The preparation of a series of multidentate pyridyl-imine ligands, L1-L3, and their reactivity with the Mn(II)/N3- system is described (L1 = [N,N-bis(pyridine-2-yl)benzylidene]ethane-1,2-diamine; L2 = [N,N-bis(pyridine-2-yl)benzylidene]propane-1,3-diamine, and L3 = [N,N-bis(pyridine-2-yl)benzylidene]butane-1,4-diamine). Complexes comprising dinuclear end-on bis(mu-azido)-bridged manganese(II) units of formulas [Mn2(L1)2(N3)4][Mn2(L1)2(N3)2(CH3OH)2](ClO4)2 (two cocrystallized dinuclear units, 1.2), [Mn2(L2)2(N3)2](ClO4)2 (3), and [Mn2(L3)2(N3)2](ClO4)2 (4) have been synthesized. The crystal structures of complexes 1-4 as well as their magnetic properties are presented. Each manganese atom of cocrystallized complexes in compound 1.2 is heptacoordinated, displaying Mn-N-Mn angles, theta, of 102.53(12) and 101.70(12) degrees and Mn...Mn distances of 3.5091(7) and 3.4680(7) A. On the other hand, each manganese center in compounds 3 and 4 is located within an octahedral coordination environment, the complexes displaying theta angles of 104.29(11) and 103.60(18) degrees , respectively, and Mn...Mn vectors of 3.5371(7) and 3.5338(10) A, respectively. Magnetic susceptibility studies revealed the presence of intramolecular ferromagnetic superexchange, yielding an S = 5 spin ground state in all complexes. Fitting of the experimental data led to coupling constants, intermolecular exchange values, and g factors (in the J/zJ'/g format) of 0.77 cm(-1)/0.01 cm(-1)/2.20 (1.2), 2.04 cm(-1)/0.01 cm(-1)/1.99 (3), and 1.75 cm(-1)/-0.05 cm(-1)/2.04 (4), respectively (using H = -2JS1S2 as the convention for the Heisenberg spin-Hamiltonian). These results are consistent with predictions from recent DFT calculations performed on end-on bis(mu-N3-)-bridged Mn(II) dinuclear complexes. A plot of experimental J vs theta, including data from the only preexisting compound of this kind, reveals a linear relationship, which could be the first evidence of a possible magneto-structural correlation between these two parameters.

Unified Variational Approach Description of Ground-State Phases of the Two-Dimensional Electron Gas.

The two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is a fundamental model, which is drawing increasing interest because of recent advances in experimental and theoretical studies of 2D materials. Current understanding of the ground state of the 2DEG relies on quantum Monte Carlo calculations, based on variational comparisons of different Ansätze for different phases. We use a single variational ansatz, a general backflow-type wave function using a message-passing neural quantum state architecture, for a unified description across the entire density range.

We show that the ground-state expectation value of twisting operator is a topological order parameter for U(1)- and Z_{N}-symmetric symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in one-dimensional "spin" systems-it is quantized in the thermodynamic limit and can be used to identify different SPT phases and to diagnose phase transitions among them. We prove that this (nonlocal) order parameter must take values in Nth roots of unity, and its value can be changed by a generalized lattice translation acting as an N-ality transformation connecting distinct phases. This result also implies the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) ingappability for SU(N) spins if we further impose a general translation symmetry.

We present a method to systematically identify and classify quantum optical nonclassical states as classical or nonclassical based on the resources they create on a bosonic quantum computer. This is achieved by converting arbitrary bosonic states into multiple modes, each occupied by a single photon, thereby defining qubits of a bosonic quantum computer. Starting from a bosonic classical-like state in a representation that explicitly respects particle number superselection rules, we apply universal gates to create arbitrary superpositions of states with the same total particle number.

The exploration of quantum phases in moiré systems has drawn intense experimental and theoretical efforts. The realization of honeycomb symmetry has been a recent focus. The combination of strong interaction and honeycomb symmetry can lead to exotic electronic states such as fractional Chern insulator, unconventional superconductor, and quantum spin liquid.

We point out that although a litany of studies have been published on atoms in hard-wall confinement, they have either not been systematic, having only looked at select atoms and/or select electron configurations, or they have not used robust numerical methods. To remedy the situation, we perform in this work a methodical study of atoms in hard-wall confinement with the HelFEM program, which employs the finite element method that trivially implements the hard-wall potential, guarantees variational results, and allows for easily finding the numerically exact solution. Our fully numerical calculations are based on nonrelativistic density functional theory and spherically averaged densities.
