PEPS Light (Projected Entangled Pair States)
True 2D tensor network representation for shallow-depth circuits.
Features:
- Small patch PEPS (4×4, 5×5 grids)
- Boundary-MPS contraction
- Cotengra-style hyper-optimization
- Shallow quantum supremacy circuits
- 2D cluster states
This is a "light" implementation suitable for moderate-size patches.
Full PEPS optimization is left for future work.
