Spin-Orbit Induced Non-Adiabatic Dynamics: An Exact Ω\Omega-Representation

This paper demonstrates that transforming molecular Hamiltonians to the adiabatic Ω\Omega representation to eliminate spin-orbit coupling inadvertently generates significant non-adiabatic couplings that must be explicitly included to avoid severe errors in rovibronic predictions, providing exact conditions for validity and practical diagnostics for when single-state approximations fail.

Frustrated supermolecules: the high-pressure phases of crystalline methane

Using molecular dynamics based on density functional theory, this study reveals that the complex high-pressure crystal phases of methane arise from the packing of specific supermolecular clusters (icosahedral and polyhedral) where a trade-off between efficient packing and suppressed rotational entropy, driven by orientation-dependent intermolecular interactions, explains the observed non-cubic symmetries and sluggish phase transitions.

Entanglement Barriers from Computational Complexity: Matrix-Product-State Approach to Satisfiability

This paper demonstrates that the failure of the quantum-inspired Matrix Product State approach to solve 3-SAT via imaginary time propagation is fundamentally caused by classical computational complexity, specifically the hardness of the #3-SAT counting problem, which manifests as an entanglement barrier and necessitates superlinear non-stabilizer resources.
