Excited to be at my first #ACSFall2025 meeting! I'll be giving a talk on a new type of wavefunction theory - "Unitary Product States" - that is both compatible with quantum computers and sheds new light on traditional electronic structure methods.

Wednesday 20th August at 2pm in Hall E - Room 26!

New #CompChem preprint... I've been working with the @cortogantese.bsky.social group on new ways to model multiconfigurational states by forcing UHF to break spin symmetry, even when it doesn't want to! Work led by the excellent Amir Ayati. arxiv.org/abs/2503.12548 @uclchemistry.bsky.social
