• Title: The bohmion method in nonadiabatic quantum hydrodynamics
• 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.

• Revisiting the Bohr Model of the Atom through Brownian Motion of the Electron [0.0]
  We refine the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom by describing the motion of the electron through a single real-valued process. Our approach derives the electron's equation of motion from the Fokker-Planck equation while ensuring the particle always maintains a definite - albeit random - position. We show that these equations reproduce the correct average radial and angular quantum kinetic, matching operator-based predictions.

  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.

For pure states this is accomplished with a quantum hydrodynamical description of the nuclear dynamics and electronic density operators tied to the fluid elements. The theory presented here bridges exact quantum dynamics with several mixed quantum-classical approaches currently in use to tackle non-adiabatic molecular problems.

  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.
