Spatial degeneracy of electronic states closely connects spin-orbit coupling and vibronic coupling, which together determine properties of materials, especially heavy element compounds. Accurate description of those materials entails accurate mathematical formulas for spin-orbit vibronic Hamiltonians. For the first time ever, we in this work derive the Hamiltonian formalism to describe all spin-orbit Jahn-Teller and pseudo-Jahn-Teller vibronic problems in all axial symmetries. The conventional one-electron approximation of spin-orbit coupling, which was the foundation of all previous studies in this field, is not involved in the present work. Actually, the present formalism is applicable to all time-reversal symmetric hermitian Hamiltonian that has a Rank-1 dependence on the spin operator, without any restriction on the type and the number of term symbols and vibrational modes.

Gauge and unitary transformations in multipolar quantum optics.

Multipolar quantum optics deals with the interaction of light with matter as a many-body bound system of charged particles where the coupling to electromagnetic fields is in terms of the multipolar electric polarization and magnetization. We describe two transformations applied to the conventional non-relativistic formalism, namely a gauge transformation applied directly to the fields at the Lagrangian stage and a unitary transformation applied to the old Hamiltonian. We show how such transformations lead to the same Power-Zienau-Woolley (PZW) formulation of the quantum electrodynamics (QED) of an overall electrically neutral many-body bound system of charges, including the internal motion as well as the gross dynamics of the centre of mass.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent advances in scattering amplitudes and worldline-based methods have improved our ability to calculate gravitational two-body scattering observables, important for understanding the weak-field high-velocity dynamics of black holes.
  • The new inspiral-merger-ringdown waveform model SEOBNR-PM, designed for nonprecessing spinning black holes, builds on the SEOBNRv5 model used by LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA, incorporating a new effective-one-body Hamiltonian based on perturbative post-Minkowskian expansion.
  • SEOBNR-PM shows excellent performance, with lower median mismatch against numerical relativity simulations and better agreement in binding energy compared to SEOBNRv5, despite the latter being more calibrated.

We propose two thermodynamically consistent inertial spin models generalizing the inertial spin model for the ensemble of mechanical particles with spin. For the collective dynamics modeling consistent with an entropy principle, we use two modeling ideas based on Hamiltonian formulation and flocking formalism for the coupling of the inertial spin model and temperatures introduced by Ha and Ruggeri [Arch. Ration.

Conformational Control of σ-Interference Effects in the Conductance of Permethylated Oligosilanes.

As silicon-based integrated circuits continue to shrink, their molecular characteristics become more pronounced. However, the structure-property relationship of silicon-based molecular junctions remains to be elucidated. Here, an intuitive explanation of the effects of backbone dihedral angles on transport properties in permethylated oligosilanes is presented employing the Ladder C model Hamiltonian combined with nonequilibrium Green's function formalism.

Intrinsically disordered proteins and regions (IDPs) are involved in vital biological processes. To understand the IDP function, often controlled by conformation, we need to find the link between sequence and conformation. We decode this link by integrating theory, simulation, and machine learning (ML) where sequence-dependent electrostatics is modeled analytically while nonelectrostatic interaction is extracted from simulations for many sequences and subsequently trained using ML.
