• Title: Calculating eigenvalues and eigenvectors of parameter-dependent hamiltonians using an adaptative wave operator method
• Authors: Arnaud Leclerc and Georges Jolicard
• Abstract summary: We consider a hamiltonian which depends on external adjustable or adiabatic parameters, using adaptative projectors which follow the successive eigenspaces when the adjustable parameters are modified. An iterative algorithm is derived and tested through comparisons with a standard wave operator algorithm using a fixed active space and with a standard block-Davidson method. A more realistic application to molecular photodissociation under intense laser fields with varying intensity or frequency is also presented.

• Abstract: We propose a wave operator method to calculate eigenvalues and eigenvectors of large parameter-dependent matrices, using an adaptative active subspace. We consider a hamiltonian which depends on external adjustable or adiabatic parameters, using adaptative projectors which follow the successive eigenspaces when the adjustable parameters are modified. The method can also handle non-hermitian hamiltonians. An iterative algorithm is derived and tested through comparisons with a standard wave operator algorithm using a fixed active space and with a standard block-Davidson method. The proposed approach is competitive, it converges within a few dozen iterations at constant memory cost. We first illustrate the abilities of the method on a 4-D coupled oscillator model hamiltonian. A more realistic application to molecular photodissociation under intense laser fields with varying intensity or frequency is also presented. Maps of photodissociation resonances of H${}_2^+$ in the vicinity of exceptional points are calculated as an illustrative example.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.

  We provide a framework that allows different simulation methods to be hybridized and thereby improve performance for interaction picture simulations. Physical applications of these hybridized methods yield a gate complexity scaling as $log2 Lambda$ in the electric cutoff. For the general problem of Hamiltonian simulation subject to dynamical constraints, these methods yield a query complexity independent of the penalty parameter $lambda$ used to impose an energy cost.
