The Hamiltonian for a system of itinerant particles on a two-dimensional lattice in a uniform magnetic field reduces the translational symmetry to a magnetic translation group, because of the need to choose a particular gauge for the vector…
Recent work has shown that for one-dimensional quantum states that can be effectively approximated by matrix product operators (MPOs), a polynomial number of copies of the state suffices for reconstruction. Compared to MPOs in one…

An infinite projected entangled pair state (iPEPS) is a tensor network ansatz to represent a quantum state on an infinite 2D lattice whose accuracy is controlled by the bond dimension $D$. Its real, Lindbladian or imaginary time evolution…
The tensor network representation of a state in higher dimensions, say a projected entangled-pair state (PEPS), is typically obtained indirectly through variational optimization or imaginary-time Hamiltonian evolution. Here, we propose a…
