Boltzmann machines and quantum many-body problems.

Analyzing quantum many-body problems and elucidating the entangled structure of quantum states is a significant challenge common to a wide range of fields.
Recently, a novel approach using machine learning was introduced to address this challenge.
The idea is to "embed" nontrivial quantum correlations (quantum entanglement) into artificial neural networks.
Through intensive developments, artificial neural network methods are becoming new powerful tools for analyzing quantum many-body problems.
Among various artificial neural networks, this topical review focuses on Boltzmann machines and provides an overview of recent developments and applications.
