• Abstract summary: We use Gauged Gaussian Fermionic PEPS to find the ground state of $2+1d$ dimensional pure $mathbbZ$ lattice gauge theories. We do so by combining PEPS methods with Monte-Carlo computations, allowing for efficient contraction of the PEPS and computation of correlation functions.

• Abstract: Tensor network states, and in particular Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) have been a strong ansatz for the variational study of complicated quantum many-body systems, thanks to their built-in entanglement entropy area law. In this work, we use a special kind of PEPS - Gauged Gaussian Fermionic PEPS (GGFPEPS) to find the ground state of $2+1d$ dimensional pure $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theories for a wide range of coupling constants. We do so by combining PEPS methods with Monte-Carlo computations, allowing for efficient contraction of the PEPS and computation of correlation functions. Previously, such numerical computations involved the calculation of the Pfaffian of a matrix scaling with the system size, forming a severe bottleneck; in this work we show how to overcome this problem. This paves the way for applying the method we propose and benchmark here to other gauge groups, higher dimensions, and models with fermionic matter, in an efficient, sign-problem-free way.

  Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) are a class of quantum many-body states that generalize Matrix Product States for one-dimensional systems to higher dimensions. PEPS have advanced understanding of strongly correlated systems, especially in two dimensions, e.g., quantum spin liquids. We present a PEPS algorithm to simulate low-energy states and dynamics defined on arbitrary, fluctuating, and densely connected graphs.

We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

  The Minimally Entangled Typical Thermal States (METTS) are an ensemble of pure states, equivalent to the Gibbs thermal state, that can be efficiently represented by tensor networks. In this article, we use the Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS) ansatz as to represent METTS on a two-dimensional (2D) lattice. Our analysis reveals that PEPS-METTS achieves accurate long-range correlations with significantly lower bond dimensions.

  Free energy perturbation (FEP) was proposed by Zwanzig more than six decades ago as a method to estimate free energy differences. FEP suffers from a severe limitation: the requirement of sufficient overlap between distributions. One strategy to mitigate this problem, called Targeted Free Energy Perturbation, uses a high-dimensional mapping in configuration space to increase overlap.
