Abstract: We introduce a systematic block entropy area based mode optimization algorithm for many-body quantum states of interacting fermions represented by matrix product states. From the gradient of a global cost function, the block entropy area, a long-ranged, non-interacting effective disentangler Hamiltonian is formed. We then simulate the time-dependent Schrödinger equation driven by the disentangler Hamiltonian by employing the time-dependent variational principle based on projector splitting, and minimize the cost function. The combination of the density matrix renormalization group with this gradient-based entanglement minimization forms an efficient low-rank iterative ground-state algorithm that also provides an optimized single-particle basis for matrix product state representation. We demonstrate the method on two-dimensional lattice models of interacting fermions and the Fe${_4}$S${_4}$ cluster, and show its robustness and superiority over earlier protocols using nearest-neighbor mode rotations and reorderings.
