Molecular hydrogen isotope separation by a graphdiyne membrane: a quantum-mechanical study

2022-12-22T11:28:02+01:00Tags: , , , |

Authors: Garcia-Arroyo, Esther; Campos-Martinez, Jose; Bartolomei, Massimiliano; Pirani, Fernando; Hernandez, Marta I. Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/07/06 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp01044e Abstract: Graphdiyne (GDY) has emerged as a very promising two-dimensional (2D) membrane for gas separation technologies. One of the most challenging goals is the separation of deuterium (D-2) and tritium (T-2) from a [...]

QUANTUM COMPUTING Optimal simulation of quantum dynamics

2022-12-22T11:25:52+01:00Tags: , |

Authors: Tagliacozzo, Luca Journal: NATURE PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/08/08 DOI: 10.1038/s41567-022-01696-8 Abstract: Tensor networks are mathematical structures that efficiently compress the data required to describe quantum systems. An algorithm for the optimal simulation of quantum dynamics based on tensor networks has now been implemented on a trapped-ion processor.

The role of highly vibrationally excited H-2 initiating the nitrogen chemistry Quantum study and 3 sigma – detection of NH emission in the Orion Bar PDR

2022-12-22T11:21:50+01:00Tags: |

Authors: Goicoechea, Javier R.; Roncero, Octavio Journal: ASTRONOMY & ASTROPHYSICS Publication date: 2022/08/31 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202243884 Abstract: The formation of hydrides by gas-phase reactions between H-2 and a heavy element atom is a very selective process. Reactions with ground-state neutral carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur atoms are very endoergic and have high energy barriers because the [...]

Delving into guest-free and He-filled sI and sII clathrate hydrates: a first-principles computational study

2022-09-19T17:24:47+02:00Tags: , , , |

Authors: Yanes-Rodríguez, R.; Cabrera-Ramírez, A.; Prosmiti, R. Journal: PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY CHEMICAL PHYSICS Publication date: 2022/06/01 DOI: 10.1039/d2cp00701k Abstract: The dynamics of the formation of a specific clathrate hydrate as well as its thermodynamic transitions depend on the interactions between the trapped molecules and the host water lattice. The molecular-level understanding of the different underlying processes [...]

Atom scattering as a probe of the surface electron-phonon interaction at conducting surfaces

Authors: Manson, J. R.; Benedek, G.; Miret-Artés, S. Journal: SURFACE SCIENCE REPORTS Publication date: 2022/05/01 DOI: 10.1016/j.surfrep.2022.100552 Abstract: An atomic projectile colliding with a surface at kinetic energies in the thermal or hyperthermal range interacts with and is reflected by the electronic density well in front of the first layer of target atoms, and it [...]

Harnessing nonadiabatic excitations promoted by a quantum critical point: Quantum battery and spin squeezing

2022-09-19T17:23:42+02:00Tags: , |

Authors: Abah, O.; De Chiara, G.; Paternostro, M.; Puebla, R. Journal: PHYSICAL REVIEW RESEARCH Publication date: 2022/04/22 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevResearch.4.L022017 Abstract: Crossing a quantum critical point in finite time challenges the adiabatic condition due to the closing of the energy gap, which ultimately results in the formation of excitations. Such nonadiabatic excitations are typically deemed detrimental [...]

Unraveling the Origin of Symmetry Breaking in H2O@C-60 Endofullerene Through Quantum Computations
