Overcoming critical slowing down in frustrated spin systems by learned multiscale sampling
AI InsightThis study uses the WCRG method to learn conditional distributions of collective fluctuations in a frustrated soft-spin model, sampling recursively from coarse to fine scales, bypassing the failure of cluster algorithms under weak frustration. Compared with prior constructive cluster algorithms, this is the first time learning replaces construction to generate relevant clusters.Key TakeawayCluster generation shifts from construction to learning, overcoming critical slowing down under weak frustration.Why It MattersFrustrated systems are hard in statistical physics and materials computation; this method offers a scalable new paradigm for efficient sampling.Who's Affected- AI ResearchersDemonstrates generative models can replace domain-specific constructive algorithms, inspiring cross-disciplinary transfer.
