Simulating ground states and elementary excitations with PEPS (Dr. Laurens Vanderstraeten)

Simulating ground states and elementary excitations with PEPS
In this talk we review variational PEPS algorithms for two-dimensional quantum spin systems. First we focus on the optimization of ground-state approximations for generic hamiltonians, and show some benchmark results. Next, we build excited-state wavefunctions on top of such a PEPS ground state using a generalization of the single-mode approximation. [more]
