Abstract: We realize arbitrary waveform-based control of spin-selective recombination reactions of radical pairs in the low magnetic field regime. To this end, we extend the Gradient Ascent Pulse Engineering (GRAPE) paradigm to allow for optimizing reaction yields. This overcomes drawbacks of previously suggested time-local optimization approaches for the reaction control of radical pairs, which were limited to high biasing fields. We demonstrate how efficient time-global optimization of the recombination yields can be realized by gradient based methods augmented by time-blocking, sparse sampling of the yield, and evaluation of the central single time-step propagators and their Fr\'echet derivatives using iterated Trotter-Suzuki splittings. Results are shown for both a toy model, previously used to demonstrate coherent control of radical pair reactions in the simpler high-field scenario, and furthermore for a realistic exciplex-forming donor-acceptor system comprising 16 nuclear spins. This raises prospects for the spin-control of actual radical pair systems in ambient magnetic fields, by suppressing or boosting radical reaction yields using purpose-specific radio-frequency waveforms, paving the way for reaction-yield-dependent quantum magnetometry and potentially applications of quantum control to biochemical radical pair reactions. We demonstrate the latter aspect for two radical pairs implicated in quantum biology.

A Roadmap for Simulating Chemical Dynamics on a Parametrically Driven Bosonic Quantum Device [32.65699367892846]
We investigate the feasibility of simulating reaction dynamics using a bosonic superconducting Kerr-cat device. This approach provides control over parameters defining the double-well free energy profile, as well as external factors like temperature and the coupling strength between the reaction coordinate and the thermal bath of non-reactive degrees of freedom.

Sensing of magnetic field effects in radical-pair reactions using a quantum sensor [50.591267188664666]
Magnetic field effects (MFE) in certain chemical reactions have been well established in the last five decades. We employ elaborate and realistic models of radical-pairs, considering its coupling to the local spin environment and the sensor. For two model systems, we derive signals of MFE detectable even in the weak coupling regime between radical-pair and NV quantum sensor.

Floquet analysis of extended Rabi models based on high-frequency expansion [4.825076503537852]
We transform two kinds of extended quantum Rabi model, anisotropic Rabi model and asymmetric Rabi model, into rotating frame. For anisotropic Rabi model, the quasi energy fits well with the numerical results even when the rotating-wave coupling is in the deep-strong coupling regime. For asymmetric Rabi model, the external bias field which breaks the parity symmetry of total excitation number tends to cluster the upper and lower branches into two bundles.

Self-Improved Retrosynthetic Planning [66.5397931294144]
Retrosynthetic planning is a fundamental problem in chemistry for finding a pathway of reactions to synthesize a target molecule. Recent search algorithms have shown promising results for solving this problem by using deep neural networks (DNNs) We propose an end-to-end framework for directly training the DNNs towards generating reaction pathways with the desirable properties.

Visualizing spinon Fermi surfaces with time-dependent spectroscopy [62.997667081978825]
We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.

Chemical tuning of spin clock transitions in molecular monomers based on nuclear spin-free Ni(II) [52.259804540075514]
We report the existence of a sizeable quantum tunnelling splitting between the two lowest electronic spin levels of mononuclear Ni complexes. The level anti-crossing, or magnetic clock transition, associated with this gap has been directly monitored by heat capacity experiments. The comparison of these results with those obtained for a Co derivative, for which tunnelling is forbidden by symmetry, shows that the clock transition leads to an effective suppression of intermolecular spin-spin interactions.

Spin relaxation in radical pairs from the stochastic Schr\"odinger equation [0.0]
We show that the Schr"odinger equation (SSE) provides an ideal way to simulate the quantum mechanical spin dynamics of radical pairs. Electron spin relaxation effects arising from fluctuations in the spinjima Hamiltonian are included in this approach. Results are used to assess the accuracy of a recently-proposed combination of Naka-Zwanzig theory for the spin relaxation and Schulten-Wolynes theory for the spin dynamics.
