abstract = {Isometric tensor networks in two dimensions enable efficient and accurate study of quantum many-body states, yet the effect of the isometric restriction on the represented quantum states is not fully understood. We address this question in two main contributions. First, we introduce an improved variant of isometric tensor network states (isoTNS) in two dimensions, where the isometric arrows on the columns of the network alternate between pointing upward and downward; hence the name alternating isometric tensor network states. Second, we introduce a numerical tool—the isometric Gaussian fermionic TNS (isoGfTNS)—that incorporates isometric constraints into the framework of Gaussian fermionic tensor network states. We demonstrate in numerous ways that alternating isoTNSs represent many-body ground states of two-dimensional quantum systems significantly better than the original isoTNSs. First, we show that the entanglement in an isoTNS is mediated along the isometric arrows and that alternating isoTNSs mediate entanglement more efficiently than conventional isoTNSs. Second, alternating isoTNSs correspond to a deeper, and thus more representative, sequential-circuit construction of depth 𝒪(𝐿𝑥 ⋅𝐿𝑦) compared to the original isoTNSs of depth 𝒪(𝐿𝑥 +𝐿𝑦). Third, using the Gaussian framework and gradient-based energy minimization, we provide numerical evidence of better bond-dimension scaling and variational energy of alternating isoGfTNSs for ground states of various free-fermionic models, including the Fermi surface, the band insulator, and the 𝑝𝑥 +𝑖𝑝𝑦 mean-field superconductor. Finally, benchmarking on the transverse-field Ising model, we demonstrate that an alternating isoTNS provides substantially improved performance and stability relative to the original isoTNS for the ground-state search algorithm in interacting systems.},
