"Evolving Quantum States with Matrix Product Ansatz"

In this tutorial I will describe matrix product state (MPS) ansatz and its
generalization to operators, and show how it can be used to calculate
unitary or dissipative quantum evolution. Such ansatz is, in many 
situations,
rather efficient and allows one to study large many-body systems.

I will explain how to write states in the canonical MPS form and how to
perform transformations, preserving optimal finite-rank description. The
tutorial will include blackboard exercises as well as hands-on numerical
examples and will give sufficient knowledge to produce your own code.
