Hi all,
on Monday, we will have a quantum information seminar by David
Jennings:
Title: The continuum limit of tensor networks: a path integral
representation
Speaker: David Jennings (Imperial College London)
Abstract:
I will discuss a path-integral representation of continuum tensor
networks that extends the continuous MPS class for 1-D quantum
fields to arbitrary spatial dimensions while encoding desirable
symmetries. The physical states can be interpreted as arising
through a continuous measurement process by a lower dimensional
virtual field with Lorentz symmetry. The resultant physical states
naturally obey entropy area laws, with the expectation values of
observables determined by the dissipative dynamics of the boundary
field. The class offers the prospect of powerful new analytical and
computational tools to describe the physics of strongly interacting
field systems.

Hope to see you there!
