  "abstract": "Solving the high-dimensional, nonlinear partial differential equations that govern the rich physics of plasmas remains a major computational challenge. In fluid dynamics, quantum-inspired methods based on tensor-network techniques have recently emerged as a promising new paradigm, offering large degrees of data compression on conventional hardware and a natural pathway towards solving exponentially large problems on quantum computers. Early studies suggest that tensor-network methods may also help overcome key bottlenecks in computational plasma dynamics, particularly for industry-relevant scenarios where conventional simulations remain costly. In this work, we present recent progress in developing tensor-network methods compared to standard particle-in-cell codes and discuss their capability to overcome the bottlenecks of conventional approaches. We further extend the tensor-network formulation to support the insertion of electromagnetic fields at arbitrary spatial locations. This capability is demonstrated through the injection of a laser field to accelerate a plasma, providing a key step towards tensor-network-based simulation of externally driven plasma systems.",
