Description
In this talk, we will present an algorithm to compute the entanglement of formation for mixed many-body quantum states by using tensor networks. Indeed, we will introduce a new tensor network ansatz --- the Tree Tensor Operator --- which leads to a very convenient description of density matrices. Our results will focus on thermal states of the quantum Ising chain in transverse field, for which we could consider up to 22 spins.
