Supersymmetric quantum gauge theories are important mathematical tools in high energy physics. As an example, supersymmetric matrix models can be used as a holographic description of quantum black holes. The wave function of such supersymmetric gauge theories is not known and it is challenging to obtain with traditional techniques. We employ a neural quantum state ansatz for the wave function of a supersymmetric matrix model and use a variational quantum Monte Carlo approach to discover the ground state of the system. We discuss the difficulty of including bosonic particles and fermionic particles, as well as gauge degrees of freedom.

A mathematically rigorous analysis is given on supersymmetric embedding of a model of a one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator interacting with infinitely many bosons moving in the s-dimensional space Rs. The model is exactly soluble. By a rigorous explicit construction of supersymmetric quantum field theories, it was proven that the Hamiltonian of the model is supersymmetrically embeddable if it is non-negative. The index of the Dirac–Kähler-type operators associated with the supercharges of the supersymmetric quantum field theories is computed.

First it is shown in an abstract mathematical framework of supersymmetric quantum theory that, under some conditions for the perturbation, the wave and the scattering operators on bosonic states have some connections with those on fermionic ones. In particular, a unitary equivalence between the two scattering operators is proved. Then, a class of supersymmetric quantum mechanical models on Rn is discussed and the abstract general results are applied to obtain some more explicit results on the supersymmetric potential scattering.
