Core Concepts

1. Tensor Networks

Matrix Product States (MPS):

|ψ⟩ = Σ_{i_1,...,i_N} Tr(A_1^{i_1} · A_2^{i_2} · ... · A_N^{i_N}) |i_1,...,i_N⟩

Projected Entangled Pair States (PEPS):

|ψ⟩ = Σ_{i} Tr(Σ_{r} A_1^{i_1,r} · A_2^{i_2,r} · ... · A_N^{i_N,r}) |i⟩

2. Belief Propagation (BP)

Message-passing algorithm for quantum systems:

Message update: m_{i→j}(x_j) = Σ_{x_i} P(x_i|x_j) · Π_{k∈N(i)\j} m_{k→i}(x_i)

Belief update: b_i(x_i) = Π_{j∈N(i)} m_{j→i}(x_i)

3. Tensor Network Expansions

Systematic expansion of quantum operators:

H = Σ_{α} h_α · O_α  → Tensor network representation
