- Abstract
It is shown that from the point of view of the generalized pairing Hamiltonian, the atomic nucleus is a system with small entanglement and can thus be described efficiently using a 1D tensor network (matrix‐product state) despite the presence of long‐range interactions. The ground state can be obtained using the density‐matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm, which is accurate up to machine precision even for large nuclei, is numerically as cheap as the widely used Bardeen‐Cooper‐Schrieffer (BCS) approach, and does not suffer from any mean‐field artifacts. This framework is applied to compute the even‐odd mass differences of all known lead isotopes from 178Pb$^{178}\text{Pb}$ to 220Pb$^{220}\text{Pb}$ in a very large configuration space of 13 shells between the neutron magic numbers 82 and 184 (i.e., two major shells) and find good agreement with the experiment. Pairing with non‐zero angular momentum is also considered and the lowest excited states in the full configuration space of one major shell is determined, which is demonstrated for the N=126$N=126$, Z≥82$Z\ge 82$ isotones. To demonstrate the capabilities of the method beyond low‐lying excitations, the first 100 excited states of 208Pb$^{208}\text{Pb}$ with singlet pairing and the two‐neutron removal spectral function of 210Pb$^{210}\text{Pb}$ are calculated, which relate to a two‐neutron pickup experiment.
