Background:

• Characterizing higher-dimensional many-body quantum states is computationally challenging.
• Existing projected entangled pair states (PEPS) have limitations in calculating local observables and correlations.
• Single isometric constraints in PEPS restrict analytical tractability for complex physical systems.

Purpose of the Study:

• To propose a novel class of projected entangled pair states (PEPS) with enhanced computational capabilities.
• To overcome the intractability of calculating general local observables and two-point correlation functions in many-body systems.
• To explore the potential of this new PEPS class for representing quantum computation and topological order transitions.

Main Methods:

• Introduction of a new PEPS formulation incorporating two isometric conditions.
• Analytical derivation of methods for efficient calculation of local observables.
• Demonstration of efficient calculation for specific two-point correlation functions.
• Analysis of the parameter space and its relation to general PEPS.
• Theoretical investigation into the capacity for universal quantum computation and topological order representation.

Main Results:

• The proposed PEPS class allows efficient calculation of general local observables, previously intractable.
• Certain two-point correlation functions become efficiently computable, a significant improvement over existing methods.
• The new PEPS maintains rich physical structure while enhancing analytical tractability.
• The class possesses a large set of tunable parameters with only a subleading correction to general PEPS.
• Analytical proofs confirm the ability of this PEPS class to encode universal quantum computation.

Conclusions:

• The novel, doubly isometrically constrained PEPS offers a powerful tool for characterizing complex quantum states.
• This advancement significantly expands the scope of analytical and computational studies in quantum many-body physics.
• The demonstrated capability to represent universal quantum computation and topological transitions highlights its broad applicability.
