abstract

We describe an approach to fix the gauge degrees of freedom in tensor networks, including those with closed loops, which allows a canonical form for arbitrary tensor networks to be realized. Additionally, a measure for the internal correlations present in a tensor network is proposed, which quantifies the extent of resonances around closed loops in the network. Finally we describe an algorithm for the optimal truncation of an internal index from a tensor network, based upon proper removal of the redundant internal correlations. These results, which offer a unified theoretical framework for the manipulation of tensor networks with closed loops, can be applied to improve existing tensor network methods for the study of many-body systems and may also constitute key algorithmic components of sophisticated new tensor methods.

quant-ph · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Constructs explicit physical local operators whose expectation values match twist field actions in MPS, exact in the injectivity limit and at the center of orthogonality, with numerical tests in the transverse-field Ising model.
