TensorNetwork on TensorFlow: A Spin Chain Application Using Tree Tensor Networks
Ashley Milsted, Martin Ganahl, Stefan Leichenauer, Jack Hidary, Guifre Vidal
TensorNetwork is an open source library for implementing tensor network algorithms in TensorFlow. We describe a tree tensor network (TTN) algorithm for approximating the ground state of either a periodic quantum spin chain (1D) or a lattice model on a thin torus (2D), and implement the algorithm using TensorNetwork. We use a standard energy minimization procedure over a TTN ansatz with bond dimension χ, with a computational cost that scales as O(χ⁴). Using bond dimension χ∈[32,256] we compare the use of CPUs with GPUs and observe significant computational speed-ups, up to a factor of $100$, using a GPU and the TensorNetwork library.
