- Authors: Darryl D. Holm, Jonathan I. Rawlinson, Cesare Tronci
- Abstract summary: We introduce a regularized nuclear Bohm potential admitting solutions comprising a train of $delta$-functions.
The bohmion method inherits all the basic conservation laws from its underlying variational structure and captures electronic decoherence.
In the present case of study, we show that the new method accurately reproduces both electronic decoherence and nuclear population dynamics.

- Abstract: Starting with the exact factorization of the molecular wavefunction, this
paper presents the results from the numerical implementation in nonadiabatic
molecular dynamics of the recently proposed bohmion method. Within the context
of quantum hydrodynamics, we introduce a regularized nuclear Bohm potential
admitting solutions comprising a train of $\delta$-functions which provide a
finite-dimensional sampling of the hydrodynamic flow paths. The bohmion method
inherits all the basic conservation laws from its underlying variational
structure and captures electronic decoherence. After reviewing the general
theory, the method is applied to the well-known Tully models, which are used
here as benchmark problems. In the present case of study, we show that the new
method accurately reproduces both electronic decoherence and nuclear population
dynamics.

Neural wave functions accomplished unprecedented accuracies in approximating the ground state of many-electron systems, though at a high computational cost.
Recent works proposed amortizing the cost by learning generalized wave functions across different structures and compounds instead of solving each problem independently.
This work tackles the problem by defining overparametrized, fully learnable neural wave functions suitable for generalization across molecules.

Inferring the parameters of a model based on experimental observations is central to the scientific method.
A particularly challenging setting is when the model is strongly indeterminate, i.e., when distinct sets of parameters yield identical observations.
We present a method for cracking such indeterminacy by exploiting additional information conveyed by an auxiliary set of observations sharing global parameters.
