Tensor Network methods for quantum circuit emulation and quantum optical systems in non-Markovian regimes

Tensor network methods have emerged as powerful tools for tackling complex problems in quantum science and technology. In this talk, I will present developments in tensor network techniques for two important areas. First, I will present the integration of hyper-optimized contraction protocols into tensor network algorithms for emulating quantum circuits, highlighting substantial improvements in computational efficiency and accuracy. Second, I will describe techniques for simulating quantum optical systems in the non-Markovian regime, focusing on waveguide quantum electrodynamics. I will present results that show how properly engineered single-photon scattering can generate entangled bound states, outperforming traditional entanglement by relaxation procedures.
