Summary
This chapter introduces the quantum transfer matrix renormalization group (QTMRG). It is a method of studying the thermodynamic and correlation functions of one-dimensional quantum lattice models. The RG transformation matrices are determined using the criteria presented in the preceding chapter and used to update the transfer matrix and other physical quantities. The spin-1/2 and spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg models are used to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.
