Conversion of projected entangled pair states into a canonical form
Reza Haghshenas, Matthew J. O'Rourke, Garnet Kin-Lic Chan
Projected entangled pair states (PEPS) are a class of tensor networks that are believed to represent a wide variety of two-dimensional physical quantum states. However, unlike their well-known one-dimensional counterparts, the matrix product states (MPS), numerical simulations with PEPS suffer from instabilities that can be traced back to the lack of a canonical form. The authors describe how to convert a PEPS into a canonical form analogous to the one for an MPS. It is expected that this canonical form will make possible improved analytical and numerical approaches for PEPS.
