• Abstract: We introduce QERNEL, a foundational neural wavefunction that variationally solves families of parameterized many-electron Hamiltonians and captures their ground states throughout parameter space within a single model. QERNEL combines FiLM-based parameter conditioning with scale-efficient architectural elements -- mixture of experts and grouped-query attention, substantially improving expressivity at low computational cost. We apply QERNEL to interacting electrons in semiconductor moiré heterobilayers, training a single weight-shared model for systems of up to 150 electrons. By solving the many-electron Schrödinger equation conditioned on moiré potential depth, QERNEL captures both quantum liquid and crystal states and discovers the sharp phase transition between them, marked by abrupt changes in interaction energy and charge density. Our work establishes a foundation model for moiré quantum materials and a scalable architecture toward a Large Electron Model for solids.

  We study the melting of charge-density waves in a Holstein model after a sudden switch-on of the electronic hopping. A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

• Coulomb interaction-driven entanglement of electrons on helium [0.0]
  We theoretically investigate the generation of emphmotional entanglement between two electrons via their unscreened Coulomb interaction. We compute the motional energy spectra of the electrons, as well as their entanglement, by diagonalizing the model Hamiltonian with respect to a single-particle Hartree product basis. In particular, the theoretical tools developed here can be used for fine tuning and optimization of control parameters in future experiments with electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium or solid neon.

  We develop a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm suitable for this type of correlated systems. This hybrid method tackles with arbitrarily strong electron-phonon coupling without increasing the number of required qubits and quantum gates. We benchmark the new method by applying it to the paradigmatic Hubbard-Holstein model at half filling, and show that it correctly captures the competition between charge density wave and antiferromagnetic phases.

  We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
