Sign Problem in Tensor-Network Contraction by Jielun Chen, Jiaqing Jiang, Dominik Hangleiter, Norbert Schuch

“…We investigate how the computational difficulty of contracting tensor networks depends on the sign structure of the tensor entries. Using results from computational complexity, we observe that the approximate contraction of tensor networks with only positive entries has lower computational complexity as compared to tensor networks with general real or complex entries. …”
