Information Routing in Atomistic Foundation Models: How Task Alignment and Equivariance Shape Linear Disentanglement

This paper introduces Compositional Probe Decomposition (CPD) to demonstrate that linear disentanglement of geometric and compositional information in atomistic foundation models is primarily driven by task alignment rather than architecture, revealing a significant performance gradient where models trained on specific properties like HOMO-LUMO gaps outperform energy-trained models and exhibit symmetry-dependent information routing.

\textit{Ab Initio} Adiabatic Potential Energy Surfaces and Non-adiabatic Couplings for O3_3: Construction of Four State Diabatic Hamiltonian

This paper presents highly accurate *ab initio* adiabatic potential energy surfaces and non-adiabatic couplings for the four low-lying singlet states of ozone, constructed using advanced multi-reference methods to reproduce experimental dissociation energies and frequencies, locate conical intersections, and provide a four-state diabatic Hamiltonian free of "reef" features.

For molecular polaritons, disorder and phonon timescales control the activation of dark states in the thermodynamic limit

This study employs a numerically exact hybrid MPS-HEOM approach to demonstrate that in disordered molecular polariton systems, phonon timescales and dynamic disorder govern the activation of dark states and determine the critical system size (NTN_T) required to reach the thermodynamic limit by suppressing collective light-matter dynamics.
