Feynman integrals obey linear relations governed by intersection numbers, which act as scalar products between vector spaces. We present a general algorithm for the construction of multivariate intersection numbers relevant to Feynman integrals, and show for the first time how they can be used to solve the problem of integral reduction to a basis of master integrals by projections, and to directly derive functional equations fulfilled by the latter. We apply it to the decomposition of a few Feynman integrals at one and two loops, as first steps toward potential applications to generic multiloop integrals. The proposed method can be more generally employed for the derivation of contiguity relations for special functions admitting multifold integral representations.

We introduce a method for computing quantum mechanical forces through surface integrals over the stress tensor within the framework of the density functional theory. This approach avoids the inaccuracies of traditional force calculations using the Hellmann-Feynman theorem when applied to multiresolution wavelet representations of orbitals. By integrating the quantum mechanical stress tensor over surfaces that enclose individual nuclei, we achieve highly accurate forces that exhibit superior consistency with the potential energy surface.

We apply the methodology of Lustig, with which rigorous expressions for all thermodynamic properties can be derived in any statistical ensemble, to derive expressions for the calculation of thermodynamic properties in the path integral formulation of the quantum-mechanical isobaric-isothermal (NpT) ensemble. With the derived expressions, thermodynamic properties such as the density, speed of sound, or Joule-Thomson coefficient can be calculated in path integral Monte Carlo simulations, fully incorporating quantum effects without uncontrolled approximations within the well-known isomorphism between the quantum-mechanical partition function and a classical system of ring polymers. The derived expressions are verified by simulations of supercritical helium above the vapor-liquid critical point at selected state points using recent highly accurate ab initio potentials for pairwise and nonadditive three-body interactions.

In this paper, we propose employing electron scattering to realize unitary quantum gates that are controlled by three qubits. Using Feynman's rules, we find an expression for the transition amplitude for scattering from an external electromagnetic source. In this context, the scattering amplitude is modeled as a unitary gate whose state can be regulated.

Antibiotics are currently the most used antibacterial treatment for killing bacteria. However, bacteria develop resistance when continually overexposed to antibiotics. Developing antimicrobial agents that can replace existing antibiotics is essential because antibiotic-resistant bacteria have resistance mechanisms for all current antibiotics and can promote nosocomial infections.

Developing numerical exact solvers for open quantum systems is a challenging task due to the non-perturbative and non-Markovian nature when coupling to structured environments. The Feynman-Vernon influence functional approach is a powerful analytical tool to study the dynamics of open quantum systems. Numerical treatments of the influence functional including the quasi-adiabatic propagator technique and the tensor-network-based time-evolving matrix product operator method have proven to be efficient in studying open quantum systems with bosonic environments.
