E3J: An Efficient and Open-Source Backend for Euclidean Equivariant Operations on GPU and TPU

Olivier Peltre, Armand Picard, Adrien Pichard +6

We present e3j, a fast Euclid-equivariance backend for geometric deep learning applications with JAX bindings for GPU and TPU. Leveraging both optimized CUDA and Pallas kernels and…

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials: Advancing Open-Source Software for Efficient and Scalable Molecular Simulation

Christoph Brunken, Titouan Cormier, Lucien Walewski +15

Machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable atomistic simulations with near ab initio accuracy at significantly reduced computational cost, but their broader adoption is…

Force-Aware Neural Tangent Kernels for Scalable and Robust Active Learning of MLIPs

Eszter Varga-Umbrich, Zachary Weller-Davies, Paul Duckworth +3

Active learning for machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) must address several challenges to be practical: scaling to large candidate pools, leveraging energy-force super…

Pretrained Model Representations as Acquisition Signals for Active Learning of MLIPs

Eszter Varga-Umbrich, Shikha Surana, Paul Duckworth +3

Training machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) for reactive chemistry is often bottlenecked by the high cost of quantum chemical labels and the scarcity of transition sta…

Integral Formulas for Vector Signal Tensor Products

Valentin Heyraud, Zachary Weller-Davies, Jules Tilly

We derive integral formulas that simplify the Vector Signal Tensor Product recently introduced by Xie et al., which generalizes the Gaunt tensor product to anti-symmetric couplings…

A one-world interpretation of quantum mechanics

Isaac Layton, Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies

The measurement problem is the issue of explaining how the objective classical world emerges from a quantum one. Here we take a different approach. We assume that there is an objec…

Quantum gravity with dynamical wave-function collapse via a classical scalar field

Zachary Weller-Davies

In hybrid classical-quantum theories, the dynamics of the classical system induce the classicality of the quantum system, meaning that such models do not necessarily require a meas…

Diffeomorphism invariant classical-quantum path integrals for Nordstrom gravity

Jonathan Oppenheim, Andrea Russo, Zachary Weller-Davies

When classical degrees of freedom and quantum degrees of freedom are consistently coupled, the former diffuse, while the latter undergo decoherence. Here, we construct a theory of…

The weak field limit of quantum matter back-reacting on classical spacetime

Isaac Layton, Jonathan Oppenheim, Andrea Russo +1

Consistent coupling of quantum and classical degrees of freedom exists so long as there is both diffusion of the classical degrees of freedom and decoherence of the quantum system.…

Gravitation from optimized computation: Einstein and beyond

Rafael Carrasco, Juan F. Pedraza, Andrew Svesko +1

A new principle in quantum gravity, dubbed spacetime complexity, states that gravitational physics emerges from spacetime seeking to optimize the computational cost of its quantum…

Covariant path integrals for quantum fields back-reacting on classical space-time

Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies

We introduce configuration space path integrals for quantum fields interacting with classical fields. We show that this can be done consistently by proving that the dynamics are co…

Path integrals for classical-quantum dynamics

Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies

Consistent dynamics which couples classical and quantum degrees of freedom exists. This dynamics is linear in the hybrid state, completely positive and trace preserving. Starting f…

A healthier semi-classical dynamics

Isaac Layton, Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies

We study the back-reaction of quantum systems onto classical ones. Taking the starting point that semi-classical physics should be described at all times by a point in classical ph…

Computing spacetime

Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1

Inspired by the universality of computation, we advocate for a principle of spacetime complexity, where gravity arises as a consequence of spacetime optimizing the computational co…

Gravitationally induced decoherence vs space-time diffusion: testing the quantum nature of gravity

Jonathan Oppenheim, Carlo Sparaciari, Barbara Šoda +1

We consider two interacting systems when one is treated classically while the other system remains quantum. Consistent dynamics of this coupling has been shown to exist, and explor…

The two classes of hybrid classical-quantum dynamics

Jonathan Oppenheim, Carlo Sparaciari, Barbara Šoda +1

Coupling between quantum and classical systems is consistent, provided the evolution is linear in the state space, preserves the split of systems into quantum and classical degrees…

Sewing spacetime with Lorentzian threads: complexity and the emergence of time in quantum gravity

Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1

Holographic entanglement entropy was recently recast in terms of Riemannian flows or 'bit threads'. We consider the Lorentzian analog to reformulate the 'complexity=volume' conject…

Lorentzian threads as 'gatelines' and holographic complexity

Juan F. Pedraza, Andrea Russo, Andrew Svesko +1

The continuous min flow-max cut principle is used to reformulate the 'complexity=volume' conjecture using Lorentzian flows -- divergenceless norm-bounded timelike vector fields who…

The constraints of post-quantum classical gravity

Jonathan Oppenheim, Zachary Weller-Davies

We study a class of theories in which space-time is treated classically, while interacting with quantum fields. These circumvent various no-go theorems and the pathologies of semi-…

Objective trajectories in hybrid classical-quantum dynamics

Jonathan Oppenheim, Carlo Sparaciari, Barbara Šoda +1

Consistent dynamics which couples classical and quantum degrees of freedom exists, provided it is stochastic. This dynamics is linear in the hybrid state, completely positive and t…
