Topological Order in Deep State
Topologically ordered states are a frontier in quantum materials, challenging traditional mean-field theories due to their strong-coupling nature. This research introduces an attention-based deep neural network, specifically a variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method, to discover fractional Chern insulator (FCI) ground states purely through energy minimization. A novel 'momentum spectroscopy' post-processing protocol is developed to extract topological degeneracy from a single optimized real-space wavefunction, effectively revealing degenerate ground states in distinct momentum sectors without prior momentum-specific training. The method successfully identifies a clear three-fold topological degeneracy in a continuum model of interacting fermions with zero net flux, alongside competing charge density wave phases. This work positions neural network VMC as a powerful tool for exploring strongly correlated topological phases.

This 'momentum spectroscopy' protocol decomposes an optimized variational wavefunction into distinct momentum sectors, revealing degenerate ground states, which is particularly suited for uncovering states at distinct momenta.
Focuses on the discovery and characterization of fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) within a minimal continuum model of spinless fermions in a periodic magnetic field with zero net flux. The study identifies a clear three-fold topological degeneracy and compares NN-VMC results against band-projected exact diagonalization, showing superior energy minimization.

FCI Ground State Discovery
Problem: Traditional methods struggled to identify Fractional Chern Insulator (FCI) ground states in continuum models with zero net flux due to strong correlation and computational complexity.
Solution: An attention-based deep neural network, optimized via VMC, was employed to directly learn the many-body wavefunction without band projection or prior topological input. A novel momentum spectroscopy method extracted topological degeneracy.
Results: The NN-VMC method successfully identified a gapped quantum liquid state with clear three-fold topological degeneracy, corresponding to the FCI phase, achieving significantly lower energies than band-projected exact diagonalization. It also identified competing charge density wave phases under different parameters.
