Heisenberg group of the Heisenberg group is fairly simple – later generalized by Mackey theory – and was the motivation for its introduction in quantum physics, as discussed below. For each nonzero real number formula_27, we can define an irreducible unitary representation formula_48 of formula_31 acting on the Hilbert space formula_50 by the formula: This representation is known as the Schrödinger representation. The motivation for the this representation is the action of the exponentiated position and momentum operators in quantum mechanics. The parameter formula_52 describes translations in position space, the parameter formula_53 describes translations in momentum space, and the parameter formula_54 gives
DMRG of the Heisenberg model for example: formula_68 formula_69 formula_70 formula_71 Now, form the formula_72 matrix representations of the new block and universe-block operators, form a new block by changing basis with the transformation formula_58, for example: formula_74 At this point the iteration is ended and the algorithm goes back to step 1. The algorithm stops successfully when the observable converges to some value. DMRG of the Heisenberg model Within the study of the quantum many-body problem in physics, the DMRG analysis of the Heisenberg model is an important theoretical example applying techniques of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to the Heisenberg model of
