In particular, we will perform a numerical computation of a quantum matrix product state (qMPS) with bond dimension $\\chi=2$.\n\nConsider a qMPS circuit defined on $N+1$ qubits labelled $0,\\ldots,N$, with all qubits starting in the $|0\\rangle$ state. In the qMPS circuit, the two-qubit gate\n$$\n\\begin{align*}\nU_{jk} &=e^{-i b (X_j X_k + Z_j Z_k)/2}e^{-i a X_k/2},\n\\end{align*}\n$$\nwhich acts on qubits $(j,k)$, is used, where $X_j,Z_j$ are Pauli matrices acting on qubit $j$. (Note that the above equation describes matrix multiplication, where operations occur in the opposite order as gates in a quantum circuit.) In the circuit that generates the qMPS state, the $U_{jk}$ gate is applied to qubits $(0,1),(0,2),(0,3),\\ldots,(0,N)$ in that order. Suppose that $0 < a,b < \\pi/2.$\n\n# Main problem:\nWhat is the expectation value of the two-point correlation function $\\lim_{N\\rightarrow \\infty} \\langle Z_{N-2} Z_{N} \\rangle$  of the qMPS in the thermodynamic limit as a function of $a$ and $b$?"}
