Representability-Aware Neural Networks for Reduced Density Matrices: Application to Fractional Chern Insulators

arXiv:2605.20326v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We develop a representability-aware and interpolable neural network (NN) framework for predicting two-particle reduced density matrices (2-RDMs). The NN incorporates a subset of representability conditions through its architecture and loss function, and can operate on different momentum meshes, enabling evaluating the representability conditions across multiple meshes, which we call interpolated representability condition. The framework can be used either to predict 2-RDMs on large momentum meshes by interpolating exact results from small meshes, or as a variational 2-RDM ansatz optimized by energy minimization on arbitrary meshes. We apply this approach to the fractional Chern insulator in the one-band projected model of twisted bilayer MoTe_2 at twist angle 3.89^irc and hole filling 2/3. Trained on exact-diagonalization (ED) 2-RDMs from meshes with 12 or 18 momentum points using six different NN architectures, the best NN is the residual multilayer perceptron, which predicts the 6imes6 2-RDM with 97.07%-98.18% accuracy relative to the ED 2-RDM but predicts an energy 77.353 meV above ED ground-state energy. We then variationally optimize the NN on several meshes including 6imes6, predicting a 6imes 6 energy of just 0.104 meV below ED while maintaining 98.94%-98.96% accuracy. Compared with the conventional boundary-point semidefinite programming, which gives an energy 5.560 meV below ED with 96.40%-98.94% accuracy, the NN achieves a more accurate energy and similar accuracy while using only less than 1/20 as many parameters. Eventually, we add a symmetric mesh of 48 momentum points to the variational optimization of the NN, and provide a prediction of the many-body ground-state energy and the many-body quantum metric on that mesh.
