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!
