Abstract
Simulating the dynamics of finite two-dimensional (2D) quantum many-body systems poses challenges to numerical methods due to the exponential growth of the many-body Hilbert space. In this work, the authors explore the variational power of recently introduced isometric tensor network states (isoTNS) --- a subset of general tensor-network states that allow an efficient numerical simulation. As a efficient tool to find ground states, the variational density matrix renormalization group (DMRG${}_{2}$) is introduced. It is then demonstrated that dynamical correlation functions for the 2D transverse field Ising model and the Kitaev Honeycomb model can be obtained.
