It is shown how to construct renormalization group flows of quantum field theories in real space, as opposed to the usual Wilsonian approach in momentum space. This is achieved by generalizing the multiscale entanglement renormalization ansatz to continuum theories. The variational class of wavefunctions arising from this RG flow are translation invariant and exhibit an entropy-area law. We illustrate the construction for a free non-relativistic boson model, and argue that the full power of the construction should emerge in the case of interacting theories.

  1. Scaling at Chiral Clock Criticality via Entanglement Renormalization

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    MERA tensor networks produce continuously varying effective scaling dimensions along the Z3 chiral clock critical line, starting from 3-state Potts values as the chiral parameter increases.

  2. Symmetry-Resolved Entanglement Entropy from Heat Kernels

    hep-th 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    An improved heat kernel framework with phase-factor reconstruction computes symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy for charged systems and derives a cMERA flow equation that agrees with CFT and holographic calculations.
