Abstract

The double electron attachment (DEA) and double ionization potential (DIP) equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOMCC) methods including up to 4-particle-2-hole (4$p$-2$h$) and 4-hole-2-particle (4$h$-2$p$) excitations on top of coupled-cluster singles, doubles, and triples (CCSDT), denoted DEA-EOMCCSDT(4$p$-2$h$) and DIP-EOMCCSDT(4$h$-2$p$), have been efficiently implemented in full and active-space forms. The resulting methods are applied to determine the ground and low-lying excited states of methylene, the singlet-triplet gap of trimethylenemethane, and the lowest singlet and triplet DIPs of 23 atoms and molecules. In all cases considered, the active-space DEA/DIP-EOMCC approaches recover the highly accurate parent DEA-EOMCCSDT(4$p$-2$h$)/DIP-EOMCCSDT(4$h$-2$p$) data at small fractions of the computational costs.

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.
