Conference Name Fourth Workshop on Tensor Network States: Algorithms and Applications
Content Tensor network state has emerged as a powerful theoretical tool to study quantum collective phenomena. Various types of tensor network states, such as MPS, MERA, PEPS, and PESS, to name a few, has been used as variational ansatzs to study many-body systems. On the other hand, the tensor network formalism goes beyond numerical methods, and it is also used to classify phases of quantum matter, a computational framework for AdS/CFT correspondence, and even with applications to machine learning.

In this workshop we will bring together experts on tensor network algorithms, and their wide spectrum of applications. We will also devote time in the workshop to explore the application of machine learning techniques to statistical physics, and the relation with the tensor network states. Research talks will be complemented with pedagogical lectures and tutorials.
