Bond dimension witnesses and the structure of homogeneous matrix product states
Bond dimension witnesses and the structure of homogeneous matrix product states
For the past twenty years, Matrix Product States (MPS) have been widely used in solid state physics to approximate the ground state of one-dimensional spin chains. In this paper, we study homogeneous MPS (hMPS), or MPS constructed via site-independent tensors and a boundary condition. Exploiting a connection with the theory …
