• Abstract: Accurate modeling of transition metal-containing compounds is of great interest due to their wide-ranging and significant applications. These systems present several challenges from an electronic structure perspective, including significant multi-reference character and many chemically-relevant orbitals. A further complication arises from the so-called double $d$-shell effect, which is known to cause a myriad of issues in the treatment of first-row transition metals with both single- and multi-reference methods. While this effect has been well documented for several decades, a comprehensive understanding of its consequences and underlying causes is still evolving. Here, we characterize the second $d$-shell effect by analyzing the information entropy of correlated wavefunctions in a periodic series of $3d$ and $4d$ transition metal molecular hydrides and oxides. These quantum information techniques provide unique insight into the nuanced electronic structure of these species, and are powerful tools for study of weak and strong correlation in the transition metal $d$ manifold.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

• 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.
