Abstract

We discuss a tensor network method for constructing the adiabatic gauge potential—the generator of adiabatic transformations—as a matrix product operator, which allows us to adiabatically transport matrix product states. Adiabatic evolution of tensor networks offers a wide range of applications, of which two are explored in this paper: improving tensor network optimization and scanning phase diagrams. By efficiently transporting eigenstates to quantum criticality and performing intermediary density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) optimizations along the way, we demonstrate that we can compute ground and low-lying excited states faster and more reliably than a standard DMRG method at or near quantum criticality. We demonstrate a simple automated step size adjustment and detection of the critical point based on the norm of the adiabatic gauge potential. Remarkably, we are able to reliably transport states through the critical point of the models we study. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Towards Adiabatic Quantum Computing Using Compressed Quantum Circuits

Conor Mc Keever, Michael Lubasch

We describe tensor network algorithms to optimize quantum circuits for adiabatic quantum computing. To suppress diabatic transitions, we include counterdiabatic driving in the optimization and utilize variational matrix product operators to represent adiabatic gauge potentials. Traditionally, Trotter product formulas are used to turn adiabatic time evolution into quantum circuits and the addition of counterdiabatic driving increases the circuit depth per time step. Instead, we classically optimize a parameterized quantum circuit of fixed depth to simultaneously capture adiabatic evolution together with counterdiabatic driving over many time steps. The methods are applied to the ground-state preparation of quantum Ising chains with transverse and longitudinal fields. We show that the classically optimized circuits can significantly outperform Trotter product formulas. Additionally, we discuss how the approach can be used for combinatorial optimization.

DMRG Approach to Optimizing Two-Dimensional Tensor Networks

Katharine Hyatt, Edwin Miles Stoudenmire

Tensor network algorithms have been remarkably successful solving a variety of problems in quantum many-body physics. However, algorithms to optimize two-dimensional tensor networks known as PEPS lack many of the aspects that make the seminal density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm so powerful for optimizing one-dimensional tensor networks known as matrix product states. We implement a framework for optimizing two-dimensional PEPS tensor networks which includes all of steps that make DMRG so successful for optimizing one-dimension tensor networks. We present results for several 2D spin models and discuss possible extensions and applications.

Nuclear norm regularized loop optimization for tensor network

Kenji Homma, Tsuyoshi Okubo, Naoki Kawashima

We propose a loop optimization algorithm based on nuclear norm regularization for the tensor network. The key ingredient of this scheme is to introduce a rank penalty term proposed in the context of data processing. Compared to the standard variational periodic matrix product states method, this algorithm can circumvent the local minima related to short-ranged correlation in a simpler fashion. We demonstrate its performance when used as a part of the tensor network renormalization algorithms [S. Yang, Z.-C. Gu, and X.-G. Wen, ] for the critical two-dimensional Ising model. The scale invariance of the renormalized tensors is attained with higher accuracy while the higher parts of the scaling dimension spectrum are obtained in a more stable fashion.

Developments in the Tensor Network — from Statistical Mechanics to Quantum Entanglement

Kouichi Okunishi, Tomotoshi Nishino, Hiroshi Ueda

Tensor networks (TNs) have become one of the most essential building blocks for various fields of theoretical physics such as condensed matter theory, statistical mechanics, quantum information, and quantum gravity. This review provides a unified description of a series of developments in the TN from the statistical mechanics side. In particular, we begin with the variational principle for the transfer matrix of the 2D Ising model, which naturally leads us to the matrix product state (MPS) and the corner transfer matrix (CTM). We then explain how the CTM can be evolved to such MPS-based approaches as density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and infinite time-evolved block decimation. We also elucidate that the finite-size DMRG played an intrinsic role for incorporating various quantum information concepts in subsequent developments in the TN. After surveying higher-dimensional generalizations like tensor product states or projected entangled pair states, we describe tensor renormalization groups (TRGs), which are a fusion of TNs and Kadanoff-Wilson type real-space renormalization groups, focusing on their fixed point structures. We then discuss how the difficulty in TRGs for critical systems can be overcome in the tensor network renormalization and the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz.

Matrix Product Renormalization Group: Potential Universal Quantum Many-Body Solver

Masahiko G. Yamada, Takumi Sanno, Masahiro O. Takahashi +4 more

The density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) is a celebrated tensor network algorithm, which computes the ground states of one-dimensional quantum many-body systems very efficiently. Here we propose an improved formulation of continuous tensor network algorithms, which we name a matrix product renormalization group (MPRG). MPRG is a universal quantum many-body solver, which potentially works at both zero and finite temperatures, in two and higher dimensions, and is even applicable to open quantum systems. Furthermore, MPRG does not rely on any variational principles and thus supports any kind of non-Hermitian systems in any dimension. As a demonstration, we present critical properties of the Yang-Lee edge singularity in one dimension as a representative non-Hermitian system.

Pushing the boundaries of Matrix Product States in quantum many-body physics and computing

Guglielmo Lami

The Thesis explores the application of Matrix Product States (MPS) in the domain of quantum many-body systems and quantum computing, show casing the versatility and effectiveness of MPS for addressing complex com putational challenges. The opening chapter introduces essential tools for Tensor Networks, addressing the curse of dimensionality and elucidating the main characteristics of Matrix Product States and Matrix Product Op erators. The discussion encompasses also important numerical techniques, including Density Matrix Renormalization Group and Time Evolving Block Decimation. Furthermore, the relation between MPS and quantum circuits is discussed. The subsequent Chapters delve into specific applications of MPS. In the second Chapter, we introduce a Tensor Network ansatz inspired by the backflow transformation for correlated systems. This extension of the MPS representation ensures an area law for entanglement in dimensions one or greater. We employ an optimization scheme combining DMRG and variational Monte Carlo algorithms for efficient ground-state search. Bench marking against spin models demonstrates high accuracy. The third Chapter explores quantum annealing for optimizing complex classical spin Hamil tonians, as the Hopfield model and the binary perceptron. We introduce an efficient Tensor Network representation for the adiabatic time evolution of quantum annealing, enabling scalable classical simulations. The use of MPS in mitigating Trotter errors and mapping to quantum circuits is also explored. In the fourth Chapter we present a novel method for evaluating the amount of nonstabilizerness (also known as quantum magic) contained in an MPS. We overcome the exponentially hard evaluation of this quan tity by employing a simple perfect sampling technique of Pauli string. Our innovative MPS approach enables efficient computation. Benchmarked on magic states and the quantum Ising chain ground state, this method offers easy access to the non-equilibrium dynamics of nonstabilizerness following a quantum quench. The Appendices provide additional insights, including: an introduction to variational Monte Carlo, technical details on MPS simula tions for the quantum annealing and a comprehensive overview on stabilizer formalism and nonstabilizerness.
