Capturing electron correlation at mean-field cost: Assessment of i-DMFT and the underlying correlation conjecture

Paul G. Graf, Florian Matz, Lexin Ding +3

Accurately treating strong electron correlation in quantum chemistry typically requires multireference wave-function methods with steep computational scaling. The recently proposed…

Chemical bonding concepts emerge naturally from maximally entangled atomic orbitals

Lexin Ding, Eduard Matito, Christian Schilling

Chemical bonding is a nonlocal phenomenon that binds atoms into molecules. Its ubiquitous presence in chemistry, however, stands in stark contrast to its ambiguous definition and t…

Refining the weighted subspace-search variational quantum eigensolver: compression of ansätze into a single pure state and optimization of weights

Cheng-Lin Hong, Luis Colmenarez, Lexin Ding +2

The weighted subspace-search variational quantum eigensolver (SSVQE) is a prominent algorithm for calculating excited-state properties of molecular quantum systems. In this work, w…

Physical Entanglement Between Localized Orbitals

Lexin Ding, Gesa Dünnweber, Christian Schilling

In [arXiv:2207.03377] the first closed formula of a faithful entanglement measure applicable to realistic electron systems has been derived. In the present work, we build on this k…

Fermionic Entanglement and Correlation

Lexin Ding

Entanglement plays a central role in numerous fields of quantum science. However, as one departs from the typical "Alice versus Bob" setting into the world of indistinguishable fer…

Quantifying Electron Entanglement Faithfully

Lexin Ding, Zoltan Zimboras, Christian Schilling

Entanglement is one of the most fascinating concepts of modern physics. In striking contrast to its abstract, mathematical foundation, its practical side is, however, remarkably un…

Comment on "Self-Consistent-Field Method for Correlated Many-Electron Systems with an Entropic Cumulant Energy"

Lexin Ding, Julia Liebert, Christian Schilling

In [Phys. Rev. Lett. 128, 013001 (2022)] a novel ground state method was proposed. It has been suggested that this -DMFT would be a method within one-particle reduced density ma…

Correlation paradox of the dissociation limit: A quantum information perspective

Lexin Ding, Christian Schilling

The interplay between electron interaction and geometry in a molecular system can lead to rather paradoxical situations. The prime example is the dissociation limit of the hydrogen…
