Description
Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs) describe universal properties of bound states and allow to calculate scattering amplitudes in processes with large momentum transfer. Calculating PDFs involves the evaluation of correlators with a Wilson line in lightcone-direction. In contrast to Monte Carlo methods in euclidean spacetime, these correlation functions can be directly calculated in the Hamiltonian formalism. The necessary spatial- and time-evolution can be efficiently applied using established tensor network methods. We study PDFs in the Schwinger model using matrix product states.
