Light-Induced Quantum Self-Trapping of Vibrational Excitons in an Optical Cavity

Vincent Pouthier, Saad Yalouz

In an optical cavity, strong light--matter coupling between excitons and photons has been widely reported as a way to enhance energy delocalization through spatially extended polar…

Orthogonally Constrained CASSCF Framework: Newton-Raphson Orbital Optimization and Nuclear Gradients

Loris Delafosse, Vincent Robert, Saad Yalouz

In a recent work, we introduced the foundations of an orthogonally constrained complete active space self-consistent field (OC-CASSCF) framework that produces state-specific molecu…

A State-Specific Iterative Decoupling Scheme Based on Perturbation Theory for Low-Energy Electronic States

Oussama Bindech, Saad yalouz, Vincent Robert

In this work, we introduce a selective and scalable extension of the multi-step Rayleigh-Schrodinger and Brillouin-Wigner perturbative scheme (see arXiv:2408.16505), designed to ef…

Ab Initio Polaritonic Chemistry on Diverse Quantum Computing Platforms: Qubit, Qudit, and Hybrid Qubit-Qumode Architectures

Even Chiari, Wafa Makhlouf, Lucie Pepe +5

Trying to export ab initio polaritonic chemistry onto emerging quantum computers raises fundamental questions. A central one is how to efficiently represent both fermionic and boso…

Defect-Mediated Pairing and Dissociation of Strongly Correlated Electrons in Low Dimensional Lattices: The Quantum Taxi Effect

Vincent Pouthier, Saad Yalouz

We study the quantum dynamics of a strongly correlated electron pair in a one-dimensional lattice, focusing on the occurrence of local dissociation/pairing mechanisms induced by a…

Transformation-free generation of a quasi-diabatic representation from the state-average orbital-optimized variational quantum eigensolver

Silvie Illésová, Martin Beseda, Saad Yalouz +2

In the present work, we examine how the recent quantum-computing algorithm known as the state-average orbital-optimized variational quantum eigensolver (SA-OO-VQE), viewed within t…
