  4. Introduction State of a quantum system of n spins 1/2: coefficients (very inneficient to handle classically) A natural ansatz for relevant states of quantum mechanical systems is given in terms of the contraction of an appropriate tensor network: Inspires classical techniques to compute properties of quantum systems which are free from the sign problem, and which can be implemented in the thermodynamic limit

  5. Any quantum state can be represented as an MPS, with large enough . For finite systems, the state is represented with parameters, instead of . Physical observables (e.g. correlators) can be computed in time. DMRG Dynamics Imaginary-time evolution Thermal states Master equations Great in 1 spatial dimension because of the logarithmic scaling of the entaglement entropy[Vidal et al., 2003] Matrix Product States (MPS) … … Bonds of dimension Physical local system of dimension [Afflek et al., 1987] [Fannes et al., 1992] [White, 1992][Ostlund and Rommer, 1995] [Vidal, 2003]

Purification of local dimension … … Bonds of dimension Physical local system of dimension Any density operator can be represented as an MPDO, with large enough and For finite systems, the state is represented with parameters, instead of . Physical observables (e.g. correlators) can be computed in time. Useful in the computation of 1-dimensional thermal states. Matrix Product Density Operators (MPDO) [Verstraete, García-Ripoll, Cirac, 2004]

  7. For finite systems, the state is represented with parameters, instead of . Physical observables (e.g. correlators) can be computed in time. Exact contraction of an arbitrary PEPS for a finite system is an #P-Complete problem [N. Schuch et al., 2006]. Successfully applied to variationally compute the ground state of finite quantum systems in 2 spatial dimensions (up to 11 x 11 sites, [Murg, Verstraete and Cirac, 2006]).
