用沃尔什复杂度分析神经量子态表达能力,揭示深度关键作用

Expressibility of neural quantum states: a Walsh-complexity perspective

  • 引入沃尔什复杂度衡量波函数在奇偶模式上的分布广度
  • 浅层网络无法生成最大沃尔什复杂度,需对数级深度才能拟合
  • 适合研究神经量子态表达极限与深度必要性的读者

神经量子态是强大的变分波函数,但现代加性架构能高效表示哪些多体态仍不明确。本文提出沃尔什复杂度——一种依赖基底的度量,用于衡量波函数在奇偶模式上的分布范围。具有近乎均匀沃尔什谱的态,其任何良好逼近器均需指数级沃尔什复杂度。我们证明,浅层加性前馈网络在常规参数规模下(如多项式激活函数)无法生成此类复杂度。以单层不相交受控-Z门制备的简单二聚态为例:尽管仅有短程纠缠且具简单张量网络描述,其沃尔什复杂度却达到最大。系统尺寸与深度的全立方拟合结果表明,对于多项式激活函数,拟合成功仅当深度达到对数量级;而tanh激活饱和时,深度3即出现尖锐阈值跃迁。因此,沃尔什复杂度提供了一条与纠缠互补的表达能力轴,明确了深度作为加性神经量子态核心资源的必要性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Neural quantum states are powerful variational wavefunctions, but it remains unclear which many-body states can be represented efficiently by modern additive architectures. We introduce Walsh complexity, a basis-dependent measure of how broadly a wavefunction is spread over parity patterns. States with an almost uniform Walsh spectrum require exponentially large Walsh complexity from any good approximant. We show that shallow additive feed-forward networks cannot generate such complexity in the tame regime, e.g. polynomial activations with subexponential parameter scaling. As a concrete example, we construct a simple dimerized state prepared by a single layer of disjoint controlled-$Z$ gates. Although it has only short-range entanglement and a simple tensor-network description, its Walsh complexity is maximal. Full-cube fits across system size and depth are consistent with the complexity bound: for polynomial activations, successful fitting appears only once depth reaches a logarithmic scale in $N$, whereas activation saturation in $\tanh$ produces a sharp threshold-like jump already at depth $3$. Walsh complexity therefore provides an expressibility axis complementary to entanglement and clarifies when depth becomes an essential resource for additive neural quantum states.
