Algorithms for the Markov Entropy Decomposition
Andrew J. Ferris, David Poulin
The Markov entropy decomposition (MED) is a recently-proposed, cluster-based simulation method for finite temperature quantum systems with arbitrary geometry. In this paper, we det…

Variational Monte Carlo with the Multi-Scale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz
Andrew J. Ferris, Guifre Vidal
Monte Carlo sampling techniques have been proposed as a strategy to reduce the computational cost of contractions in tensor network approaches to solving many-body systems. Here we…

Perfect Sampling with Unitary Tensor Networks
Andrew J. Ferris, Guifre Vidal
Tensor network states are powerful variational ansätze for many-body ground states of quantum lattice models. The use of Monte Carlo sampling techniques in tensor network approache…
