Article Abstract

We show how engineered classical noise can be used to generate constrained Hamiltonian dynamics in atomic quantum simulators of many-body systems, taking advantage of the continuous Zeno effect. After discussing the general theoretical framework, we focus on applications in the context of lattice gauge theories, where imposing exotic, quasilocal constraints is usually challenging. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the scheme for both Abelian and non-Abelian gauge theories, and discuss how engineering dissipative constraints substitutes complicated, nonlocal interaction patterns by global coupling to laser fields.

Phaseless Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo Method for Cavity-QED Matter Systems.

J Chem Theory Comput

January 2025

Center for Computational Quantum Physics, The Flatiron Institute, 162 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, 10010, United States.

We present a generalization of the phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) method to cavity quantum-electrodynamical (QED) matter systems. The method can be formulated in both the Coulomb and the dipole gauge. We verify its accuracy by benchmarking calculations on a set of small molecules against full configuration interaction and state-of-the-art QED coupled cluster (QED-CCSD) calculations.

Ab initio calculations of electric field gradients (EFGs) in molecular crystals have advanced significantly due to the gauge including projector augmented wave (GIPAW) formalism, which accounts for the infinite periodicity in crystals. However, theoretical accuracies still lag behind experimental ones, making it challenging to distinguish experimentally distinguishable similar structures, a deficiency largely attributed to the limitation of GIPAW codes to generalized gradient approximation (GGA) density functional theory (DFT) functionals. In this study, we investigate whether hybrid DFT functionals can enhance the EFG calculation accuracy and the associated geometry optimization.

Data-Driven Improvement of Local Hybrid Functionals: Neural-Network-Based Local Mixing Functions and Power-Series Correlation Functionals.

J Chem Theory Comput

January 2025

Technische Universitát Berlin, Institut für Chemie, Theoretische Chemie/Quantenchemie, Sekr. C7, Straße des 17. Juni 135, Berlin D-10623, Germany.

Local hybrid functionals (LHs) use a real-space position-dependent admixture of exact exchange (EXX), governed by a local mixing function (LMF). The systematic construction of LMFs has been hampered over the years by a lack of exact physical constraints on their valence behavior. Here, we exploit a data-driven approach and train a new type of "n-LMF" as a relatively shallow neural network.

Background: The mentalization-based perspective of Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) underscores fluctuating interpersonal functionality, believed to arise from suboptimal mentalization modes, including hyper- and hypomentalizing. The connection between ineffective mentalizing and specific BPD challenges remains ambiguous. Network theory offers a unique means to investigate the hypothesis that distinct yet interconnected mental challenges ('symptoms') construct 'disorders' through their continuous mutual interactions.
