Direct imaging of enantiomer-specific orientation dynamics in unidirectionally rotating chiral molecules

Kenta Mizuse, Ilia Tutunnikov, Long Xu +7

Selectively controlling the dynamics of molecular enantiomers underlies advances across chemistry, biology, and physics, yet direct imaging of enantiomer-specific motion has so far…

Equivalence between exponential concentration in quantum machine learning kernels and barren plateaus in variational algorithms

Pranav Kairon, Jonas Jäger, Jonas Jäger +1

We formalize a rigorous connection between barren plateaus (BP) in variational quantum algorithms and exponential concentration of quantum kernels for machine learning. Our results…

Rigorous quantum calculations for atom-molecule chemical reactions in electric fields: from single to multiple partial wave regimes

Timur V. Tscherbul, Roman V. Krems

We present an efficient method for rigorous quantum calculations of cross sections for atom-molecule reactive scattering in the presence of a dc electric field. The wavefunction of…
