• Authors: Beno\^it Tuybens and Jacopo De Nardis and Jutho Haegeman and Frank Verstraete
• Abstract summary: We show how to optimize continuous matrix product states for systems with inhomogeneous external potentials. We show how both the energy and its backwards derivative can be calculated exactly and at a cost that scales as the cube of the bond dimension. We illustrate this by finding ground states of interacting bosons in external potentials, and by calculating boundary or Casimir energy corrections of continuous many-body systems.

• Abstract: Just as matrix product states represent ground states of one-dimensional quantum spin systems faithfully, continuous matrix product states (cMPS) provide faithful representations of the vacuum of interacting field theories in one spatial dimension. Unlike the quantum spin case however, for which the density matrix renormalization group and related matrix product state algorithms provide robust algorithms for optimizing the variational states, the optimization of cMPS for systems with inhomogeneous external potentials has been problematic. We resolve this problem by constructing a piecewise linear parameterization of the underlying matrix-valued functions, which enables the calculation of the exact reduced density matrices everywhere in the system by high-order Taylor expansions. This turns the variational cMPS problem into a variational algorithm from which both the energy and its backwards derivative can be calculated exactly and at a cost that scales as the cube of the bond dimension. We illustrate this by finding ground states of interacting bosons in external potentials, and by calculating boundary or Casimir energy corrections of continuous many-body systems with open boundary conditions.

  We propose a highly efficient algorithm that converts fermionic Gaussian states to matrix product states. It can be formulated for finite-size systems without translation invariance, but becomes particularly appealing when applied to infinite systems. The potential of our method is demonstrated by numerical calculations in two chiral spin liquids.

  We show how to formulate a tractable convex relaxation of the set of feasible local density matrices of a quantum system. The coarse-graining maps of the underlying renormalization procedure serve to eliminate a vast number of those constraints. This can be used to obtain rigorous lower bounds on the ground state energy of arbitrary local Hamiltonians.

  We show how (discrete-time) Lyapunov stability theory can serve as a powerful tool to aid, or even lead, in the analysis (and potential design) of optimization algorithms that are not necessarily gradient-based. The particular ML problem that this paper focuses on is that of parameter estimation in an incomplete-data Bayesian framework via the popular optimization algorithm known as maximum a posteriori expectation-maximization (MAP-EM) We show that fast convergence (linear or quadratic) is achieved, which could have been difficult to unveil without our adopted S&C approach.
