We use machine learning techniques to solve the nuclear two-body bound state problem, the deuteron. We use a minimal one-layer, feed-forward neural network to represent the deuteron S- and D-state wavefunction in momentum space, and solve the problem variationally using ready-made machine learning tools. We benchmark our results with exact diagonalisation solutions. We find that a network with 6 hidden nodes (or 24 parameters) can provide a faithful representation of the ground state wavefunction, with a binding energy that is within 0.1% of exact results. This exploratory proof-of-principle simulation may provide insight for future potential solutions of the nuclear many-body problem using variational artificial neural network techniques.

  1. Medium-mass nuclei with neural quantum states

    nucl-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Pfaffian-Jastrow neural quantum states yield ground-state energies and charge radii for nuclei up to A=58, with weak p-wave terms reducing average energy error to ~3% while revealing Hamiltonian sensitivity and A^3 scaling.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A deep neural network with energy as the loss function solves the two-body deuteron and a three-channel triton model, matching analytic and Gaussian-expansion benchmarks.
