    Abstract

    The magnetization process of the S = 1/2 anisotropic spin ladder with the ferromagnetic rung interaction is investigated using the numerical diagonalization of finite-size clusters. It is found that the translational symmetry broken magnetization plateau would appear at half the saturation magnetization, when the competing anisotropies are sufficiently large. The phase diagram with respect to the anisotropies and several magnetization curves are presented.

  • Clifford Circuits Augmented Grassmann Matrix Product States OA

    　More details

    Recent advances in combining Clifford circuits with tensor network (TN)
    states have shown that classically simulable disentanglers can significantly
    reduce entanglement, mitigating the bond-dimension bottleneck in TN
    simulations. In this work, we develop a variational TN framework based on
    Grassmann tensor networks, which natively encode fermionic statistics while
    preserving locality. By incorporating locally defined Clifford circuits within
    the fermionic formalism, we simulate benchmark models including the
    tight-binding and $t$-$V$ models. Our results show that Clifford disentangling
    removes the classically simulable component of entanglement, leading to a
    reduced bond dimension and improved accuracy in ground-state energy estimates.
    Interestingly, imposing the natural Grassmann-evenness constraint on the
    Clifford circuits significantly reduces the number of disentangling gates, from
    720 to just 32, yielding a far more efficient implementation. These findings
    highlight the potential of Clifford-augmented Grassmann TNs as a scalable and
    accurate tool for studying strongly correlated fermionic systems, particularly
    in higher dimensions.
