This chapter discusses the properties of tree tensor network states and the methods for evaluating the ground state and thermodynamic properties of quantum lattice models on a Bethe lattice or, more generally, a Husimi lattice. It starts with a brief discussion of the canonical form of a tree tensor network state. Then, a canonicalization scheme is proposed. To calculate the ground state through the imaginary time evolution, the full and simple update methods are introduced to renormalize the local tensors. Finally, as the correlation length of a quantum system is finite even at a critical point, an accurate and efficient method is described to compute the thermodynamic quantities of quantum lattice models on the Bethe lattice.
