A Tensor-Train Framework for Bayesian Inference in High-Dimensional Systems: Applications to MIMO Detection and Channel Decoding

Bayesian inference in high-dimensional discrete-input additive noise models is a fundamental challenge in communication systems, as the support of the required joint a posteriori probability (APP) mass function grows exponentially with the number of unknown variables. In this work, we propose a tensor-train (TT) framework for tractable, near-optimal Bayesian inference in discrete-input additive noise models. The central insight is that the joint log-APP mass function admits an exact low-rank representation in the TT format, enabling compact storage and efficient computations. To recover symbol-wise APP marginals, we develop a practical inference procedure that approximates the exponential of the log-posterior using a TT-cross algorithm initialized with a truncated Taylor-series. To demonstrate the generality of the approach, we derive explicit low-rank TT constructions for two canonical communication problems: the linear observation model under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), applied to multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) detection, and soft-decision decoding of binary linear block error correcting codes over the binary-input AWGN channel. Numerical results show near-optimal error-rate performance across a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios while requiring only modest TT ranks. These results highlight the potential of tensor-network methods for efficient Bayesian inference in communication systems.

A parallel Basis Update and Galerkin Integrator for Tree Tensor Networks

Computing the numerical solution to high-dimensional tensor differential equations can lead to prohibitive computational costs and memory requirements. To reduce the memory and computational footprint, dynamical low-rank approximation (DLRA) has proven to be a promising approach. DLRA represents the solution as a low-rank tensor factorization and evolves the resulting low-rank factors in time. A central challenge in DLRA is to find time integration schemes that are robust to the arising small singular values. A robust parallel basis update & Galerkin integrator, which simultaneously evolves all low-rank factors, has recently been derived for matrix differential equations. This work extends the parallel low-rank matrix integrator to Tucker tensors and general tree tensor networks, yielding an algorithm in which all bases and connecting tensors are evolved in parallel over a time step. We formulate the algorithm, provide a robust error bound, and demonstrate the efficiency of the new integrators for problems in quantum many-body physics, uncertainty quantification, and radiative transfer.

Low-rank Tree Tensor Network Operators for Long-Range Pairwise Interactions

Compactly representing and efficently applying linear operators are fundamental ingredients in tensor network methods for simulating quantum many-body problems and solving high-dimensional problems in scientific computing. In this work, we study such representations for tree tensor networks, the so called tree tensor network operators (TTNOs), paying particular attention to Hamiltonian operators that involve long-range pairwise interactions between particles. Generalizing the work by Lin, Tong, and others on matrix product operators, we establish a direct connection between the hierarchical low-rank structure of the interaction matrix and the TTNO property. This connection allows us to arrive at very compact TTNO representations by compressing the interaction matrix into a hierarchically semi-separable matrix. Numerical experiments for different quantum spin systems validate our results and highlight the potential advantages of TTNOs over matrix product operators.

Fast and Robust Expectation Propagation MIMO Detection via Preconditioned Conjugated Gradient

We study the expectation propagation (EP) algorithm for symbol detection in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The EP detector shows excellent performance but suffers from a high computational complexity due to the matrix inversion, required in each EP iteration to perform marginal inference on a Gaussian system. We propose an inversion-free variant of the EP algorithm by treating inference on the mean and variance as two separate and simpler subtasks: We study the preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm for obtaining the mean, which can significantly reduce the complexity and increase stability by relying on the Jacobi preconditioner that proves to fit the EP characteristics very well. For the variance, we use a simple approximation based on linear regression of the Gram channel matrix. Numerical studies on the Rayleigh-fading channel and on a realistic 3GPP channel model reveal the efficiency of the proposed scheme, which offers an attractive performance-complexity tradeoff and even outperforms the original EP detector in high multi-user inference cases where the matrix inversion becomes numerically unstable.

Numerical simulations of long-range open quantum many-body dynamics with tree tensor networks

Open quantum systems provide a conceptually simple setting for the exploration of collective behavior stemming from the competition between quantum effects, many-body interactions, and dissipative processes. They may display dynamics distinct from that of closed quantum systems or undergo nonequilibrium phase transitions which are not possible in classical settings. However, studying open quantum many-body dynamics is challenging, in particular in the presence of critical long-range correlations or long-range interactions. Here, we make progress in this direction and introduce a numerical method for open quantum systems, based on tree tensor networks. Such a structure is expected to improve the encoding of many-body correlations and we adopt an integration scheme suited for long-range interactions and applications to dissipative dynamics. We test the method using a dissipative Ising model with power-law decaying interactions and observe signatures of a first-order phase transition for power-law exponents smaller than one.

Rank-adaptive time integration of tree tensor networks

A rank-adaptive integrator for the approximate solution of high-order tensor differential equations by tree tensor networks is proposed and analyzed. In a recursion from the leaves to the root, the integrator updates bases and then evolves connection tensors by a Galerkin method in the augmented subspace spanned by the new and old bases. This is followed by rank truncation within a specified error tolerance. The memory requirements are linear in the order of the tensor and linear in the maximal mode dimension. The integrator is robust to small singular values of matricizations of the connection tensors. Up to the rank truncation error, which is controlled by the given error tolerance, the integrator preserves norm and energy for Schrodinger equations, and it dissipates the energy in gradient systems. Numerical experiments with a basic quantum spin system illustrate the behavior of the proposed algorithm.
