137. Lecture 1: Introduction to iPEPS

Prof. Philippe Corboz (Univ. of Amsterdam)

24/08/2026, 10:00

Lecture / Invited Talk

Infinite projected entangled-pair states (iPEPS) provide a state-of-the-art tool for studying strongly correlated systems in two dimensions directly in the thermodynamic limit. In the first lecture, I give a basic introduction to iPEPS, including standard contraction and optimization methods. The second lecture covers advanced iPEPS techniques and recent developments, including accelerated...

144. Lecture 1: Mathematical structure of tensor networks

Prof. Nobert Schuch (Univ. of Vienna)

26/08/2026, 10:00

Lecture / Invited Talk

These lectures will provide an introduction into the mathematical theory of tensor networks, covering in particular how tensor networks can be used to construct solvable quantum many-body models, and how symmetries can be encoded in tensor networks, leading to the realization of symmetry-protected, symmetry-enriched, and topological phases of matter. The second lecture will moreover cover some...
