Absorbing Many-Body Correlations into Core-Optimized Orbitals

Hao Zhang, Matthew Otten

The cost of simulating quantum many-body systems - on classical or quantum hardware - scales with the number of variational parameters, so progress at fixed computational budget hi…

Quantized SO(3)-Equivariant Graph Neural Networks for Efficient Molecular Property Prediction

Haoyu Zhou, Ping Xue, Hao Zhang +1

Deploying 3D graph neural networks (GNNs) that are equivariant to 3D rotations (the group SO(3)) on edge devices is challenging due to their high computational cost. This paper add…

Direct imaging of a Berry curvature nematic state in a spin-compensated magnet

Weihang Lu, Camron Farhang, Yuchuan Yao +6

Density waves conventionally describe the periodic modulation of charge or spin, yet the spatial modulation of electronic geometry has remained elusive. Here, we report subtle micr…

High-resolution wide-field magnetic imaging with sparse sampling using nitrogen-vacancy centers

Keqing Liu, Jiazhao Tian, Bokun Duan +7

Nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond enable quantitative magnetic imaging, yet practical implementations must balance spatial resolution against acquisition time (and thus per-…
