Using bosons to improve resource efficiency of quantum simulation of vibronic molecular dynamics

Henry L. Nourse, Vanessa C. Olaya-Agudelo, Ivan Kassal

Simulating chemical dynamics is computationally challenging, especially for nonadiabatic dynamics, where numerically exact classical simulations scale exponentially with system siz…

Ultracold long-range van der Waals Rydberg trimer

Mateo Londoño, Vanessa C. Olaya-Agudelo, Felipe Herrera +1

Rydberg molecules, Rydberg-atom or Rydberg-molecule, are an essential ingredient of cold molecular sciences. However, due to the richness of Rydberg-neutral interactions, new kinds…

Simulating open-system molecular dynamics on analog quantum computers

V. C. Olaya-Agudelo, B. Stewart, C. H. Valahu +6

Interactions of molecules with their environment influence the course and outcome of almost all chemical reactions. However, classical computers struggle to accurately simulate com…

Direct observation of geometric phase in dynamics around a conical intersection

Christophe H. Valahu, Vanessa C. Olaya-Agudelo, Ryan J. MacDonell +9

Conical intersections are ubiquitous in chemistry and physics, often governing processes such as light harvesting, vision, photocatalysis, and chemical reactivity. They act as funn…

Coherent collective dynamics and entanglement evolution of polar molecules on 1D lattices

Vanessa Olaya-Agudelo, Karen Rodriguez

We study a LiCs strongly-interacting molecular gas loaded into an one-dimensional optical lattice at quarter filling. The molecules are in the lowest electronic and vibrational sta…
