Description

Tensor network states are powerpful variational guess states rooted in quantum information theory, which take into account the expected entanglement structure (area law) of physically relevant states and therefore significantly reduce the complexity of searching for them. I will give a brief introduction to these states and their special properties, and focus on their application for the study of Hamiltonian lattice gauge theories.
