Analytical Methods in Tensor Networks

by José Garre Rubio (IFT)

Date: October 2026

In this course we will introduce the main families of tensor networks used to describe gapped systems and their symmetries in one and two-dimensional lattices.
We will focus on the analytical questions that can be solved using the framework of tensor networks. This framework offers a powerful approach to encode global properties at the local level of their constituents: the local tensors. This local encoding has been key to the classification of gapped quantum phases in one-dimensional systems, both with and without symmetries, as well as in two-dimensional systems exhibiting topological order.
