Loop-Free Tensor Networks for High-Energy Physics

Abstract

This brief review introduces the reader to tensor network methods, a powerful theoretical and numerical paradigm spawning from condensed matter physics and quantum information science and increasingly exploited in different fields of research, from artificial intelligence to quantum chemistry. Here, we specialise our presentation on the application of loop-free tensor network methods to the study of High-Energy Physics (HEP) problems and, in particular, to the study of lattice gauge theories where tensor networks can be applied in regimes where Monte Carlo methods are hindered by the sign problem.
