Description

Nonequilibrium Green's function (NEGF) simulations face a steep growth of memory and computational cost with the number of time steps. Tensor networks offer a general solution: the quantics tensor train (QTT) representation compresses multi-time correlation functions by exploiting scale separation, and tensor cross interpolation (TCI) learns compressed tensor-train representations of functions and high-dimensional integrands from a small number of samples. In this talk, I give a pedagogical introduction to QTT and TCI: what they are, when and why they work, and how they can be used in practice through the open-source tensor4all ecosystem [1]. I briefly illustrate their potential with recent applications, including memory-efficient Kadanoff-Baym and GW simulations [2,3], a causality-based divide-and-conquer Dyson solver [4], weak-coupling TCI impurity solvers for equilibrium and nonequilibrium dynamical mean-field theory [5,6], and nonequilibrium two-particle correlation functions within a generalized Keldysh formalism [7]. Finally, I present tensor4all-rs, a new Rust-based library that unifies these tools, developed with systematic use of agentic coding and designed for HPC applications.
