Loop optimization for tensor network renormalization

arXiv:1512.04938 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.110504

Abstract

We introduce a tensor renormalization group scheme for coarse-graining a two-dimensional tensor network that can be successfully applied to both classical and quantum systems on and off criticality. The key innovation in our scheme is to deform a 2D tensor network into small loops and then optimize the tensors on each loop. In this way, we remove short-range entanglement at each iteration step and significantly improve the accuracy and stability of the renormalization flow. We demonstrate our algorithm in the classical Ising model and a frustrated 2D quantum model.
