• Abstract: Ehrenfest dynamics is a useful approximation for ab initio mixed quantum-classical molecular dynamics that can treat electronically nonadiabatic effects. Although a severe approximation to the exact solution of the molecular time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation, Ehrenfest dynamics is symplectic, time-reversible, and conserves exactly the total molecular energy as well as the norm of the electronic wavefunction. Here, we surpass apparent complications due to the coupling of classical nuclear and quantum electronic motions and present efficient geometric integrators for "representation-free" Ehrenfest dynamics, which do not rely on a diabatic or adiabatic representation of electronic states and are of arbitrary even orders of accuracy in the time step. These numerical integrators, obtained by symmetrically composing the second-order splitting method and exactly solving the kinetic and potential propagation steps, are norm-conserving, symplectic, and time-reversible regardless of the time step used. Using a nonadiabatic simulation in the region of a conical intersection as an example, we demonstrate that these integrators preserve the geometric properties exactly and, if highly accurate solutions are desired, can be even more efficient than the most popular non-geometric integrators.

  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.

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.
