Deep learning and the AdS/CFT correspondence

We present a deep neural network representation of the AdS/CFT correspondence, and demonstrate the emergence of the bulk metric function via the learning process for given data sets of response in boundary quantum field theories. The emergent radial direction of the bulk is identified with the depth of the layers, and the network itself is interpreted as a bulk geometry. Our network provides a data-driven holographic modeling of strongly coupled systems. With a scalar phi(4) theory with unknown mass and coupling, in unknown curved spacetime with a black hole horizon, we demonstrate that our deep learning (DL) framework can determine the systems that fit given response data. First, we show that, from boundary data generated by the anti-de Sitter (AdS) Schwarzschild spacetime, our network can reproduce the metric. Second, we demonstrate that our network with experimental data as an input can determine the bulk metric, the mass and the quadratic coupling of the holographic model. As an example we use the experimental data of the magnetic response of the strongly correlated material Sm0.6Sr0.4MnO3. This AdS/DL correspondence not only enables gravitational modeling of strongly correlated systems, but also sheds light on a hidden mechanism of the emerging space in both AdS and DL.
