Absence of barren plateaus and scaling of gradients in the energy optimization of isometric tensor network states
Thomas Barthel, Qiang Miao
Vanishing gradients can pose substantial obstacles for high-dimensional optimization problems. Here we consider energy minimization problems for quantum many-body systems with exte…

Convergence and Quantum Advantage of Trotterized MERA for Strongly-Correlated Systems
Qiang Miao, Thomas Barthel
Strongly-correlated quantum many-body systems are difficult to study and simulate classically. We recently proposed a variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) based on the multiscale…

Machine learning with tree tensor networks, CP rank constraints, and tensor dropout
Hao Chen, Thomas Barthel
Tensor networks developed in the context of condensed matter physics try to approximate order- tensors with a reduced number of degrees of freedom that is only polynomial in …
