Observation of a Topological Phase Transition with Deep Neural Networks in spin-orbit-coupled fermions

POSTER

Abstract

Machine Learning (ML) techniques have emerged as a powerful tool in quantum matter research. In this poster, we highlight how ML algorithms enable us to analyze experimental data with unprecedented high sensitivities and identify topological phases even in the presence of unavoidable noises. To this end, we apply the trained network to low signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) experimental data obtained in a symmetry-protected topological system of spin-orbit-coupled fermions [1]. The obtained phase diagram by ML is consistent with the results obtained by using the conventional method on higher SNR data. Our work highlights the potential of machine learning techniques to be used in various quantum systems.
