The IQTN Workshop on Chiral Tensor Networks brought together a group of 22 experts from 9 countries at Cosener’s House, Abingdon, from Dec 12-14, 2023, with the goal to advance on the theoretical understanding and the development of numerical algorithms for the representation of chiral topological phases of matter in two dimensions. Following on from…

We are pleased to publish the conference programme for the 4th IQTN Plenary Meeting at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

This meeting recognised recent progress in a variety of approaches to describe the dynamic of systems coupled to realistic environments, for which Markovian approaches fail.  In particular, several methods have been developed that provide or make use of a tensor network representation of the “process tensor”, an object that contains the information required to predict…

The IQTN hosted the European Tensor Network (ETN) Summer School and Workshop at Cosner’s House in Abingdon in September. The meeting brought together 82 post-grad and PhD students with more senior academics for an intensive week of lectures, research seminars and posters, and coding in the gardens.   From the basics of tensor network algorithms to their implementation…
