Description
In this talk, I introduce a variational method to solve continuum quantum models with discrete tensor network techniques. The method leverages wavelet matrix product states (wMPS): matrix product states built on top of sufficiently regular ($N\geq 6$) Daubechies scaling functions. These states live in the continuum field theory Fock space, have finite energy density, and can be optimized with standard algorithms, without restriction to free theories. Further, exploiting the multi-resolution analysis built into wavelets, and its quantum circuit description, one can iteratively refine wMPS to obtain accurate approximations at arbitrarily fine length-scales. I showcase the efficiency of the method on the Lieb-Liniger model, computing energy density and correlation functions. This talk is based on arXiv:2606.23823.
