10. A coherent approach to quantum-classical optimization

Andrés N. Cáliz (Qilimanjaro Quantum Tech)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Hybrid quantum-classical optimization techniques, which incorporate the pre-optimization of Variational Quantum Algorithms (VQAs) using Tensor Networks (TNs), have been shown to allow for the reduction of quantum computational resources. In the particular case of large optimization problems, commonly found in real-world use cases, this strategy is almost mandatory to reduce the otherwise...

Poster Presentation

Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) have gained increasing attention in both condensed matter and high-energy physics in recent years and have become the centre of many quantum simulation experiments. Theoretical and experimental works have shown that LGTs exhibit rich far-from-equilibrium phenomena relevant to central questions in quantum many-body physics. In this work, we discuss the connection...

Poster Presentation

We use quantum devices from IBMQ to perform digital quantum simulations of the Schwinger model. We work with a quantum link model description of the Schwinger model in its lowest dimensional representation, and use gauge invariance, in the form of the Gauss' law, to enhance quality of data from quantum simulations. One of our goals in this project is to find out if there are advantages of...

23. Interplay of localization and topology in disordered dimerized array of Rydberg atoms

Maksym Prodius (Jagiellonian University)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Rydberg tweezer arrays provide a platform for realizing spin-1/2 Hamiltonians with long-range tunnelings decaying according to power-law with the distance. We numerically investigate the effects of positional disorder and dimerization on the properties of excited states in such a one-dimensional system. Our model allows for the continuous tuning of dimerization patterns and disorder strength....

Adwait Naravane (Ghent university)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

In this presentation, I shall discuss how one can use Symmetric tensors to study theories with local gauge symmetries and how this can be used to study 2+1D Quantum lattice models or two and three dimensional classical gauge theories using Tensor network methods like PEPS or Tensor renormalisation group.

59. Limitations of tensor-network approaches for optimization and sampling: A comparison to quantum and classical Ising machines

Ms Anna Maria Dziubyna (Jagiellonian University)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Optimization problems pose challenges across various fields. In recent years, quantum annealers have emerged as a promising platform for tackling such challenges. To provide a new perspective, we develop a heuristic tensor-network-based algorithm to reveal the low-energy spectrum of Ising spin-glass systems with interaction graphs relevant to present-day quantum annealers. Our deterministic...

62. Perturbative tensor network varieties for correlated excitations

Otto Theodor Primus Schmidt (MPI MiS / BEC Pitaevskii)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

The Mott insulator–superfluid transition in the one-dimensional Bose–Hubbard model is a paradigmatic example of a second-order quantum phase transition. While mean-field approaches capture the transition itself, they fail to describe correlated excitations in the Mott phase.
We present a perturbative tensor network ansatz based on Bogoliubov–de Gennes (BdG) equations that overcomes this...

30. Phases of the Maple Leaf Antiferromagnet

Paul Ebert (Max Planck Institute for The Physics of Complex Systems (Dresden, Germany))

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

The Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the maple leaf lattice is a recent candidate host for spin liquid phases ([1, 2, 3]) and can also be realized experimentally both in natural minerals ([4, 5]) as well as synthetic compounds ([6, 7]). Employing exact diagonalization we investigate different ground states and map out the phase diagram under variations of three symmetry-inequivalent...

Zeki Zeybek (Universität Hamburg)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Determining optimal time-dependent fields to steer quantum systems is a critical yet computationally demanding
task, often complicated by vast and complex search landscapes. This work explores the application
of tensor network methodologies to navigate these high-dimensional parameter spaces in quantum optimal
control effectively. We investigate how structured, low-rank tensor...

Poster Presentation

We propose digital quantum simulation schemes of 2+1D U(1) link quantum electrodynamics and compare the results with classical tensor network simulations for benchmarking. To verify the accuracy of our quantum simulations, we employ tensor network methods as a classical benchmark, ensuring consistency in regimes where classical computations remain tractable. Our findings demonstrate the...

27. Real-time simulation of pure Yang-Mills SU(3) glueballs scattering processes with MPS

Mattia Morgavi (Università degli Studi di Padova)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

We introduce a model-independent method to construct Matrix Product Operator (MPO) representations of quasiparticle creation operators acting on the interacting vacuum of (quasi-)one-dimensional quantum many-body systems. This method exploits maximally localized Wannier functions constructed from single-particle states at intermediate system sizes, which provides the building blocks for a...

8. Robustness of Magic in the quantum Ising chain via Quantum Monte Carlo tomography

Hari Timsina (International School for Advanced Studies (SISSA), Trieste, Italy)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

We study the behavior of magic as a bipartite correlation in the quantum Ising chain across its quantum phase transition, and at finite temperature. In order to quantify the magic of partitions rigorously, we formulate a hybrid scheme that combines stochastic sampling of reduced density matrices via quantum Monte Carlo, with state-of-the-art estimators for the robustness of magic - a *bona...

58. Simulating finite-temperature phase diagrams using cluster expansions

Sander De Meyer (Ghent University)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Cluster expansions were recently proposed as an accurate method to compute the exponential of the Hamiltonian. Since the exponential can be represented as a Projected Entangled Pair Operator (PEPO), a temperature range can be scanned by evolving through imaginary time by multiplying PEPOs and truncating them. Various truncation schemes exist, balancing accuracy and computational efficiency. We...

Poster Presentation

Quantum computing offers the potential for computational abilities that can go beyond classical machines. However, they are still limited by several challenges such as noise, decoherence, and gate errors. As a result, efficient classical simulation of quantum circuits is vital not only for validating and benchmarking quantum hardware but also for gaining deeper insights into the behavior of...

Yuan Gao (Beihang University)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Using the developed thermal tensor-network approach, we investigate the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) of the triangular-lattice quantum antiferromagnet hosting spin supersolid phase. We focus on the low-temperature scaling behaviors of the normalized spin current across the interface. Using the 1D Heisenberg chain as a benchmark system, we observe a negative spinon spin current exhibiting...

20. String dynamics in 2+1 D lattice gauge theory

Kaidi Xu (Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

We discuss the string breaking dynamics in the presence of creation of dynamical charge pair. We consider different string configuration that belong to different sectors and their ability to escape a false vacuum. We then further analyze how they set the onset critical time and critical point and local observables and entanglement profile that signal the dynamical quantum phase transition.

41. Stripe Order vs. Superconductivity: Revisiting the doped t-J model with iPEPS and AD

Emilio Cortés Estay (University of Amsterdam)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

The $t$-$J$ model is one of the simplest theoretical models believed to capture key aspects of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprate materials. Despite extensive study, the nature of its ground state at finite doping remains unsettled. Stripe order, characterized by intertwined charge and spin density waves, appears to compete closely with d-wave superconductivity. Previous DMRG...

31. Strong long-range interactions and geometrical frustration in subwavelength lattices

Domantas Burba

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

Non-local interactions are the key building block to allow for a spontaneous breaking of the translational symmetry. The latter represents one of the most fundamental symmetries in physics as it reflects the formation of periodic structures of mass and electric charge. Quantum matter with such a feature falls in the class of spontaneously symmetry broken (SSB) many-body phases with broken...

Victor Vanthilt (Ghent University)

07/10/2025, 16:45

Poster Presentation

We introduce a matrix product operator (MPO) encoding of the Dyson series, which is the time-evolution operator for quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians. The MPO can be made accurate up to arbitrary order in the timestep, the construction can be applied to both finite and infinite systems and it can handle long-range interactions.
