Substitution effects on stability (ΔΕ) of novel singlet and triplet forms of bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-7-silylenes are compared and contrasted, at B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory. All species appear as ground state minima on their energy surface, for showing no negative force constant. Singlets (1-24) are ground state and more stable than their corresponding triplets (1-24). The most stable scrutinized silylenes appear to be 2,3-disilabicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-7-silylene (9) for showing the highest value of ΔE. This stability can be related to our imposed topology and β-silicon effect. The band gaps (ΔΕ) show the same trend as ΔE and the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energies. Also, the electrophilicity appears inverse correlation with our results of ΔΕ. The purpose of the present work was to assess the influence of 1 to 6 silicon substitutions on the stability, band gaps, nucleophilicity, electrophilicity, and proton affinity. Finally, our investigation introduces novel silylenes with possible applications in chemistry such as semiconductors, cumulated multidentate ligands, etc. Synopsis Substitution effects on stability (ΔΕ) of novel singlet (s) and triplet (t) forms of bicyclo[2.2.1]hepta-7-silylenes are compared and contrasted, at B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory.

Finally, this new generation has the intrinsic potential to form accumulated multidentate ligands.

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.

Although quantum mechanics underpins the microscopic behavior of all materials, its effects are often obscured at the macroscopic level by thermal fluctuations. A notable exception is a zero-temperature phase transition, where scaling laws emerge entirely due to quantum correlations over a diverging length scale. The accurate description of such transitions is challenging for classical simulation methods of quantum systems, and is a natural application space for quantum simulation.

We introduce a change of perspective on tensor network states that is defined by the computational graph of the contraction of an amplitude. The resulting class of states, which we refer to as tensor network functions, inherit the conceptual advantages of tensor network states while removing computational restrictions arising from the need to converge approximate contractions. We use tensor network functions to compute strict variational estimates of the energy on loopy graphs, analyze their expressive power for ground states, show that we can capture aspects of volume law time evolution, and provide a mapping of general feed-forward neural nets onto efficient tensor network functions.

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.
