Clifford-efficient sparse state preparation for molecular wavefunctions

Yingrong Chen, Nathan A. Baker, Rushi Gong +7

Sparse quantum state preparation concerns an -qubit target state that is a superposition of only computational basis states. Existing approaches exploit this sparsit…

Achieving accurate entropy and melting point by ab initio molecular dynamics and zentropy theory: Application to fluoride and chloride molten salts

Shun-Li Shang, Nigel L. E. Hew, Rushi Gong +6

We have recently developed a breakthrough methodology for rapidly computing entropy in both solids and liquids by integrating a multiscale entropy approach (known as zentropy theor…

Thermodynamic modeling of the LiCl-KCl-LaCl system with Bayesian model selection and uncertainty quantification

Rushi Gong, Shun-Li Shang, Vitaliy G. Goncharov +5

Chloride molten salts are increasingly used in pyroprocessing techniques for the separation of lanthanides. Understanding thermodynamic properties of these salts is essential to pr…

Molecular interaction volume model of mixing enthalpy for molten salt system: An integrated calorimetry-model case study of LaCl-(LiCl-KCl)

Vitaliy G. Goncharov, William Smith, Jiahong Li +11

Calorimetric determination of enthalpies of mixing (H) of multicomponent molten salts often employs empirical models that lack parameters with clear physical interp…
