iter(theta, U)[source]

Given theta and U, find another U which reduces the 2nd Renyi entropy.

Temporarily view the different U as independent and minimized one of them - this corresponds to a linearization of the cost function. Defining Utheta as the application of U to theta, and combining the p legs of theta with 'vL', 'vR', this function contracts:

|     .----theta----.
|     |    |   |    |
|     |    q0  q1   |
|     |             |
|     |        q1*  |
|     |        |    |
|     |  .-Utheta*-.
|     |  | |
|     |  .-Utheta--.
|     |        |    |
|     |    q0* |    |
|     |    |   |    |
|     .----Utheta*-.

The trace yields the second Renyi entropy S2. Further, we calculate the unitary U with maximum overlap with this network.

Parameters:

theta (Array) – Two-site wave function to be disentangled.
U (Array) – The previous guess for U; with legs 'q0', 'q1', 'q0*', 'q1*'.

Returns:

S2 (float) – Renyi entropy (n=2), \(S2 = \frac{1}{1-2} \log tr(\rho_L^2)\) of U theta.
new_U (Array) – Unitary with legs 'q0', 'q1', 'q0*', 'q1*', which should disentangle theta.
