Confinement and String Breaking for QED_{2} in the Hamiltonian Picture
The formalism of matrix product states is used to perform a numerical study of (1+1)-dimensional QED—also known as the (massive) Schwinger model—in the presence of an external static “quark” and “antiquark”. We obtain a detailed picture of the transition from the confining state at short interquark...
