Capturing long range correlations in two-dimensional quantum lattice systems using correlator product states

We study the suitability of correlator product states for describing ground-state properties of two-dimensional spin models. Our ansatz for the many-body wave function takes the form of either plaquette or bond correlator product states and the energy is optimized by varying the correlators using Mo...
