Matrix product ansatz for Fermi fields in one dimension

Abstract

We present an implementation of a continuous matrix product state for two-component fermions in one-dimension. We propose a construction of variational matrices with an efficient parameterization that respects the translational symmetry of the problem (without being overly constraining) and readily meets the regularity conditions that arise from removing the ultraviolet divergences in the kinetic energy. We test the validity of our approach on an interacting spin-1/2 system and observe that the ansatz correctly predicts the ground state magnetic properties for the attractive spin-1/2 Fermi gas, including the phase-oscillating pair correlation function in the partially polarized regime.
