PrerequisiteA basic knowledge of quantum mechanics is required.AbstractThis course will provide a general introduction to the theoretical part of tensor networks. The main contents include symmetric tensor network representation, fermionic tensor network representation, tensor network representation of typical topological quantum states, as well as connections between tensor network representat...
