Abstract
Searching for the ground state of a given system is one of the most fundamental and classical questions in scientific research fields. However, when the system is complex and large, it often becomes an intractable problem; there is essentially no possibility of finding a global energy minimum state with reasonable computational resources. Recently, a novel method based on deep learning techniques was devised as an innovative optimization method to estimate the ground state. We apply this method to one of the most complicated spin-ice systems, aperiodic Penrose P3 patterns. From the results, we discover new configurations of topologically induced emergent frustrated spins, different from those previously known. Additionally, a candidate of the ground state for a still unexplored type of Penrose P3 spin-ice system is first proposed through this study. We anticipate that the capabilities of the deep learning techniques will not only improve our understanding on the physical properties of artificial spin-ice systems, but also bring about significant advances in a wide range of scientific research fields requiring computational approaches for optimization.Entities:

Figure 1Deep learning process to search for the ground states of complex spin-ice systems. A schematic diagram for the dataset generation and the training process of E-VAE model used in this study. Simulated annealing implemented by a Monte-Carlo simulation (MC Sim.) is used to generate spin configuration datasets. Fully-connected neural network layers are used to implement the network structure, and the numbers indicate the hidden units of each layers. See “Methods” section for a detailed explanation.
