Moving beyond a black-box approach, the text develops deep learning methods from first principles through a geometric perspective. Neural networks, generative models, and physics-informed methods—such as Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) and Neural Ordinary Differential Equations (NODEs)—are formally framed in the language of smooth manifolds and information geometry.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eA central theme of the book is utilizing structures like Fisher information, the variational principle, and natural gradient descent to map deep learning directly onto physical dynamics. These concepts are extensively applied to the quantum systems, where large Hilbert spaces present unique computational challenges. Key topics include entanglement classification, quantum phases of matter discovery, quantum state tomography, and Hamiltonian learning for inferring system dynamics. The text further extends this information-geometric framework to the optimization of variational quantum algorithms in near-term quantum computing.\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv\u003eDesigned for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, mathematics, engineering, and computer science, the book emphasizes a fundamental understanding of what these models compute and where their limitations lie. Readers are expected to have a standard background in linear algebra, calculus, and introductory quantum mechanics. The text is structured to accommodate different disciplinary backgrounds, offering adaptable reading pathways to effectively integrate modern computational tools with physical theory.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimothy Heightman\u003c\/strong\u003e is a quantum machine learning researcher at ICFO – The Institute of Photonic Sciences in Barcelona, Spain.
