abstract

In pursuing the essential elements of nuclear binding, we compute ground-state properties of atomic nuclei with up to $A=20$ nucleons, using as input a leading order pionless effective field theory Hamiltonian. A variational Monte Carlo method based on a new, highly-expressive, neural-network quantum state ansatz is employed to solve the many-body Schr\"odinger equation in a systematically improvable fashion. In addition to binding energies and charge radii, we accurately evaluate the magnetic moments of these nuclei, as they reveal the self-emergence of the shell structure, which is not a priori encoded in the neural-network ansatz. To this aim, we introduce a novel computational protocol based on adding an external magnetic field to the nuclear Hamiltonian, which allows the neural network to learn the preferred polarization of the nucleus within the given magnetic field.

  1. Meson-Nucleus Bound States with Neural-Network Quantum States

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Neural-network quantum states applied to HAL QCD meson-nucleon potentials predict bound states for phi at A>=2, J/psi at A>=4, and eta_c at A>=6, with binding energies from tens of MeV to sub-MeV scales.

  2. Medium-mass nuclei with neural quantum states

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Pfaffian-Jastrow neural quantum states yield ground-state energies and charge radii for nuclei up to A=58, with weak p-wave terms reducing average energy error to ~3% while revealing Hamiltonian sensitivity and A^3 scaling.

  3. Hypernuclei with Neural Network Quantum States

    nucl-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neural network quantum states, extended to include Lambda hyperons, reproduce hypernuclear separation energies to within roughly 9% and predict the observed proton-radius shrinkage in 7ΛLi.

  4. Criticality analysis of nuclear binding energy neural networks

    nucl-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    On a two-input nuclear binding energy network, the paper validates ANNFT predictions for variance, kurtosis, and an optimal depth-to-width ratio r*=0.034 under SGD, while adaptive optimizers obscure criticality.
