Abelian and non-abelian symmetries in infinite projected entangled pair states

arXiv:1808.10804 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhys.5.5.047

Abstract

We explore in detail the implementation of arbitrary abelian and non-abelian symmetries in the setting of infinite projected entangled pair states on the two-dimensional square lattice. We observe a large computational speed-up; easily allowing bond dimensions in the square lattice Heisenberg model at computational effort comparable to calculations at without symmetries. We also find that implementing an unbroken symmetry does not negatively affect the representative power of the state and leads to identical or improved ground-state energies. Finally, we point out how to use symmetry implementations to detect spontaneous symmetry breaking.
