block2 is an open source framework to implement and perform density matrix renormalization group and matrix product state algorithms. Out-of-the-box it supports the eigenstate, time-dependent, response, and finite-temperature algorithms. In addition, it carries special optimizations for ab initio electronic structure Hamiltonians and implements many quantum chemistry extensions to the density matrix renormalization group, such as dynamical correlation theories.

In electronic systems, the two-particle reduced density matrix (2-RDM) is sufficient to determine the energy and most physical observables of interest. Here, we consider the possibility of using matrix completion to reconstruct the two-particle reduced density matrix to chemical accuracy from partial information.

However, this is difficult to achieve in microporous materials as there is little relative z-contrast between active and inactive framework elements (e.g.

Understanding structure-composition-property relationships in zeolite-based materials is critical to engineering improved solid catalysts. However, this can be difficult to realize as even single zeolite crystals can exhibit heterogeneities spanning several orders of magnitude, with consequences for, for example, reactivity, diffusion as well as stability. Great progress has been made in characterizing these porous solids using tomographic techniques, though each method has an ultimate spatial resolution limitation.
