Combining Reinforcement Learning and Tensor Networks, with an Application to Dynamical Large Deviations (2024)
Journal Article
Gillman, E., Rose, D. C., & Garrahan, J. P. (in press). Combining Reinforcement Learning and Tensor Networks, with an Application to Dynamical Large Deviations. Physical Review Letters,

We present a framework to integrate tensor network (TN) methods with reinforcement learning (RL) for solving dynamical optimisation tasks. We consider the RL actor-critic method, a model-free approach for solving RL problems, and introduce TNs as the...

Using (1+1)D quantum cellular automata for exploring collective effects in large-scale quantum neural networks (2023)
Journal Article
Gillman, E., Carollo, F., & Lesanovsky, I. (2023). Using (1+1)D quantum cellular automata for exploring collective effects in large-scale quantum neural networks. Physical Review E, 107(2), Article L022102. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.107.L022102

Central to the field of quantum machine learning is the design of quantum perceptrons and neural network architectures. A key question in this regard is the impact of quantum effects on the way such models process information. Here, we establish a co...

Asynchronism and nonequilibrium phase transitions in (1+1) -dimensional quantum cellular automata (2022)
Journal Article
Gillman, E., Carollo, F., & Lesanovsky, I. (2022). Asynchronism and nonequilibrium phase transitions in (1+1) -dimensional quantum cellular automata. Physical Review E, 106(3), Article L032103. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.106.L032103

Probabilistic cellular automata provide a simple framework for exploring classical nonequilibrium processes. Recently, quantum cellular automata have been proposed that rely on the propagation of a one-dimensional quantum state along a fictitious dis...

Quantum and Classical Temporal Correlations in (1+1)D Quantum Cellular Automata (2021)
Journal Article

We employ (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum cellular automata to study the evolution of entangle-ment and coherence near criticality in quantum systems that display non-equilibrium steady-state phase transitions. This construction permits direct access to... Read More about Quantum and Classical Temporal Correlations in (1+1)D Quantum Cellular Automata.

Numerical simulation of quantum nonequilibrium phase transitions without finite-size effects (2021)
Journal Article

Classical (1 + 1)D cellular automata, as for instance Domany-Kinzel cellular automata, are paradigmatic systems for the study of non-equilibrium phenomena. Such systems evolve in discrete time-steps, and are thus free of time-discretisation errors. M...

Motivated by recent progress in the experimental development of quantum simulators based on Rydberg atoms, we introduce and investigate the dynamics of a class of (1+1)-dimensional quantum cellular automata.
