Self-Adaptive Tensor Network States with Multi-Site Correlators

Abstract

We introduce the concept of self-adaptive tensor network states (SATNS) based on multi-site correlators. The SATNS ansatz gradually extends its variational space incorporating the most important next-order correlators into the ansatz for the wave function. The selection of these correlators is guided by entanglement-entropy measures from quantum information theory. By sequentially introducing variational parameters and adjusting them to the system under study, the SATNS ansatz achieves to keep their number significantly smaller than the total number of full-configuration interaction parameters. The SATNS ansatz is studied for manganocene in its lowest-energy sextet and doublet states, the latter of which is known to be difficult to describe. It is shown that the SATNS parametrization solves the convergence issues found for previous correlator-based tensor network states.

Intrinsic Matching Frustration in Fluctuating Finite Systems

We formulate intrinsic matching frustration (IMF), a fluctuation-induced, kinetics-independent reduction in the mean capacity permitted by a prescribed matching rule. For complementary one-to-one matching, the instantaneous capacity is set by the minority population, so fluctuations produce a nonzero mean deficit even when the two populations are balanced on average. At finite size, this deficit depends on the full distribution of the population difference and is determined by its variance alone only in the Gaussian limit. Compartmentalization hides matching capacity by preventing cancellation between local imbalances of opposite sign. Fusion releases this hidden capacity monotonically under coarse graining, producing a measurable recovery of product yield following local reaction to completion.

Phonon chirality as an additive control of CISS: a symmetry-protected law

Chirality-induced spin selectivity (CISS) is usually associated with molecular handedness. The possible contribution of chiral phonons is less established. We study a helical tight-binding model in which local phonon angular momentum modulates spin-dependent nearest-neighbor hopping. Fewest-switches surface hopping calculations give the transmitted spin polarization $\mathrm{SP}=aC+b\mathrm{PH}$. Here $C$ is the molecular chirality and $\mathrm{PH}$ is the phonon chirality. A mirror symmetry reverses $C$, $\mathrm{PH}$, and $\mathrm{SP}$ simultaneously. This symmetry excludes both a chirality-independent offset and a $C\cdot\mathrm{PH}$ term. The phonon contribution can therefore enhance, cancel, or reverse the molecular CISS signal.

A fast physics-based matrix model for the impedance of a PEM fuel cell: Incorporating functionally graded catalyst layer and channel impedances

We extend a recent physics-based matrix model for calculating PEM fuel cell impedance (doi:10.1149/2754-2734/ad6ce8) to cases of low air flow stoichiometry and functionally graded cathode catalyst layers (CCLs). We demonstrate that the matrix model produces accurate spectra and is almost three orders of magnitude faster than a model based on the standard boundary-value problem solver. The physics-based matrix model can compete with equivalent circuit models for fitting experimental EIS spectra, particularly those measured from cells with functionally graded CCL.
