Title: Analytical gradients and derivative couplings for the TDDFT-1D method

We derive and implement analytic gradients and derivative couplings for time-dependent density functional theory plus one double (TDDFT-1D) which is a semiempirical configuration interaction method whereby the Hamiltonian is diagonalized in a basis of all singly excited configurations and one doubly excited configuration as constructed from a set of reference Kohn–Sham orbitals. We validate the implementation by comparing against finite difference values. Furthermore, we show that our implementation can locate both optimized geometries and minimum-energy crossing points along conical seams of S1/S0 surfaces for a set of test cases.

  1. We revisit the implementation of a two-qubit entangling gate, the Mølmer-Sørensen gate, using the adiabatic Rydberg dressing paradigm. We study the implementation of rapid adiabatic passage using a two-photon transition, which does not require the use of an ultra-violet laser, and can be implemented using only amplitude modulation of one field with all laser frequencies fixed. We find that entangling gate fidelities, comparable to the one-photon excitation, are achievable with the two-photon excitation. Moreover, we address how the adiabatic dressing protocol can be used to implement entangling gates outside the regime of a perfect Rydberg blockade. We show that using adiabatic dressing we can achieve a scaling of gate fidelity set by the fundamental limits to entanglement generated by the Rydberg interactions while simultaneously retaining limited population in the doubly excited Rydberg state. This allows for fast high fidelity gates for atoms separated beyond the blockade radius.

  2. Advancing RTHS methods to readily handle multi-dimensional problems has great potential for enabling more advanced testing and synergistically using existing laboratory facilities that have the capacity for such experimentation. However, the high internal coupling between hydraulics actuators and the nonlinear kinematics escalates the complexity of actuator control and boundary condition tracking. To enable researchers in the RTHS community to develop and compare advanced control algorithms, this paper proposes a benchmark control problem for a multi-axial real-time hybrid simulation (maRTHS) and presents its definition and implementation on a steel frame excited by seismic loads at the base. The benchmark problem enables the development and validation of control techniques for tracking both translation and rotation degrees of freedom of a plant that consists of a steel frame, two hydraulic actuators, and a steel coupler with high stiffness that couples the axial displacements of the hydraulic actuators resulting in the required motion of the frame node. In this investigation, the different components of this benchmark were developed, tested, and a set of maRTHS were conducted to demonstrate its feasibility in order to provide a realistic virtual platform. To offer flexibility in the control design process, experimental data for identification purposes, finite element models for the reference structure, numerical, and physical substructure, and plant models with model uncertainties are provided. Also, a sample example of an RTHS design based on a linear quadratic Gaussian controller is included as part of a computational code package, which facilitates the exploration of the tradeoff between robustness and performance of tracking control designs. The goals of this benchmark are to: extend existing control or develop new control techniques; provide a computational tool for investigation of the challenging aspects of maRTHS; encourage a transition to multiple actuator RTHS scenarios; and make available a challenging problem for new researchers to investigate maRTHS approaches. We believe that this benchmark problem will encourage the advancing of the next-generation of controllers for more realistic RTHS methods.

  3. Abstract

    Quantum annealing (QA) is a continuous-time heuristic quantum algorithm for solving or approximately solving classical optimization problems. The algorithm uses a schedule to interpolate between a driver Hamiltonian with an easy-to-prepare ground state and a problem Hamiltonian whose ground state encodes solutions to an optimization problem. The standard implementation relies on the evolution being adiabatic: keeping the system in the instantaneous ground state with high probability and requiring a time scale inversely related to the minimum energy gap between the instantaneous ground and excited states. However, adiabatic evolution can lead to evolution times that scale exponentially with the system size, even for computationally simple problems. Here, we study whether non-adiabatic evolutions with optimized annealing schedules can bypass this exponential slowdown for one such class of problems called the frustrated ring model. For sufficiently optimized annealing schedules and system sizes of up to 39 qubits, we provide numerical evidence that we can avoid the exponential slowdown. Our work highlights the potential of highly-controllable QA to circumvent bottlenecks associated with the standard implementation of QA.

  5. Abstract

    Reliable simulations of molecules in condensed phase require the combination of an accurate quantum mechanical method for the core region, and a realistic model to describe the interaction with the environment. Additionally, this combination should not significantly increase the computational cost of the calculation compared to the corresponding in vacuo case. In this review, we describe the combination of methods based on coupled cluster (CC) theory with polarizable classical models for the environment. We use the polarizable continuum model (PCM) of solvation to discuss the equations, but we also show how the same theoretical framework can be extended to polarizable force fields. The theory is developed within the perturbation theory energy and singles‐T density (PTES) scheme, where the environmental response is computed with the CC single excitation amplitudes as an approximation for the full one‐particle reduced density. The CC‐PTES combination provides the best compromise between accuracy and computational effort for CC calculations in condensed phase, because it includes the response of the environment to the correlation density at the same computational cost of in vacuo CC. We discuss a number of numerical applications for ground and excited state properties, based on the implementation of CC‐PTES with single and double excitations (CCSD‐PTES), which show the reliability and computational efficiency of the method in reproducing experimental or full‐CC data.
