Abstract
In the rapidly evolving field of quantum computing, tensor networks serve as an important tool due to their multifaceted utility. In this paper, we review the diverse applications of tensor networks and show that they are an important instrument for quantum computing. Specifically, we summarize the application of tensor networks in various domains of quantum computing, including simulation of quantum computation, quantum circuit synthesis, quantum error correction and mitigation, and quantum machine learning. Finally, we provide an outlook on the opportunities and the challenges of the tensor-network techniques.
