• Abstract: We used analytical methods to study the interaction of electrons with shunted models consisting of a rectangular, triangular, or delta function. potential barrier in series with a pre-barrier region at zero potential. In each model the shunted boundary conditions cause the matrix equation to have only zeros in the right-hand column vector. Thus, the determinant for each matrix must be zero for a non-trivial solution. The determinant for each model contains only the parameters (e.g. the length of the shunt, the length and height of the barrier, and the electron energy). Thus, the complete set of solutions for each model is obtained by using algebra to determine all of the points in the parameter space, and then to calculate the coefficients for each model. Any path from one point to another in the parameter space corresponds to a possible history for the operation of the model. In prototypes the shunts could be filaments of certain metals that provide quasi-coherent electron transport over mean-free paths of tens of nm. Quasi-static simulations of the time-independent Schrodinger equation suggest that a device with a size of 100 nm could operate at frequencies up to 1,000 THz.

  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.

  We model closed quantum nanocircuits shunted by a beryllium filament for quasi-coherent electron transport over mean-free paths as great as 68 nm. Each model has four parameters: (1) the barrier length, (2) the height and shape of the barrier, (3) the length of the pre-barrier, and (4) the electron energy.

  We introduce probabilistic unrolling, a method that combines Monte Carlo sampling with iterative linear solvers to circumvent matrix inversions. Our theoretical analyses reveal that unrolling and backpropagation through the iterations of the solver can accelerate gradient estimation for maximum likelihood estimation. In experiments on simulated and real data, we demonstrate that probabilistic unrolling learns latent Gaussian models up to an order of magnitude faster than gradient EM, with minimal losses in model performance.

  We propose permutation-equivariant architectures, on which a determinant Slater is applied to induce antisymmetry. FermiNet is proved to have universal approximation capability with a single determinant, namely, it suffices to represent any antisymmetric function. We substitute the Slater with a pairwise antisymmetry construction, which is easy to implement and can reduce the computational cost to $O(N2)$.

  This paper uses techniques from Random Matrix Theory to find the ideal training-testing data split for a simple linear regression. It defines "ideal" as satisfying the integrity metric, i.e. the empirical model error is the actual measurement noise. This paper is the first to solve for the training and test size for any model in a way that is truly optimal.

• Possibility of coherent electron transport in a nanoscale circuit [0.0]
  In some nanoscale circuits, the electron mean-free path may be as long as 68 nm in metals. We consider the use of single-crystal wires, and include a tunneling junction to focus and collimate the electrons near the axis. Our simulations suggest that, in addition to the incoherent phenomena, there are extremely sharply-defined coherent modes in nanoscale circuits.
