I understand that tensor networks and monte carlo simulations are based on completely different principles. However, to my knowledge both are used to simulate the time evolution of a system. Is there any advantage to using one method over the other?

Edit: Sorry if this wasn't clear but my question is purely in relation to the time evolution of quantum systems. Specifically, do both methods achieve the same result at the end of the simulation, is one method more accurate than the other, and so on?

  • $\begingroup$ This is a comparison of computer related processes and not a question about physics, that's why it's off topic. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I would argue the converse: If it is too focused, its more akin to homework-type problems, whereas asking about certain algorithms tailored to certain complex quantum systems is much more in the spirit of this site. (This is not to argue in favor of the current question, but the topic of the question is definitely on-topic here. $\endgroup$
