Hi all,

this is a reminder of David Jennings' quantum information talk today at 
4pm in the Time Room.


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.

Date: Monday, April 22, 2013 - 4:00 pm
Location: Time Room (294)


Hope to see you there!
Best,
Markus
