Uniform matrix product states from an algebraic geometer's point of view

arXiv:1904.07563

Abstract

We apply methods from algebraic geometry to study uniform matrix product states. Our main results concern the topology of the locus of tensors expressed as uMPS, their defining equations and identifiability. By an interplay of theorems from algebra, geometry and quantum physics we answer several questions and conjectures posed by Critch, Morton and Hackbusch.
