A quantum computing approach to efficiently simulating correlated materials using impurity models and dynamical mean field theory
The accurate theoretical description of materials with strongly correlated electrons is a formidable challenge, at the forefront of condensed matter physics and computational chemistry alike, and it i...

you know someone works in quantum physics when they know the decimal form of 1/sqrt(2)

update: I will Murder Everyone who Won’t Share their Code on Covariance Matrices
physics higher powers: let me make a valid covariance matrix today and have a good meeting with my collaborators after a long time of no progress please and thank you!!!

A molecular model with N orbitals requires N qubits when mapped to a digital quantum computer - this becomes expensive for large active spaces. Our publication shows how to include more orbitals perturbatively without more qubits

#quantathonv1 was a success! exhausting, but my team and I pulled off something really cool, actually! Maybe expect to see a paper on molecular spectroscopy on quantum devices 😉

It’s so over 😭 while this is sad to see LK99 is explained by a well understood structural phase transition rather than SC, it still gives me hope to know we can make and understand exotic materials and, hopefully, one day we find one that acts like a RTAP SC!
First order transition in Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O...
Lee et al. reported that the compound LK99, with a chemical formula of
Pb$_{10-x}$Cu$_x$(PO$_4$)$_6$O ($0.9<x<1.1$), exhibits room-temperature
superconductivity under ambient pressure. In this...

finally… python 3 installed to the remote host 💕 can’t believe I was trying to build it myself before I just decided to let anaconda do it for me 🤪

there is something new about the latest RTAP superconductor discovery like every day, it’s gotta be the most hopping topic in physics that we’ve had in decades
