  "abstract": "Deep neural quantum states have recently achieved remarkable performance in solving challenging quantum many-body problems. While transformer networks appear particularly promising due to their success in computer science, we show that previously reported transformer wave functions have not so far been capable of utilizing their full power. Here, we introduce the convolutional transformer wave function (CTWF). We show that our CTWF exhibits state-of-the-art performance in ground-state search and nonequilibrium dynamics compared to previous results, demonstrating its promising capacity in complex quantum problems.",
