Statistical properties of random matrix product states

Stochastic matrix product states.

The concept of stochastic matrix product states is introduced and a natural form for the states is derived. This allows us to define the analogue of Schmidt coefficients for steady states of nonequilibrium stochastic processes. We discuss a new measure for correlations which is analogous to entanglement entropy, the entropy cost S(C), and show that this measure quantifies the bond dimension nee...

S matrix from matrix product states.

We use the matrix product state formalism to construct stationary scattering states of elementary excitations in generic one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Our method is applied to the spin-1 Heisenberg antiferromagnet, for which we calculate the full magnon-magnon S matrix for arbitrary momenta and spin, the two-particle contribution to the spectral function, and higher order corrections...

Matrix product states represent ground states faithfully

We quantify how well matrix product states approximate exact ground states of one-dimensional quantum spin systems as a function of the number of spins and the entropy of blocks of spins. We also investigate the convex set of local reduced density operators of translational invariant systems. The results give a theoretical justification for the high accuracy of renormalization group algorithms ...

Algebraic Geometry of Matrix Product States

We quantify the representational power of matrix product states (MPS) for entangled qubit systems by giving polynomial expressions in a pure quantum state’s amplitudes which hold if and only if the state is a translation invariant matrix product state or a limit of such states. For systems with few qubits, we give these equations explicitly, considering both periodic and open boundary condition...
