Abstract
We introduce NetKet, a comprehensive open source framework for the study of many-body quantum systems using machine learning techniques. The framework is built around a general and flexible implementation of neural-network quantum states, which are used as a variational ansatz for quantum wavefunctions. NetKet provides algorithms for several key tasks in quantum many-body physics and quantum technology, namely quantum state tomography, supervised learning from wavefunction data, and ground state searches for a wide range of customizable lattice models. Our aim is to provide a common platform for open research and to stimulate the collaborative development of computational methods at the interface of machine learning and many-body physics.

This project makes use of other open source software, namely pybind11 [16], Eigen [19], nlohmann/json [21], NumPy [20], and SciPy [18]. Pre-release versions of NetKet 2.0 have used a Lanczos solver based on the IETL library from the ALPS project [52], [53], which implements a variant of the Lanczos algorithm due to Cullum and Willoughby [54], [55].
