Latent unified smooth Hamiltonians for excited state chemistry

The paper introduces a neural network architecture that learns a latent, implicit basis representation of the electronic-state Hamiltonian, enabling a unified treatment of ground and excited states, conical intersections, and non‑adiabatic couplings. The model is trained on realistic photochemical systems—thymine and azobenzene—and accurately reproduces energies, oscillator strengths, and critical geometries such as conical intersections and excited‑state minima. It also captures Berry phase accumulation around conical intersections and can be extended to learn other operators like transition dipole moments.

Energy Accuracy Is Not Enough: A Structure-Aware Benchmark and Evaluation Protocol for Quantum Architecture Search

The paper introduces HamQASBench, a structure‑aware benchmark for quantum architecture search that includes eleven molecular Hamiltonians up to fourteen qubits, exact references, and a comprehensive evaluation protocol. The protocol combines energy accuracy, success rates, reference‑relative circuit cost, local entropy profiles for non‑degenerate targets, and state identification within degenerate ground subspaces. Experiments with five methods across four search paradigms show that energy‑only comparisons miss important differences, such as varying gate counts, distinct spin components in degenerate cases, and differing entanglement profiles, while still achieving chemical accuracy on a near‑product instance.

Scaling Density Functional Theory with Gaussian Splatting

The paper introduces Gaussian Splatting for Density Functional Theory (GS‑DFT), a method that represents molecular orbitals as a cloud of Gaussians optimized via gradient descent. GS‑DFT replaces fixed atom‑centered basis sets with an adaptive, differentiable orthogonalization and efficient two‑electron integral evaluation, achieving accuracy comparable to large conventional bases with far fewer parameters. The solver scales quadratically with cloud size, enabling simulations of up to 2,742 atoms on a single four‑GPU node at triple‑zeta precision.
