Light matter based quantum simulation platforms such as polariton lattices and circuit QED systems have recently shown the ability to support stong many-body quantum correlations. Here, the strong correlations between light-matter particles lead to highly non-classical phenomena such as photon blockade, superfluid to Mott insulator phase transitions and non-linear topological physics. Numerical methods to understand these systems in one- and two- dimensions have mostly been restricted to mean field theories which are expected to break down in the limit of strong correlations. In this work, new methods based on tensor networks are developed to simulate driven dissipative many-body systems in the strongly correlated regime. These methods are based on matrix products states (MPS) for one-dimensional systems and projected entangled pair states (PEPS) for two-dimensional systems. It is expected that these new techniques will offer valuable insight into the dynamics of strongly correlated light-matter systems.

基于光物质的量子模拟平台，如极化子晶格和电路QED系统，最近显示出支持强多体量子关联的能力。在这里，轻物质粒子之间的强关联导致了高度非经典的现象，如光子阻塞，超流体到莫特绝缘体相变和非线性拓扑物理。数值方法来理解这些系统在一维和二维主要是限制在平均场理论，预计将打破在强相关的限制。在这项工作中，基于张量网络的新方法被开发来模拟驱动耗散多体系统的强关联制度。这些方法基于一维系统的矩阵积态（MPS）和二维系统的投影纠缠对态（PEPS）。预计这些新技术将提供有价值的洞察力强相关的光物质系统的动力学。
