 OK, thanks to the organizers for inviting me and give me the opportunity to present some of our work here. Yes, pointed out, I want to discuss about finding purifications with minimal entanglement. And this is a work done together with Johannes Hauschild, who is a student in Munich and is published in Archive 1711.01288. So let me just first give a brief outline of what I want to do. I want to first tell a little bit about matrix product states because so far there has not been any introduction to them. And then show a few words about what the concept of purification actually is. Then I'm going to bring this together and show how we can then use matrix product states to simulate mixed quantum states. And the main results that I want to show is that the main result is that they show a matrix product state to abbreviate as MPS-based method to iteratively minimize the entanglement of purifications. So let me now start by introducing matrix product states because assume that not everyone is familiar with this concept. So for everything in my talk, I will focus on one-dimensional quantum systems. So I will assume one-dimensional systems, say of length L. And we have a local Hilbert space described by states Jn, where Jn is going from 1 to D. So we have a d-dimensional local Hilbert space. And having these kind of systems, then we can write down a kind of generic quantum state. It can then be written as psi is just the sum over all J1 to Jl over some amplitude in a many-body wave function times the product state basis J1, Jl. So this is now a generic state. Every state on this system, on this many-body system, can be expressed in this form. However, there are two to the L complex numbers that we need to store. And that makes it incredibly difficult to deal in this full representation. And this is a representation used when using exact diagonalization. So then we just construct a two to the L cross two to the L dimensional matrix. Oops, thanks. And it would be two for a spin one-half system. Now, this state can then be rewritten in terms of a matrix product state MPS representation. And the MPS representation, given where we now take the amplitude of the many-body wave function and express it in terms of the product of matrices. So we have matrix B1, J1, B2, J2, 2, B, L, Jl. No, these are now different matrices. So there are some index. So the first matrix here would be, say, a 1 cross D dimensional matrix. And the last matrix would be a D cross 1 dimensional matrix. So in generic, the dimension of these matrices would be chi n cross chi n plus 1 cross D. So this is now a one-dimensional system with open boundary conditions. And in fact, every quantum state that we can write down on this Hilbert space can be brought into this form by successively applying Schmidt decomposition of this state. So say that we first start from a state in a full representation. And now we can successively do Schmidt decomposition at these bonds. And by this, bring it into this form. I mean, I was not planning to tell you exactly what the algorithm is or the sequence what you have to apply to actually get it into this form. But you can bring every quantum state into this form. So every quantum state, it can be brought into this form. Say it again, please. What are the dimensions of the intermediary matrices? Can you say it again? So say that we take a generic quantum state and we just follow this procedure that I just advertised like where we use this singular value decomposition. Then we would, for example, do first a bipartition between the first spin and the last spins and do then a Schmidt decomposition. So we would then write the state as the sum over alpha is from 1 to the minimum of, say, d to the small l and d to the capital L minus l over lambda l, say, left. And they write. And then this would now give the dimension of the matrices here. So for the first bond, if I do this decomposition, then we would need d states. So then we have d. The next one would be a d cross d squared matrix and so on. And then once we go across the center of this chain, then we would again have smaller matrices. The last one would then be d cross 1. So if we follow this kind of generic procedure, then it actually doesn't help us much because here we had kind of exponentially increasing Hibbert space. And now if you just choose this representation of matrices, then we actually have now, however, kind of the maximum of these kind of chi. And it's in the order of d to the power of l half. So that gives a scheme like every quantum state can be brought into this matrix product state form. For example, using this singular value or Schmidt decomposition. However, the bond dimension grows exponentially with the system size. Well, it turns out that there is, or this kind of format, or this kind of way of expressing the wave function, is an efficient representation for slightly entangled systems. So what this means is if I calculate spatial entanglement, so say if I just do a cut of a system into two paths, say the left path and the right path. And I look at how strongly the left part is entangled with the right path. And I find that it's only slightly entangled. Then I can get away with a much smaller bond dimension than what you would need for a random state or for a strongly entangled state. So in particular, we will then find that the maximum entanglement or the maximum bond dimension can be much smaller than d to the l half. So in fact, we can then maybe go to even infinitely long systems and get away with a small constant chi. So say that this is our chi, and this chi is much smaller than the exponentially growing dimension. And this is particularly true for ground states of gap and local Hamiltonians in 1D for which the area law holds. But moreover, it's also true if we have local Hamiltonians and gapless ground states, then we actually find that the maximum of this chi n that we would need is actually just growing polynomially with the system size instead of exponentially. So this kind of way of representing states gives us an efficient way of representing quantum states if the states are slightly entangled. And this is actually also the reason for this way we can explain why numerical methods such as density matrix renormalization group and also the TBD method by Giffre Bidal, which was mentioned already this morning, works so nicely to describe the one dimension systems. And this is particularly true for ground state properties, but it also helps for quantum quenches as long as one these quenches do not generate too much entanglement. So particularly if we do a quantum quench and stay at relatively short time scales, or we have a rather low defect density, then this method works extremely well. Good. And what I want to get at at some point is we want to look at the dynamics and also statics of mixed states. So at this moment, we are just talking about a pure quantum states. We want to go over to mixed states. And for this I will need to do some acrobatic moves with these matrix product states. And for this it will actually be quite useful to adapt the sort of schematic representation of matrix product states. So schematic representation of matrix product states actually in general. So what I want to do is instead of matrices and scalars I'm going to just write some symbols. So for example, if I just write a circle with nothing sticking out, that would be just a complex number. For example, some c. If I just write a circle with some line sticking out, then this would be just some vector with one index. And if two indices are sticking out, then it's just a matrix mij. And moreover, we can just use it to contract various tensors. So for example, a matrix-matrix multiplication would just be something like this. We take two matrices and we just connect this line. And then this is now the matrix product. We have matrix m and the matrix n. And we just multiply them by contracting over one index. So using this tensor or Penrose representation, we can write down the full many-body wave function. It's something like this. It's like a brush. So we have the wave function as a big rank or order l tensor. And then we have here lx sticking out. And of course, to represent this object, we then need d to the l complex numbers. And when we compress it in terms of a matrix product state, then we just write it in this form. So now here we have then the matrices b1 to bl. And then we see that if we contract all of them together, then we actually get this blob that we have in the full wave function. And I guess this is relative clear. Is it clear to everyone to use this notation? And in fact, this notation you see also on the poster for the conference. Good. So now we have the representation of pure states in terms of the matrix product states. So if we just follow this example here, then the first matrix will have the variation of 1 cross d cross d. So this is now the last one, the last d. Then the next one is of dimension d cross d squared cross d and so on. I guess you can attach a number to every edge. You need labels. Any way. Well, this one here would be jl minus 1, and this would be jl. Is this what you mean? No, I mean the dimension of every edge. The dimensions in between. They are something different, not the same states. Right. I mean, this is dimension d. This is dimension d squared. This is d dimension and so on. Yeah. I could also just make thicker lines here and so on. Yeah. OK, so this is how we can deal with pure quantum states. And now I actually want to come to how we can purify mixed states. So because in many cases, we would like to work with mixed states. So for example, if you want to look at the dynamics at finer temperatures or if you want to look at quenches at finer temperatures, et cetera. So then there are many cases where we're actually interested not in the dynamics of pure states, but we like to simulate mixed states. But this framework, first of all, gives us a powerful way to simulate pure states. So and for this, I wanted to do the concept of purification. So in the statement, it's the following. So we have a density matrix, density matrix rule on some Hilbert space HP. Like this P is for physical. This is a physical Hilbert space in which our system lives. And we now represent it as a pure state that lives in some enlarged Hilbert space HP direct product HQ. This is a pure state psi such that rho is equal to the trace of Q. So we just enlarge the Hilbert space such that the density matrix that we are interested in is so that the density matrix that we actually are interested in is the reduced density matrix calculated from the density matrix of psi by tracing out these subsystem. And in fact, it is always sufficient to choose HQ identical to H physical. So formally, we can always find the purification, find psi by diagonalizing rho. And for thermal steady states, this gives us the thermo field double, which means you have then psi of beta equal to 1 over z times e to the minus beta e n half times. So these are now the eigenvectors of the reduced density matrix and the corresponding eigenenergies. However, this is not a unique representation. So the thermal field double is only one possibility, one possible purification. And in fact, the physical density matrix is independent of unitaries acting on this unphysical space. Because if we just calculate this trace, then any unitary will be undone that's only on Q. And while it doesn't matter for, I mean, if we're just interested in some purification to get our physical density matrix back, I mean, it doesn't matter what kind of purification we choose. However, our goal is to actually use matrix product states or this matrix product state formalism for these purified states. And for this matter, we actually want to keep the entanglement low. So we want to be able to represent the purification with a relatively small bond dimension. So what we actually, and this is now the main goal of what I want to show, is we actually want to choose the unitary, which we can call UQ or U-uncillar such that it minimizes the entanglement. And then there's actually a name for this. So if we find the minimally entangled purification, we call it the entanglement of purification. So and this brings us now to the third part, so where we look at the purification in the MPS form. So what entanglement do you think? Oh, thanks. So the entanglement that matters to us or for the representability in terms of the MPS is the spatial entanglement between the degrees of freedom. So if we have our purified state living on this kind of physical system, and now our state psi is defined on this system, where we now double the degrees of freedom on each side, the entanglement that we want to reduce is the bipartite entanglement for cuts like this. Yeah, I'm going to specify this also in a moment. So. Sorry, is the unitary operator the entirety of the freedom that you have in choosing this purification? Yes, because the moment, I just draw some schematic representation of what we're doing, then it's maybe also getting more clear what the degrees of freedom are that we have. So now we have this way of purifying our state, and we can now bring it into the matrix product state form. So now we can use the MPS representation of this purified state, and we now have the amplitudes of our purified state. So now we have degrees of freedom, which are JP, physical 1, J, Q, 1, and then J, dot, dot, dot, J, L, physical J, L, Q. And this we write now as something like this. So it's a matrix product state where we have now two indices on each side. And the upper one here are now describing the physical bits and or physical states. And these are the lower ones here are now the ancillar states or the auxiliary states that we have. And in order to then obtain the full or the density matrix that we then get rho is in just a trace over these extra indices. So the way that we could then write down the density matrix would be something like this, where we take now the two copies of these. So this is now psi, and this is now psi dagger, where we just flipped it around. And then you see that any kind of unitary acting on these goes away. So the physical density matrix rho will not depend on any unitary operation acting on these ancillar states. So how do we work with these purifications now? So now we actually know how to express density matrix into this form, but the way that I presented here to get a purification would actually require to completely diagonalize our density matrix. This is something that's certainly not feasible for a larger system or for a sizable system. So how do we do this? So the idea is now that certain purifications we can just write down very easily. So in particular, if we take an infinite temperature, an infinite temperature, temperature purification, infinite temperature, thermal field double, and easily represent it, easily represent it. And in particular, if we have the, I call this now psi naught because beta is not, beta is 0, can then be expressed simple as a product state of identities. So in particular, this corresponds just to a product over all sides. It's called like m over 1 over m square root of d times sum over jm of jm physical jmq. So now we actually know how to write down the infinite temperature, the thermal field double, or like the purification of an infinite temperature state is now really simple. In particular, this is just a product state where we just have a one dimension of one. Let me see. So now we have the state at infinite temperature, which is incredibly simple to write down. In particular, it's very well suited for being represented as a matrix product state because it's just a simple product state. So to go from here to finite temperature states, we can then use well-known MPS techniques, for example, the TBD algorithm to go to finite temperatures. So finite temperature states obtained by imaginary time evolution, particularly the state psi at beta is then, so we take now our infinite temperature state, and now we can let's assume that we only have a nearest neighbor interaction, like an ising type Hamiltonian. So now we can just evolve it in imaginary time, something like this, acting only on the physical indices. And this one here is now going to e to the minus beta. And of course, this continues up to having a sufficiently low temperature. So I'm not explaining the details, actually, how to apply these gates to the MPS, but this is straightforward to the, like for example, this TBD algorithm. What is the role done played by the infinite temperature? It could have started from any of the estimatics pretty much, or was it important that it started from psi 0? Well, we cannot start from any density matrix, right? So if, for example, you start from the density matrix for the ground state, and you just act on it with e to the minus beta h, then you're not going to a state at temperature beta. So here, actually, the point is that we want to start at infinite temperature and we cool it down. Does it make sense? There must be still some freedom. So is there some freedom from where you start when you apply this? Yes, the freedom we have, and this is what I pointed out here, we have a degree of freedom on these ancillar indices. So we can basically apply any unitary to this auxiliary degrees of freedom. And this will, in fact, be the main part what we want to use. So we want to choose the, so this is actually the main part that we want to find the purification that's best suited for us. We want to, in particular, find a purification where the entanglement is reduced. And if we, and then this is actually what I want to come to now. So now I want to reducing the entanglement because the framework is now clear. So we have this framework of purification, how to represent the mixed state in terms of a pure state. And also the objective is clear because we want to use this degree of freedom that we have to have a particularly nice purification for our system. And the way that what we actually want to do is we want to choose this unitary in a way to reduce the entanglement of our state. And for performing quenches or for having time evolutions, there was already a rather simple idea, simple idea for real time evolution, time evolution, which is going down to a paper by Christoph Karasch a while ago was to perform a backward time evolution on the Ancillar indices. In particular, the idea was if we have now whatever starting state that we, for example, obtained using this algorithm and we want to evolve it in time. So if we just take, for example, a steady state that we obtained using this method and we act on it with some local operator, say this is now just a local quench or we want to calculate some dynamical correlation function. So we act on it with some operator, say B here, then we can just obtain a state B as function of t and beta, which would mean we obtain, we just take here, so we just apply here a time evolution of u of t, where u of t is just e to the minus i th. And they actually showed that, they showed numerically that in many cases the entanglement growth or the entanglement that's building up can be strongly reduced by simultaneously doing a backward time evolution on these Ancillars. So here we just evolve it forward in time on the physical indices. Now we can do whatever to the Ancillar indices and they showed that if we just evolve it backwards in time that this is actually strongly reducing the entanglement growth of the system. But it turns out that first of all, this is not ideal in many cases. And moreover, it doesn't work whenever we do imaginary time evolution. So it does not work for imaginary time evolution. So and the idea that I mainly want to propose now is how we actually can optimize this unitary. How we can, like I want to propose some algorithm that actually allows us to approximate the minimally entangled state. So the idea now is the following. So we are using the method that I just introduced. So we use this kind of bond-wise time evolution. So we follow each trotter step by acting with a row of disentanglers. And in particular what we're doing, we minimize the second Rennie entropy. The second Rennie entropy is given by s to minus log of trace of row squared, row reduced squared. And using this schematic that I've shown before, we actually now have our purified state. Now what we are doing is we just act with a two-side gate performing the time evolution. So this is now our u time. And now we iteratively try to remove as much as entanglement as possible by some u disentangler. And the way that we find it is by numerically or iteratively minimizing the second Rennie entropy. And the reason why we choose a second Rennie entropy is because we can actually nicely calculate it in a closed form. Particularly what we are interested in, we are interested in calculating the trace of row squared. So we want to maximize the trace of row squared. And we can simply calculate trace of row squared the following way. So if we just cut out, just say, this block that we are now actively working on, then if I just write it in this form, what this actually is, this is basically, this is now my state given in a mixed representation. So this is in the everything left of this blob. It is expressed in terms of the Schmid states to the left. Everything right is expressed in terms of Schmid states on the right. And here are the local states expressed in the states j and j prime, or jq and jjp. So then from this, I can write down the density. This is now the density to matrix row calculated, yes? So the first total step on the physical issues, do you already do a truncation there, or do you keep it exact? At this level, I keep it exact. So I just apply this guy, and now I have an increased punter mention at this point. And now I just choose this guy for this, yes? Can I ask you a question? So now your question. Suppose that you don't do any of these entanglers, and you just try to evolve what's going to happen. Is it going to work, or is it something going to break down? Well, it works. But it's just that this is, I'm going to show some data in a minute. And then you see why this is actually favorable to do something on these extra indices. Frank, how do you define this row? Is this row the previous row? Or this is row reduced that I want to calculate. How do you define it? Well, I define it. Thanks for pointing this out. I mean, this is now the reduced derivative for the relevant for the entanglement of this one-dimensional chain. So I just do a bipartition in such a way that I cut my system into a left part and a right part here. Thanks. Good. Well, given that time is passing by, I just rather quickly draw this picture just for amusement. So this is now what we have now. This is now the density matrix calculated for the full state. So this is now just psi psi. Now, in order to get the reduced density matrix for this bipartition, so I have to trace out this part. And here I just insert my, this is now my unitary that I want to use. So this is now, if I just do this drawing, then this is now the reduced density matrix for a bipartition as shown here. But I want to have the square of this, so I just take two copies of this guy. And now I can just multiply these. Now this is a row reduced times row reduced. And I can calculate the trace by just multiplying, by contracting these indices. So this is now the trace of row reduced squared. And this is the expression that I want to minimize, maximize. And there are different ways that I can do this. I can now use a gradient descent method to do this. Or I can use a method that also used for, well known. So if I just want to optimize it with respect to the constraint that this is to be unitary, then one can use a trick that one is just calculating the derivative with respect to u. And then uses a polar decomposition. But there are some technical details. Then we have some algorithm that converges relatively well to actually maximize this. And by this minimizing the entropy. And now let me just then come to some of the numerical results that we get applying this algorithm. So the first part will be on cooling down to a purified state. And as I just pointed out before on the board, I said we can simply start from an infinite temperature state. So this is just a product state. It doesn't have any entanglement. And then we want to cool it down. And ideally, what we want to do is we actually want to find a state where we have now a ground state with a particular entanglement in this direction. And we don't want to have any entanglement between the ancillar degrees of freedom for the zero temperature state. So now if we just numerically do it, if we just use a thermal field double. So we just do what you've suggested, Slava. So we just take this infinite temperature state and we just cool it down by only acting on the physical degrees of freedom. Then we get this red line. So then we started zero entanglement. And now entanglement is built up both between the physical degrees of freedom and the ancillar degrees of freedom. And what we actually then find is twice the entanglement of the actual ground state because it's a direct product of the ground state on the physical degrees of freedom and the ground state on the ancillar degrees of freedom. If, however, we are using this technique to iteratively minimize the entanglement, then we get this purple line or this bluish line where we actually see that first it looks quite similar to what we get without doing anything. But then the entanglement is gradually reduced. And eventually we are finding exactly the entanglement of just a single copy of the ground state. And we also see that this is not done very continuously. This means that here it doesn't converge perfectly fine. So it's just getting stuck for a while. And then only it's removed a little bit later on. So that clearly can use some further improvement, I guess. So and why is this nice? So if we actually can do this perfectly. So if we don't have artifacts from getting some tails in the distribution of the Schmidt values, then in principle that means that the bond dimension that we require for efficiently representing the state is actually going to the square root of what we would need without this optimization. Yes? So I don't understand is how so there are theorems about the entanglement of low line states, right, that say that the entanglement is bounded depending on the, but you're cooling down from a product state initially through highly entangled states. Right, but there is indeed also a theorem by what he says of an argument by Thomas Bartel, who actually argues that finite temperature purifications can also be effective, can also be efficiently represented in terms of matrix product states. So then we actually do have, we will have some maximum of the entanglement in between where we have basically this kind of crossover from kind of classical fluctuations to kind of quantum correlations. But this maximum will always be at a finite value. And it doesn't matter if your final ground state is critical or something, or? Well, if we, well now I'm just, I'm not one of us, I'm sure this is correct what I'm saying, but what I suspect is that if we have a critical system, then we will only have at zero temperature a logarithmic divergence of the entanglement entropy and any finite temperature, it will actually have an area long. I suspect that this is true for, at least for one-dimensional systems. For the- The entropy of the resistance in the matrix? No, the entropy of the purification. No, this is for the M, we do see it in here. But for the purification, I think it's true what I just said. Good, this is what I want to show for, or let me also say, I have no idea if there's something useful in this information, but there's a particular way how this entanglement is reduced. So here we start then from a ground state and we now just gradually reduce the entanglement. This is now showing the structure of how the entanglement is removed. So it builds up some sort of cone structure. And this is actually for a state at criticality. So I find it interesting, but I don't exactly know how to interpret it, that it just takes the longest to remove the entanglement from the center bonds. Good. So this is all that I want to say for steady states and then I'll come to these quenches. And this is now showing again how it helps. So now we do the following experiment. So we start from an infinite temperature state and we act on it with a non-unitary operator. If we were to act with a unitary operator on an infinite temperature state, then of course the entanglement growth of our optimized state would be, there would be no growth, it would always be zero because we can just always find a unit that completely undoes whatever the unitary time illusion is doing. But if we do something non-unitary to it, then we cannot completely remove the entanglement. And now we compare, this is the entanglement growth that we would get without doing anything on these uncillar bonds. This is now the entanglement that we get from a backward time evolution, the idea proposed by Karaschanal. And if we use the optimized form, then this purple line is what we get. So the entanglement is actually strongly reduced to what we would get from other methods. So that's the good news, the bad news is shown in this plot. This is now shown actually the growth of the bond dimension. In particular we do here the following, we're just doing the simulation with a very large bond dimension so that the time illusion is exact. And then we actually see to which, how much we can reduce the bond dimension with a certain truncation. And actually turns out there, we only gain at short times and at long times, not really. And the reason for this is because the Schmidt spectrum that we truncate develops some tails. And this is since the Rennie entropy might not be or certainly is not the optimal cost function to minimize for reducing the number of states that we need here. So, but here we're actually still experimenting trying different ways to do the disentangling. This is like also for both all the data that I'm shown here is done for a simple transverse Ising chain with a longitudinal and transverse field. And lastly I want to apply these ideas to a system with to a disordered system. So I now switch from the Ising chain to a Heisenberg model like nearest neighbor spin one half Heisenberg model with a disordered longitudinal field where we choose these disordered field from a uniform distribution between minus W and plus W. And this model is known to exhibit a many body localization transition. In particular, if W is smaller, so this model has a kind of many body localization transition and the critical value for W and W is approximately 3.5 J. So, and then these plots here are showing now the kind of spatial entanglement distribution of the purified state, right? So we actually see, and this is now what we get without any disentanglers. So here we see that the entanglement is actually growing rather uniformly and linearly throughout the entire system independent of disorder. So this is a clean case, this is a weakly disordered case and strongly disordered cases. But if we now turn on the disentangler, so we just do the same simulation but now we remove the entanglement, we get this picture. So then it actually turns out that there's a light cone in which the entanglement in this purified state cannot be removed. So in fact we see for the clean case that we see a kind of nice linear light cone and if we go into the regime of the strongly disordered case then we actually find that instead of having linear light cone we find a logarithmic light cone. And this is exactly compatible with a slow entanglement, a slow logarithmic entanglement growth that we actually find in these Hamiltonians. So, and that I found quite neat how basically the algorithm exactly finds this logarithmic growth at least it's compatible with the logarithmic growth. Yes? So this was at infinite temperature? This is at infinite temperature, yeah. You have infinite temperature, you apply a local quench by flipping a spin? Yes, yes, as shown here. So I just take my system, I just act with a non-unitary operator like this is S plus operator on a physical spin. And then I just look at the perturbance like the perturbation done by this kind of spin flip. So you can clean up a lot of entanglement outside of this cone? We can only remove, right. But you can completely remove it. Outside the cone we can completely remove it as we would expect, right? I mean, that would also be immediately clear from the kind of brick wall structure of this unitary is that whatever is away from this cut we just can completely remove. And then from this we would, if you always get a light comb, but it turns out if we just localize the system we can actually also clean it out. That was precisely the intention of my question. So this cleanup that you can do, is it given by the structure of the circuit? No, it's given by the structure of, it's by the physics, by the physical speed at which information propagate. Because this is what you see here, that's why I say that. Right, but in the first case, you have propagation, so you have the circuit will have its own causal structure. Yes. And then you have the physical propagation. Right, but what we see is the physical. So this was not given by the structure? No, but the circuit is the same in all four cases here. Right, but in the first case the circuit was not already giving you this causal coin, it was slightly different. Oh yeah, of course. I mean, because the structure of the circuit would actually depend on the time step. So the circuit of the, like here going, I think we use the time step of like point one or something like that. So the circuit would have already extended far beyond what we see. Good. So there's something, so this circuit that we're using to this time, do you optimize it locally in time or globally in time? Like on the floor? The way that these, we tried out different ways, but the data that you see here is then we just apply one layer. So we just apply one layer of imaginary time, of real time evolution here. And then we just do a layer of disentanglers on the, on the ancillars. So it's just one time step in a sense. Right, like, so let's do one time step in physical time and then we do one disentangling sweep. But it doesn't really matter so much. So we could also do a number of time steps and then remove, but then the picture would look differently because if we just would do disentangling every end steps and the entanglement would again grow away from here. But then, I mean, if the goal is minimizing like the final kind, I mean the final one dimension of the NPS, shouldn't be like the time-dependent version of principal rate optimal in this respect? Well, but the time-dependent... If you do this optimization, if you say local in time, if you do it globally, I can believe that this can be better. But then, no, I mean, in fact, one thing that we thought about, but we haven't implemented it very carefully is the following. If we have these purified states, then if we just use a time-dependent version of principal, how would we implement it? So then we would act on the physical degrees of freedom with a real-time evolution. But the question is like, how do we act on the uncillar degrees of freedom? And actually one thing that we thought about what we haven't carefully implemented is that we define some sort of entanglement Hamiltonian, which is basically the gradient towards the low entanglement states. And then we could use the time-dependent variation principle, but if we just use the time-dependent variation principle on the uncillar degrees of freedom, I think then we would get a similar picture to what we see here. Yeah. In fact, I think this is all that I wanted to say. Yeah. So looking at this last plot, now is this a different way to look for many-body localization transition in large systems? Right, I mean, one thing that we haven't done very carefully, I mean, why I think this is nice to diagnose many-body localization is that here, we can now cool down to, so this is now for infinite temperature, which basically includes all states, but we can also cool it down to lower temperatures and then do this experiment and we might just diagnose even the many-body localization, many-body mobility edge. But there are even some question on the precise location, can you open in the middle of the spectrum where you could think the infinite temperature is kind of like the middle of the spectrum? Yeah, it might give slightly better data than what we have seen before, but still the problem is that if we are in the regime where the system is not many-body localized, the entanglement that we have within this cone is significantly, it's still like, basically the entanglement entropy or the entanglement we are still growing linearly with the size of the light cone, and which means that the number of states that we need to keep is still going exponentially with the linear size of the light cone. Yeah, it's not a complete solution, but it might still go beyond sites or so which are a way from complete diagonalization. No, no, I do agree. It's a, I mean, I have hopes that this can push us a bit further to what we did before, but we haven't pushed the limits yet.
