Problem
Current methods for solving large Hamiltonians, particularly in superconducting quantum computer simulations, are resource-intensive and face challenges with convergence issues, requiring significant computational resources and time, and often struggle with accurately addressing multiple eigenvalues simultaneously.
Innovation Solution
A computerized method using a tensor network approach that adapts the Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG) algorithm to solve for multiple eigenvalues simultaneously by introducing an extra index in the tensor network, allowing for the evaluation of recursive relations, formation of block tridiagonal matrices, and diagonalization to obtain new eigenvectors and eigenvalues, while also considering Lanczos and Conjugate gradient techniques for efficiency.

1Measurement precision
If traditional DMRG method is used to solve for multiple eigenvalues, then each eigenvalue can be solved individually, but the computing time increases significantly as the method needs to be repeated for different eigenvalues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines multiple DMRG calculations into a single unified calculation by introducing an extra index in the tensor network that simultaneously tracks multiple eigenvalues. This merging approach allows the algorithm to compute multiple eigenvalues in one pass through the system, rather than repeating the calculation separately for each eigenvalue, thereby significantly reducing total computing time while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The modified tensor network method achieves multi-functionality by enabling a single computational framework to handle multiple eigenvalue problems simultaneously. The extra index structure allows the same algorithmic core to extract multiple eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors from one execution, making the method universal for solving multiple spectral problems without requiring separate specialized routines for each eigenvalue.
2Device complexity
If tensor network methods are used to reduce computational resources, then large systems can be addressed, but some methods produce discrepancies or systematic errors such as missing eigenvalues
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the tensor network calculation systematically tracks and records eigenvalues through the extra index structure. This feedback approach ensures that multiple eigenvalues are captured during the calculation process, and the method can identify when eigenvalues have been found versus when they are missing, allowing for systematic correction and verification of completeness rather than producing undetected systematic errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The method employs dynamic adaptation by allowing the tensor network to adjust its calculation focus based on the spectral properties being sought. The extra index structure enables the algorithm to dynamically track multiple eigenvalues throughout the calculation, adapting to the system's spectral distribution and ensuring comprehensive eigenvalue capture without requiring static assumptions about which eigenvalues will be most important.
3Productivity
If more computer resources are allocated to solve Hamiltonians faster, then larger physical systems can be simulated, but the resource requirements and complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by breaking down the large eigenvalue problem into manageable tensor network components that can be processed systematically. The extra index structure segments the eigenvalue extraction process, allowing the algorithm to handle multiple eigenvalues through a structured decomposition that reduces the overall computational burden compared to traditional methods that would require separate full-scale calculations for each eigenvalue.
