Introduction to Tensor Networks — •Roman Orus — Institut für Physik, Johannes Gutenberg Universität, Staudingerweg 7, 55099 Mainz, Deutschland

In this tutorial I will give an introduction to Tensor Network methods for strongly correlated systems. Motivated by DMRG and the entanglement properties of 1d systems (see the related previous tutorial), I will extend the ideas to deal with other types of situations, such as 2d and scale-invariant systems. The PEPS and MERA tensor networks will be presented and discussed. After providing practical examples, I will explain some of the related numerical methods at an introductory level.
