Space Reduction in Matrix Product State

Abstract

We reconstruct a matrix product state (MPS) in reduced spaces using density matrix. This scheme applies to a MPS built on a blocked quantum lattice. Each block contains $N$ physical sites that have a local space of rank $R$. The simulation in the original spaces of rank $R^N$ is used to construct density matrices for every block. They are diagonalized and only the eigenvectors corresponding to significant diagonal elements are used to transform the original spaces to smaller ones and to reconstruct the MPS in those smaller spaces accordingly. Simulations in the reduced spaces are used to reliably extrapolate the result in unreduced spaces. Moreover, to obtain a required accuracy, the ratio of the reduced space rank over the original decreases quickly with $N$. The reduced space has a saturated rank to obtain a demanded accuracy when $N\rightarrow \infty$.
