We have developed an efficient tensor network algorithm for spin ladders, which generates ground-state wave functions for infinite-size quantum spin ladders. The algorithm is able to efficiently compute the ground-state fidelity per lattice site, a universal phase transition marker, thus offering a powerful tool to unveil quantum many-body physics underlying spin ladders. To illustrate our scheme, we consider the two-leg and three-leg Heisenberg spin ladders with staggering dimerization. The ground-state phase diagram thus yielded is reliable, compared with the previous studies based on the density matrix renormalization group. Our results indicate that the ground-state fidelity per lattice site successfully captures quantum criticalities in spin ladders.
