Stochastically Projecting Tensor Networks

We apply a series of projection techniques on top of tensor networks to compute energies of ground state wave functions with higher accuracy than tensor networks alone with minimal additional cost. We consider both matrix product states as well as tree tensor networks in this work. Building on top of these approaches, we apply fixed-node quantum Monte Carlo, Lanczos steps, and exact projection. We demonstrate these improvements for the triangular lattice Heisenberg model, where we capture up to 57 percent of the remaining energy not captured by the tensor network alone. We conclude by discussing further ways to improve our approach.
