Tensor Product State Simulations of Strongly Correlated Systems
International School
1 - 5 November 2016
The aim of the school is to teach young PhD students the basics of tensor-product states as well as the most recent technical developments. This is particularly important given the increasing number of groups working on this quickly evolving topic. The lectures will be given by researchers who work actively both on the development and the application on tensor-product state based methods.
Topics include
- Entanglement, matrix-product states (MPS), simple algorithms, some Python basics
- MPS for spectral functions, excited states, finite temperatures
- Applications of MPS in condmat and AMO
- Introduction to Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) and the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA)
- Applications of PEPS, model states, bulk boundary correspondence, future challenges!
