Fermionic tensor network contraction for arbitrary geometries

Abstract

We describe our implementation of fermionic tensor network contraction on arbitrary lattices within both a globally ordered and a locally ordered formalism. We provide a pedagogical description of these two conventions as implemented for the quimb library. Using hyperoptimized approximate contraction strategies, we present benchmark fermionic projected entangled pair state simulations of finite Hubbard models defined on the three-dimensional diamond lattice and random regular graphs.

The initial development of this library by Y.G. and H.Z. that used the pyblock3 fermionic sparse tensor library [50,51], was supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation through Grant No. CHE-2102505. The subsequent symmray implementation by J.G. (now the default implementation in quimb) was supported by the Quantum Utility through Advanced Quantum Computational Algorithms Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, through Grant No. DE-SC0025572.
