The density matrix renormalization group theory is reviewed as a numerical variational method. The variational state, expressed as a product of local tensors, is improved through locally tuning each tensor. The first section is a tutorial with simplified discussions. Details are discussed in the subsequent sections. The review concludes with some recent developments and future directions.

Over the last decade, the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) has emerged as the most powerful method for the simulation of strongly correlated one-dimensional (1D) quantum systems. Input from quantum information has allowed to trace the method's performance to the entanglement properties of quantum states, revealing why it works so well in 1D and not so well in 2D; it has allowed to devise algorithms for time-dependent quantum systems and, by clarifying the link between DMRG and Wilson's numerical renormalization group (NRG), for quantum impurity systems.
