Exploring the Effect of Basis Rotation on NQS Performance
Researchers demonstrate that basis rotations in Neural Quantum States (NQS) alter the optimization landscape geometry without changing the underlying physics, causing optimization algorithms to converge toward saddle points rather than true ground states. This finding reveals a fundamental geometric mechanism explaining why NQS performance depends on basis choice, with implications for quantum computing and variational algorithms.
