Post-matrix product state methods: To tangent space and beyond
Open accessAbstract
We develop in full detail the formalism of tangent states to the manifold of matrix product states, and show how they naturally appear in studying time evolution, excitations, and spectral functions. We focus on the case of systems with translation invariance in the thermodynamic limit, where momentum is a well-defined quantum number. We present some illustrative results and discuss analogous constructions for other variational classes. We also discuss generalizations and extensions beyond the tangent space, and give a general outlook towards post-matrix product methods.

The mixed canonical form enables efficient truncation of an MPS.
“The mixed canonical form enables us to truncate an MPS efficiently [12], which is one of the primitive tasks in any MPS toolbox.”

A right-to-left sweep composes the integrator with its adjoint, yielding a second-order symmetric method with error of order O(dt^3) for the state at t+2dt.
“Completing the right-to-left sweep is equivalent to composing this integrator with its adjoint, resulting in a second-order symmetric method [32] so that the state at time t + 2 t has a more favourable error of order O( t 3 ).”

One can transform the Hamiltonian expressed in terms of fermionic operators into a linear combination of tensor products of Pauli matrices that preserves the fermionic anticommutation relations.
“While there are several methods for accomplishing this transform 180,181 , all result in a Hamiltonian that is a linear combination of tensor products of matrices { I, X, Y, Z } with I = ( 1 0 0 1 ) in such a way that preserves the fermionic anticommutation relations.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
