Improved Methods for Modeling Functional Transition Metal Compounds in Complex Environments: Ground States, Excited States, and Spectroscopies

Rapid advances in energy applications require new theory and computational models to provide guidance for interpretation of experimental results and mechanistic understanding. New theory development is necessary to treat systems of increasing complexity, size, and relevance to real applications. Functional transition metal compounds, including molecules, clusters, nanoparticles, surfaces, and solids, provide particular promise for magnetic, optical, and catalytic applications. However, such systems can be exceptionally challenging to model. To make progress in understanding and designing transition metal compounds for energy applications, theory must be able to simulate such systems in complex environments, as well as simulate the spectra of such complex systems to provide direct connections with experiment. Leveraging the independent expertise of the team’s members, this project aimed to make inroads to the theoretical and computational challenges associated with studying transition metal compounds, their reaction chemistry, photophysics and photochemistry, and response to spectroscopic interrogation.

Towards a Description of the Ground State Properties of LiHm Complexes and Reaction Energetics of Hydrogenation of Small Li Clusters using VQE-based Quantum Chemical Calculations

<span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 11pt;">This presentation describes the utilization of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) using a unitary coupled cluster with singles and doubles (UCCSD) ansatz to simulate a series of LiH</span><sub style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 11pt;">n</sub><span style="font-family: Roboto; font-size: 11pt;"> molecules (n=1-3), including their singly charged ions. The performance is considered using a simulator by systematically increasing system size, providing data to compare against future VQE calculations. The predicted energy profiles are in semi-quantitative agreement with highly accurate CCSD/FCI methods.</span>
