benefits most from insights about phases, traditionally extracted in spin systems using spin correlators. Here, we combine two approaches and design TetrisCNN, a convolutional NN with parallel branches using different kernels that detects the phases of spin systems and expresses their essential descriptors, called order parameters, in a symbolic form based on spin correlators. We demonstrate this on the example of snapshots of the one-dimensional transverse-field Ising model taken in various bases. We show also that TetrisCNN can detect more complex order parameters using the example of two-dimensional Ising gauge theory. This work can lead to the integration of NNs with quantum simulators to study new exotic phases of matter.
