Tree tensor network state study of the ionic-neutral curve crossing of LiF

We present a tree-tensor-network-state (TTNS) method study of the ionic-neutral curve crossing of LiF. For this ansatz, the long-range correlation deviates from the mean-field value polynomially with distance, thus for quantum chemical applications the computational cost could be significantly smaller than that of previous attempts using the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. Optimization of the tensor network topology and localization of the avoided crossing are discussed in terms of entanglement.

Partial Multipartite Entanglement in the Matrix Product State Formalism

We present a method to apply the well-known matrix product state (MPS) formalism to partially separable states in solid state systems. The computational effort of our method is equal to the effort of the standard density matrix renormalisation group (DMRG) algorithm. Consequently, it is applicable to all usually considered condensed matter systems where the DMRG algorithm is successful. We also show in exemplary cases, that polymerisation properties of ground states are closely connected to properties of partial separability, even if the ground state itself is not partially separable.

Exploring frustrated spin-systems using Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS)

We study the nature of the ground state of the frustrated J1-J2 model and the J1-J3 model using a variational algorithm based on projected entangled-pair states (PEPS). By investigating spin-spin correlation functions, we observe a separation in regions with long-range and short-range order. A direct comparison with exact diagonalizations in the subspace of short-range valence bond singlets reveals that the system is well described by states within this subset in the short-range order regions. We discuss the question whether the system forms a spin-liquid, a plaquette valence bond crystal or a columnar dimer crystal in these regions.

Matrix product operator representations

We show how to construct relevant families of matrix product operators in one and higher dimensions. Those form the building blocks for the numerical simulation methods based on matrix product states and projected entangled pair states. In particular, we construct translational invariant matrix product operators suitable for time evolution, and show how such descriptions are possible for Hamiltonians with long-range interactions. We illustrate how those tools can be exploited for constructing new algorithms for simulating quantum spin systems.

Variational study of hard-core bosons in a 2-D optical lattice using Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS)

We have studied the system of hard-core bosons on a 2-D optical lattice using a variational algorithm based on projected entangled-pair states (PEPS). We have investigated the ground state properties of the system as well as the responses of the system to sudden changes in the parameters. We have compared our results to mean field results based on a Gutzwiller ansatz.

Efficient evaluation of partition functions of frustrated and inhomogeneous spin systems

We present a numerical method to evaluate partition functions and associated correlation functions of inhomogeneous 2--D classical spin systems and 1--D quantum spin systems. The method is scalable and has a controlled error. We illustrate the algorithm by calculating the finite--temperature properties of bosonic particles in 1--D optical lattices, as realized in current experiments.

Adiabatic Time Evolution in Spin-Systems

Adiabatic processes in the quantum Ising model and the anisotropic Heisenberg model are discussed. The adiabatic processes are assumed to consist in the slow variation of the strength of the magnetic field that environs the spin-systems. These processes are of current interest in the treatment of cold atoms in optical lattices and in Adiabatic Quantum Computation. We determine the probability that, during an adiabatic passage starting from the ground state, states with higher energy are excited.
