Abstract

Projected entangled pair states (PEPS) provide an efficient variational ansatz for two-dimensional quantum phases, but computing observables remains challenging because PEPS contraction is generally costly. Here, we parameterize two-dimensional quantum states using variational PEPS subject to isometric constraints and map the resulting ansatz onto monitored quantum circuits, replacing tensor-network contraction with circuit sampling. For infinite cylinders, the transfer matrix defines a quantum channel on the virtual boundary. We use a fixed-point treatment and a monitored-circuit unraveling of this channel to evaluate observables efficiently. Using a constant number of variational parameters and a number of qubits that scales only with the cylinder width, our method yields a phase diagram for the $J_1$-$J_2$ model in qualitative agreement with DMRG results. Because the monitored circuits are compatible with near-term quantum hardware, this approach provides a hybrid quantum-classical framework for simulating two-dimensional quantum many-body systems.

Matrix Product Evolution: A Method for Simulating Quantum Circuits Using Tensor Networks

This work introduces Matrix Product Evolution (MPE), a tensor-train representation of quantum circuits constructed along the circuit depth rather than along the qubit index, and develops an efficient contraction strategy based on a zip-up procedure to carry out this contraction in practice.

Rigorous Time-dependent Hamiltonian Learning via Continuous Weak Measurements

Characterizing the Hamiltonian that a quantum processor actually implements is central to calibrating and validating current quantum hardware. Many devices, however, operate with generators that are time dependent by design. Here we develop a rigorous and experimentally friendly protocol for learning time-dependent man...
