This research introduces a Clifford-augmented Grassmann matrix product state (CAGMPS) ansatz that systematically reduces bipartite entanglement in tensor-network simulations of fermionic systems. By restricting the search space to 12 inequivalent Clifford representatives, the method improves ground-state energy accuracy at a fixed bond dimension while preserving locality and fermion-parity structure. The approach offers a scalable, efficient variational tool specifically for strongly correlated fermionic lattice models.
Clifford Circuits Augmented Grassmann Matrix Product States
arXiv:2510.04164v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recent progress in combining Clifford circuits with tensor-network (TN) methods has shown that local Clifford disentanglers can reduce bipartite entanglement across TN bonds prior to tensor compression, thereby improving the efficiency of TN simulations. In this work, we embed local Clifford disentanglers in the Grassmann-tensor language to define a Clifford-augmented Grassmann matrix product state (CAGMPS) ansatz, and develop a density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) framework based on this ansatz while preserving locality and fermion-parity structure. We benchmark the resulting CAGMPS--DMRG method on representative fermionic lattice systems, including the tight-binding, $t$-$V$, and $t$-$V$-$V'$ models. In all cases, Clifford augmentation systematically suppresses bipartite entanglement and improves the accuracy of the ground-state energy at a fixed bond dimension. We further show that the Grassmann-evenness condition, together with equivalence under entangling action, restricts the relevant two-site Clifford candidates to 12 inequivalent representatives, enabling a more economical disentangling search than approaches based on the standard two-qubit Clifford gate set. Our results suggest that the CAGMPS--DMRG method provides a scalable and efficient variational tool for strongly correlated fermionic systems.
