  • The auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo method uses imaginary-time projection techniques to accurately solve the ground-state wave function of atomic nuclei and infinite nuclear matter. In this work, we present a novel representation of the imaginary-time propagator based on restricted Boltzmann machines. We test its accuracy against the routinely employed Hubbard-Stratonovich transformations by evaluating ground-state energies and single-particle densities of selected light nuclei. This analysis paves the way for incorporating more realistic nuclear potentials in the auxiliary field diffusion Monte Carlo method, including isospin-dependent spin-orbit terms and cubic spin-isospin operators, which characterize accurate phenomenological and chiral effective field theory Hamiltonians.
