Summary

We introduce a general renormalization-group transformation for quantum states, applicable beyond specific Hamiltonian dynamics. This method classifies various quantum states as fixed points of coarse-graining, revealing new insights into quantum state structures.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum mechanics
  • Condensed matter physics
  • Quantum information theory

Background:

  • Renormalization group (RG) transformations are crucial for understanding systems at different scales.
  • Existing RG methods often rely on specific Hamiltonian dynamics.
  • A general framework for RG on quantum states is needed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a general renormalization-group transformation applicable to quantum states.
  • To classify different quantum states based on their behavior under this transformation.
  • To explore the fixed points of this coarse-graining procedure.

Main Methods:

  • Constructing a general renormalization-group transformation independent of Hamiltonian dynamics.
  • Applying the transformation to one-dimensional translational invariant matrix product states.
