Flocking as a continuous phase transition in self-aligning active crystals

Marco Musacchio, Alexander P. Antonov, Hartmut Löwen et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0332477

We study a two-dimensional crystal composed of active units governed by self-alignment. This mechanism induces a torque that aligns a particle’s orientation with its velocity and leads to a phase tran...

Exact factorization of unitary transformations with spin-adapted generators

Paarth Jain, Artur F. Izmaylov, Erik R. Kjellgren May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0326865

Preserving spin symmetry in variational quantum algorithms is essential for producing physically meaningful electronic wave functions. Implementing spin-adapted transformations on quantum hardware, ho...

Coupled concentration-charge dynamics in 1:1 electrolytes with unequal diffusion coefficients: Local transient response and fluctuations

Thê Hoang Ngoc Minh, Sleeba Varghese, Benjamin Rotenberg May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0323816

We investigate the coupled dynamics of concentration and charge in asymmetric 1:1 electrolytes, focusing on the interplay between diffusion asymmetry and external electric fields. Using Brownian dynam...

Transport properties of monodisperse and bidisperse hard-sphere colloidal suspensions from multiparticle collision dynamics simulations

Michael P. Howard May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0332320

The shear viscosities, long-time self-diffusion coefficients, and sedimentation velocities in monodisperse and bidisperse hard-sphere colloidal suspensions are simulated for volume fractions up to 0.4...

Dynamics and charge transport in PVDF-HFP/protic ionic liquid (PIL) membranes: The effect of PIL concentration

Runhong Wei, Li Niu, Jessica Mangialetto et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0331186

The performance of high-temperature proton exchange membranes is critically determined by the interplay between polymer segmental dynamics and ionic transport. In this work, we investigate how the inc...

A staging Monte Carlo algorithm for sampling off-diagonal density matrix elements via open-chain path integrals

Alan Robledo, Mark E. Tuckerman May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0331949

We introduce a computationally simple algorithm for sampling open-chain distributions within the framework of imaginary-time Feynman path integration. The present method is based on the staging algori...

A computational approach for the calculation of two-dimensional infrared spectra: Application to the amide I band

Laura Zanetti-Polzi, Giovanni Parolin, Stefano Corni et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0314700

Two-dimensional (2D) vibrational spectroscopy provides a powerful means to probe molecular interactions, structure, and dynamics in condensed phases with high temporal and spectral resolution. Theoret...

Excitation of low-frequency modes and the effects of protein dynamics on spectral densities of bacteriochlorophyll molecules

Sayan Maity, Tristan Alexander Mauck, Ulrich Kleinekathöfer May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0320349

In the theory of open quantum systems, spectral densities are key quantities for modeling the dynamics and spectroscopic properties of the system under investigation. In the case of light-harvesting c...

Mengyan Feng, Binbin Wang, Yaowu Wang et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0330925

The interface contact properties, charge recombination behavior, and energy level alignment of inverted perovskite solar cells (PSCs) constitute core bottlenecks that restrict their performance improv...

Simulating non-Markovian open quantum dynamics by exploiting physics-informed neural network

Long Cao, Liwei Ge, Daochi Zhang et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0332977

This work integrates the physics-informed neural network (PINN) approach into the neural quantum state framework to simulate open quantum system dynamics and to circumvent the computationally expensiv...

Evaluating the role of anion structure in the physisorption contribution to CO2 solvation in [BMIm]-based systems: A molecular dynamics study

Diana Murillo-Criado, Miguel A. Gonzalez, Maria José Tenorio et al. May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0326889

The urgent need for sustainable carbon capture has established imidazolium-based ionic liquids (ILs) as revolutionary solvents. However, the specific role of physisorption in their capture mechanisms...

Designing quantum chemistry algorithms with just-in-time compilation

Xiaojie Wu, Qiming Sun, Yuanheng Wang May 21, 2026 10.1063/5.0314659

We introduce just-in-time (JIT) compilation to the integral kernels for Gaussian-type orbitals to enhance the efficiency of electron repulsion integral computations. For Coulomb and exchange (JK) matr...
