• Title: Non-Linear Correlation Functions and Zero-Point Energy Flow in Mixed Quantum-Classical Semiclassical Dynamics
• Authors: Shreyas Malpathak and Nandini Ananth
• Abstract summary: Mixed Quantum Classical (MQC)-IVR is a recently introduced semiclassical framework that allows for selective quantization of the modes of a complex system. In the quantum limit, MQC reproduces the semiclassical Double Herman-Kluk results, accurately capturing nuclear quantum coherences and zero-point energy. However, in the classical limit, while MQC mimics the Husimi-IVR for real-time correlation functions with linear operators, it is significantly less accurate for non-linear correlation functions with errors even at time zero.

• Abstract: Mixed Quantum Classical (MQC)-IVR is a recently introduced semiclassical framework that allows for selective quantization of the modes of a complex system. In the quantum limit, MQC reproduces the semiclassical Double Herman-Kluk IVR results, accurately capturing nuclear quantum coherences and conserving zero-point energy. However, in the classical limit, while MQC mimics the Husimi-IVR for real-time correlation functions with linear operators, it is significantly less accurate for non-linear correlation functions with errors even at time zero. Here, we identify the origin of this discrepancy in the MQC formulation and propose a modification. We analytically show that the modified MQC approach is exact for all correlation functions at time zero, and in a study of zero-point energy (ZPE) flow, we numerically demonstrate that it correctly obtains the quantum and classical limits as a function of time. Interestingly, while classical-limit MQC simulations show the expected, unphysical ZPE leakage, we find it is possible to predict and even modify the direction of ZPE flow through selective quantization of the system, with the quantum-limit modes accepting energy additions but preserving the minimum quantum mechanically required energy.

  We introduce the mapping approach to surface hopping (MASH) to address the limitations of traditional MQC methods. We incorporate a quantum treatment of the cavity mode, moving beyond the classical approximations often employed in previous studies. Results for a single-molecule model of vibrational polaritonic chemistry show that combining MASH with a quantum cavity mode yields the most accurate rates.

We achieve a substantial reduction in the ground-state error with just six variational parameters and a duration within the device coherence times.

  "Wasserstein Quantum Monte Carlo" (WQMC) uses the gradient flow induced by the Wasserstein metric, rather than Fisher-Rao metric, and corresponds to transporting the probability mass, rather than teleporting it. We demonstrate empirically that the dynamics of WQMC results in faster convergence to the ground state of molecular systems.

We find that the quantum simulator results can indeed be explained by the KZM for open-system quantum dynamics with phase-flip errors.
