ggpeps: A package for Gauged Gaussian PEPS

Abstract

Lattice gauge theories are a low-energy regularization of quantum field theories. They are the basis for the development of numerical algorithms that provide insight into the non-perturbative regime of quantum field theories which is difficult to achieve through other methods. We present a python package, ggpeps, implementing gauged Gaussian projected entangled pair states (GGPEPS), specialized to study lattice gauge theories. We give a an overview of the considered systems, describe the GGPEPS ansatz and provide a usage guide for the ggpeps package.
