Combined Extended Rejoinder to "Extended Comment on "One-Range Addition Theorems for Coulomb Interaction Potential and Its Derivatives" by I. I. Guseinov (Chem. Phys., Vol. 309 (2005), pp. 209-213)"

Abstract

This article is a thorough critique to the Weniger's comments made to our papers published in prestigious journals in the recent years. A detailed and critical examination of the arguments that led to the suggested comment by Weniger reveals some serious flaws. In our published papers we have shown that the unsymmetrical and symmetrical one-range addition theorems for Slater type orbitals, Coulomb-Yukawa like correlated interaction potentials (CIPs) and their derivatives are derived from the expansions in terms of -ETOs that are complete and orthonormal sets of exponential type orbitals in corresponding Hilbert spaces, where The concrete criticism raised in Weniger's comment against our papers actually touches a very minor aspect of the works that are not relevant at all for the conclusions, which are made. As can be seen from our papers, all of the formulas for different kinds of multicenter integrals over Slater type orbitals with integer and noninteger principal quantum numbers obtained by the use of unsymmetrical and symmetrical one-range addition theorems were tested by computer calculations. We reject the Weniger's personal views about papers published by Guseinov and his coworkers from 1978 to 2006 and respectable referees on one-range addition theorems and multicenter integrals. All claims of inconsistencies and flaws in the theoretical framework are rejected as unfounded. This rejoinder paper contains all of the answers to Weniger's comments.

Benchmarking Proton Tunneling Splittings with a Wavefunction-Based Double-Well Model: Application to the Formic Acid Dimer

Proton tunneling across hydrogen bonds is a fundamental quantum effect with implications for spectroscopy, catalysis, and biomolecular stability. While state-of-the-art instanton and path-integral methods provide accurate multidimensional tunneling splittings, simplified one-dimensional models remain valuable as conceptual and benchmarking tools. Here we develop a wavefunction-based framework for tunneling splittings using a Cornell-type double-well potential and apply it as a benchmark for hydrogen-bond tunneling. Analytical WKB estimates and numerical finite-difference solutions are compared across a range of barrier parameters, showing consistent agreement. As a test case, we map the formic acid dimer (FAD) barrier onto a quartic double-well model parameterized to reproduce the reported barrier height of $V_b \\approx 2848~\\text{cm}^{-1}$. The resulting tunneling splitting of about $0.037~\\text{cm}^{-1}$ matches the reduced-dimensional calculations of Qu and Bowman. The close agreement between numerical and semiclassical results highlights the pedagogical and diagnostic value of one-dimensional models, while comparison with molecular benchmarks clarifies their limitations relative to full multidimensional quantum treatments.

A Physics-Regularized Neural Network and Kirchhoff Markov Random Field Framework for Inferring Internal Electrochemical States from Operando Spectromicroscopy

Quantitative understanding of coupled reaction-transport dynamics in lithium-ion battery (LIB) composite electrodes is limited by the inaccessibility of key internal electrochemical states. Here we present a physics-integrated, data-driven framework to reconstruct latent states from operando microscopic X-ray absorption fine structure ($μ$ -XAFS) hyperspectral data of LIB cathodes. Normalized-local-lithium-stoichiometry (NLLS) maps derived from Co K-edge spectra are refined using a physics-regularized neural network that enforces spatial continuity and current conservation to resolve ambiguities in the weak-sensitivity region. The reconstructed NLLS dynamics are embedded in a Kirchhoff-based Markov random field incorporating Kirchhoff's laws, Ohm's law, and Butler-Volmer kinetics to infer interfacial current density, ionic current, electrolyte potential, and effective ionic conductivity. Application to electrodes with differential initial electrolyte concentrations reveals distinct reaction-propagation modes that are consistent with a mechanism involving the non-monotonic concentration dependence of electrolyte conductivity. The inferred electrolyte concentration profiles qualitatively resemble the spatially extended concentration changes observed by independent operando X-ray transmission imaging using a 1 M LiAsF$_6$ electrolyte.

Intracavity Photon Statistics from Correlated Molecular Electronic Structure

Quantum optics characterizes light through photon correlations, but ab initio cavity quantum electrodynamics (QED) has only calculated raw field moments at present. In this study, intracavity photon statistics of cavity-coupled molecules are computed from QED coupled-cluster (QED-CCSD-22) densities and validated against exact diagonalization of the Pauli-Fierz Hamiltonian. A change of coordinate origin or dipole convention displaces the ground state coherently, so second-order and higher cumulants of the cavity field are well defined even for molecular ions. The photon subsystem of QED Hartree-Fock is exactly coherent, so the invariant statistics measure electron-photon correlation. The field fluctuations are super-Poissonian, and their degree of second-order coherence is set by the cavity frequency rather than by the coupling strength, falling from 18.5 to 4.9 for H2 as the cavity is detuned from 5 to 20 eV. A parity selection rule makes the sign of the third cumulant a probe of the orientation of the molecular charge asymmetry along the cavity polarization.
