contents This work presents a method for studying low-energy physics in highly correlated magnetic systems using the matrix product state (MPS) manifold. We adapt the spin-wave approach, which has been very successful in modeling certain low-entanglement magnetic materials, to systems where the ground state is better represented by an MPS, such as the S = 1 Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) model. We argue that the quasi-local action of tensor fluctuations and the natural Kähler structure of the MPS manifold facilitate a description in terms of bosonic modes. We apply this approach to compute fluctuation corrections to the bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model, whose ground state we expect to be close to the exact bond dimension 2 AKLT state in a certain parameter range. Our results show significant improvements in energy approximations, highlighting both the qualitative and quantitative potential of this paradigm for studying complex entangled systems. This approach paves the way for new insights into the low-energy physics of correlated materials and the development of effective field theories beyond traditional semiclassical methods.
