Abstract: We derive an exact formula for a matrix product state (MPS) representation (or a PEPS in higher number of dimensions) of the ground state of translationally invariant bosonic lattice systems in terms of a single one-dimensional Euclidean quantum mechanical path integral with sources. We explicitly evaluate the general formula in the special case of the one-dimensional Klein-Gordon harmonic chain, being a spatial discretization of 1+1 dimensional free boson QFT, obtaining an exact MPS with an infinite dimensional bond space. We analytically diagonalize the transfer matrix obtaining two Fock spaces with continuous modes and check that the exact MPS construction reproduces the correct correlation functions. We also comment on possible holographic interpretations.
