Bethe-Peierls approximation in the era of quantum computers

Abstract:
Tensor networks have been foundational tools in our understanding of many-body physics of one-dimensional systems. In this talk I will discuss efforts to move away from one-dimensional tensor networks towards networks of arbitrary structures. I will discuss how well established tools from statistical mechanics have propelled recent algorithmic advances and how these tools have been employed to efficiently simulate recent large scale quantum computations.
