Quantum field theories, Markov random fields and machine learning
The transition to Euclidean space and the discretization of quantum field theories on spatial or space-time lattices opens up the opportunity to investigate probabilistic machine learning within quantum field theory. Here, we will discuss how discretized Euclidean field theories, such as the $\phi^{4}$ lattice field theory on a square lattice, are mathematically equivalent to Markov fields, a notable class of probabilistic graphical models with applications in a variety of research areas, including machine learning. The results are established based on the Hammersley-Clifford theorem. We will then derive neural networks from quantum field theories and discuss applications pertinent to the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence for the probability distribution of the $\phi^{4}$ machine learning algorithms and other probability distributions.

We derive machine learning algorithms from discretized Euclidean field theories, making inference and learning possible within dynamics described by quantum field theory. Specifically, we demonstrate that the $\phi^{4}$ …
BIG-bench Machine LearningBuilding Quantum Field Theories Out of Neurons
An approach to field theory is studied in which fields are comprised of $N$ constituent random neurons. Gaussian theories arise in the infinite-$N$ limit when neurons are independently distributed, via the Central Limit …

It has been proposed that random wide neural networks near Gaussian process are quantum field theories around Gaussian fixed points. In this paper, we provide a novel map with which a wide class of quantum mechanical sys…
An End-to-End Hybrid Quantum--Classical Sampling Workflow for Discrete Markov Random Fields: A Reproducible Case Study
Sampling from discrete Markov random fields (MRFs) is a hard problem. We study amplitude-encoded i.i.d. sampling for small MRFs where $2^n$ target probabilities are precomputed classically. This removes quantum exponenti…
