Abstract:Classical simulation of quantum many-body systems is a fundamental challenge due to their exponentially large Hilbert spaces. Tensor network states are a powerful ansatz to efficiently represent many physically relevant quantum states. A key question is the bond dimension -- which determines the number of parameters in the ansatz -- required to approximate all local properties to accuracy $\delta$. In one dimension, we prove that an area law for the Rényi entanglement entropy $R_\alpha$ with index $\alpha<1$ implies a matrix product state representation with bond dimension $\operatorname{poly}(1/\delta)$. For (at most constant-fold degenerate) ground states of one-dimensional gapped Hamiltonians, a bond dimension almost linear in $1/\delta$ suffices. In two dimensions, an area law for $R_\alpha(\alpha<1)$ implies a projected entangled pair state representation with bond dimension $e^{O(1/\delta)}$. In both one and two dimensions, analogous results are obtained for states with logarithmic corrections to the area law. These findings rigorously justify the common practice of using a system-size-independent bond dimension in tensor network simulations.
