Description

Quantum data learning (QDL) provides a framework for extracting physical insights directly from quantum states. In this presentation we develop QDL techniques for detecting the phase transition in the 2+1-dimensional toric-code loop-gas model in a magnetic field. Our unsupervised QDL approach recovers the phase structure and locates the phase transition with a small offset as expected in finite volumes; both supervised and unsupervised QDL methods outperform classical alternatives. These findings establish QDL as an effective framework for characterizing topological quantum matter, studying finite volume effects, and probing phase diagrams.
