Tensor Network methods for Lattice Gauge Theories

Giuseppe Magnifico (University of Bari)

Gauge theories are of paramount importance in our understanding of fundamental constituents of matter and their interactions, ranging from high-energy particle physics to low-temperature quantum many-body physics. However, the complete characterization of their phase diagrams and the full understanding of non-perturbative effects are still debated, especially at finite charge density, mostly due to the sign problem affecting Monte Carlo numerical simulations. In recent years, a complementary numerical approach, Tensor Networks (TN) methods, in strict connection with emerging quantum technologies, has found increasing applications for studying Lattice Gauge Theories (LGTs). In this talk, I will present some recent results concerning the application of TN algorithms to the study of LGTs including fermionic matter. In particular, I will focus on phase diagrams at equilibrium, but also intriguing dynamical phenomena such as string-breaking and scattering effects.
