Abstract

We show how to efficiently simulate a quantum many-body system with tree structure when its entanglement is bounded for any bipartite split along an edge of the tree. This is achieved by expanding the \em time-evolving block decimation simulation algorithm for time evolution from a one dimensional lattice to a tree graph, while replacing a \em matrix product state with a \em tree tensor network. As an application, we show that any one-way quantum computation on a tree graph can be efficiently simulated with a classical computer.
