This is a short review on selected theory developments on tensor network (TN) states for strongly correlated systems. Specifically, we briefly review the effect of symmetries in TN states, fermionic TNs, the calculation of entanglement Hamiltonians from projected entangled pair states (PEPS), and the relation between the multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) and the AdS/CFT or gauge/gravity duality. We stress the role played by entanglement in the emergence of several physical…

Discrete gravity on random tensor network and holographic Rényi entropy

The boundary many-body quantum state |Ψ〉 is constructed using random tensor networks as the holographic mapping, applied to the Wheeler-deWitt wave function of bulk Euclidean discrete gravity in 3 dimensions.

Entanglement and complexity of purification in ( 1+1 )-dimensional free conformal field theories

Finding pure states in an enlarged Hilbert space that encode the mixed state of a quantum field theory as a partial trace is necessarily a challenging task. Nevertheless, such purifications play the…

Tensor Network Contractions

Implementing global Abelian symmetries in projected entangled-pair state algorithms

A formalism to implement Abelian symmetries in two-dimensional tensor-network states is explained and benchmark results are presented that confirm the validity of these approximations in the context of projected entangled-pair state algorithms.
