The CMV Matrix and the Generalized Lanczos Process

The CMV matrix is the five-diagonal matrix that represents the operator of multiplication by the independent variable in a special basis formed of Laurent polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle C. The article by Cantero, Moral, and Velázquez, published in 2003 and describing this matrix, has attracted much attention because it implies that the conventional orthogonal polynomials on C can be interpreted as the characteristic polynomials of the leading principal submatrices of a certain five-diagonal matrix. The present paper recalls that finite-dimensional sections of the CMV matrix appeared in papers on the unitary eigenvalue problem long before the article by Cantero et al. was published. Moreover, band forms were also found for a number of other situations in the normal eigenvalue problem.

Hybrid quantum-classical hierarchy for mitigation of decoherence and determination of excited states

Using quantum devices supported by classical computational resources is a promising approach to quantum-enabled computation. One powerful example of such a hybrid quantum-classical approach optimized for classically intractable eigenvalue problems is the variational quantum eigensolver, built to utilize quantum resources for the solution of eigenvalue problems and optimizations with minimal coherence time requirements by leveraging classical computational resources. These algorithms have been placed as leaders among the candidates for the first to achieve supremacy over classical computation. Here, we provide evidence for the conjecture that variational approaches can automatically suppress even nonsystematic decoherence errors by introducing an exactly solvable channel model of variational state preparation. Moreover, we develop a more general hierarchy of measurement and classical computation that allows one to obtain increasingly accurate solutions by leveraging additional measurements and classical resources. In conclusion, we demonstrate numerically on a sample electronic system that this method both allows for the accurate determination of excited electronic states as well as reduces the impact of decoherence, without using any additional quantum coherence time or formal error-correction codes.

Computation of high-frequency magnetoelastic waves in layered materials

Here, the direct calculation of magnetoelastic wave dispersion in layered media is presented using an efficient, accurate computational technique. The governing, coupled equations for elasticity and magnetism, the Navier and Landau-Lifshitz equations, respectively, are linearized to form a quadratic eigenvalue problem that determines a complex web of wave-number–frequency dispersion branches and their corresponding mode profiles. Numerical discretization of the eigenvalue problem via a spectral collocation method (SCM) is employed to determine the complete dispersion maps for both a single, finite-thickness magnetic layer and a finite magnetic-nonmagnetic double-layer. The SCM, previously used to study elastic waves in nonmagnetic media, is fast, accurate, and adaptable to a variety of sample configurations and geometries. Emphasis is placed on the extremely high-frequency regimes being accessed in ultrafast magnetism experiments. The dispersion maps and modes provide insight into how energy propagates through the coupled system, including how energy can be transferred between elastic- and magnetic-dominated waves as well as between different layers. The numerical computations for a single layer are further understood by a simplified analytical calculation in the high-frequency, exchange-dominated regime where the resonance condition required for energy exchange (an anticrossing) between quasi-elastic and quasi-magnetic dispersion branches is determined. Nonresonant interactions are shown to be well approximated by the dispersion of uncoupled elastic and magnetic waves. The methods and results provide fundamental theoretical tools to model and understand current and future magnetic devices powering spintronic innovation.

Generalized Mercier stability criterion for stellarators

The Mercier criterion is a well-known stability criterion for tokamaks. It is derived from a 2 × 2 matrix eigenvalue problem arising from the expansion of resonant solutions about a singular surface where m−nq=0, with m and n being the poloidal and toroidal mode numbers, respectively, and q being the safety factor. The stability criterion is that the eigenvalues must be real, otherwise, the solution oscillates, violating the Newcomb crossing criterion. Because of the non-axisymmetry of stellarators, different toroidal as well as poloidal harmonics couple to each other. It follows that each singular surface can have multiple resonant harmonics, with multiplicity M≥1. The corresponding matrix eigenvalue problem involves a 2M×2M matrix, resulting in M pairs of positive and negative eigenvalues. The generalized stability criterion is that all eigenvalues must be real. While the original Mercier criterion can be expressed in terms of quadratures of equilibrium quantities over the singular surface, which can be evaluated anywhere, the generalized Mercier criterion can only be evaluated on rational q surfaces with a given set of resonant harmonics.

Implicit renormalization approach to the problem of Cooper instability

In the vast majority of cases, superconducting transition takes place at exponentially low temperature T c out of the Fermi liquid regime. We discuss the problem of determining T c from known system properties at temperatures T >> T c , and stress that this cannot be done reliably by following the standard protocol of solving for the largest eigenvalue of the original gap-function equation. However, within the implicit renormalization approach, the gap-function equation can be used to formulate an alternative eigenvalue problem, where solving leads to an accurate prediction for both T c and the gap function immediately below T c . Furthermore, with diagrammatic Monte Carlo techniques, this eigenvalue problem can be solved without invoking the matrix inversion or even explicitly calculating the four-point vertex function.

A unified analysis of plasma-sheath transition in the Tonks–Langmuir model with warm ion source

The paper presents a comprehensive kinetic theory of the famous Tonks–Langmuir model of a plane symmetric discharge, taking into account the thermal motion of ion source particles. The ion kinetics is governed by the ionization of neutrals at electron impacts. The plasma consisting of Boltzmann distributed electrons and singly charged ions is in contact with the absorbing negative wall. The derivations are performed in the frame of the “asymptotic two-scale” approximation, when the ionization mean-free path L{sub i} is much larger than the electron Debye length λ{sub D}. In the limit (λ{sub D}/L{sub i})→0, the plasma-wall transition (PWT) layer can be split into two sublayers: a quasineutral presheath (PS) (with the scale-length L{sub i}) and the Debye sheath (DS) (with the scale λ{sub D}). Such a subdivision of the PWT layer allows to investigate these sublayers separately and simplify the analysis of the influence of the ion source thermal motion (this has been neglected in the major part of publications up to now). The uniform description of the PWT layer as a single unit is complicated by the singular presheath and sheath structure and by a coupling with the eigenvalue problem originating from the plasma balance in the bounded system. The issue is clarified both analytically and numerically by construction of a matched asymptotic expressions. The equation and the length-scale governing the transition between neighboring PS and DS sublayers are derived. The eigenvalue problem combining the wall potential, the wall location, and the ionization mean-free path is discussed.

Floquet Chern insulators of light

Achieving topologically-protected robust transport in optical systems has recently been of great interest. Most studied topological photonic structures can be understood by solving the eigenvalue problem of Maxwell’s equations for static linear systems. Here, we extend topological phases into dynamically driven systems and achieve a Floquet Chern insulator of light in nonlinear photonic crystals (PhCs). Specifically, we start by presenting the Floquet eigenvalue problem in driven two-dimensional PhCs. We then define topological invariant associated with Floquet bands, and show that topological band gaps with non-zero Chern number can be opened by breaking time-reversal symmetry through the driving field. Finally, we numerically demonstrate the existence of chiral edge states at the interfaces between a Floquet Chern insulator and normal insulators, where the transport is non-reciprocal and uni-directional. Our work paves the way to further exploring topological phases in driven optical systems and their optoelectronic applications.

A universal variational quantum eigensolver for non-Hermitian systems

Abstract Many quantum algorithms are developed to evaluate eigenvalues for Hermitian matrices. However, few practical approach exists for the eigenanalysis of non-Hermintian ones, such as arising from modern power systems. The main difficulty lies in the fact that, as the eigenvector matrix of a general matrix can be non-unitary, solving a general eigenvalue problem is inherently incompatible with existing unitary-gate-based quantum methods. To fill this gap, this paper introduces a Variational Quantum Universal Eigensolver (VQUE), which is deployable on noisy intermediate scale quantum computers. Our new contributions include: (1) The first universal variational quantum algorithm capable of evaluating the eigenvalues of non-Hermitian matrices—Inspired by Schur’s triangularization theory, VQUE unitarizes the eigenvalue problem to a procedure of searching unitary transformation matrices via quantum devices; (2) A Quantum Process Snapshot technique is devised to make VQUE maintain the potential quantum advantage inherited from the original variational quantum eigensolver—With additional $$O(log_{2}{N})$$ O ( l o g 2 N ) quantum gates, this method efficiently identifies whether a unitary operator is triangular with respect to a given basis; (3) Successful deployment and validation of VQUE on a real noisy quantum computer, which demonstrates the algorithm’s feasibility. We also undertake a comprehensive parametric study to validate VQUE’s scalability, generality, and performance in realistic applications.

Orbital-enriched flat-top partition of unity method for the Schrödinger eigenproblem

Quantum mechanical calculations require the repeated solution of a Schrödinger equation for the wavefunctions of the system, from which materials properties follow. Recent work has shown the effectiveness of enriched finite element type Galerkin methods at significantly reducing the degrees of freedom required to obtain accurate solutions. However, time to solution has been adversely affected by the need to solve a generalized rather than standard eigenvalue problem and the ill-conditioning of associated system matrices. In this work, we address both issues by proposing a stable and efficient orbital-enriched partition of unity method to solve the Schrödinger boundary-value problem in a parallelepiped unit cell subject to Bloch-periodic boundary conditions. In the proposed partition of unity method, the three-dimensional domain is covered by overlapping patches, with a compactly-supported weight function associated with each patch. A key ingredient in our approach is the use of non-negative weight functions that possess the flat-top property, i.e., each weight function is identically equal to unity over some finite subset of its support. This flat-top property provides a pathway to devise a stable approximation over the whole domain. On each patch, we use $p$th degree orthogonal (Legendre) polynomials that ensure $p$th order completeness, and in addition include eigenfunctions of the radial Schrödinger equation. Furthermore, we adopt a variational lumping approach to construct a (block-)diagonal overlap matrix that yields a standard eigenvalue problem for which there exist efficient eigensolvers. The accuracy, stability, and efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated for the Schrödinger equation with a harmonic potential as well as a localized Gaussian potential. In conclusion, we show that the proposed approach delivers optimal rates of convergence in the energy, and the use of orbital enrichment significantly reduces the number of degrees of freedom for a given desired accuracy in the energy eigenvalues while the stability of the enriched approach is fully maintained.

Properties of coupled-cluster equations originating in excitation sub-algebras

In this paper we discuss properties of single-reference coupled cluster (CC) equations associated with the existence of nilpotent sub-algebras of excitations that allow one to represent CC equations in a hybrid fashion where the cluster amplitudes associated with these sub-algebras can be obtained by solving corresponding eigenvalue problem. For closed-shell formulations analyzed in this paper, the hybrid representation of CC equations provides a natural way for extending concepts behind actives-spaces and seniority numbers to provide more accurate description of electron correlation effects. Moreover, new representation can be utilized to re-define iterative algorithms used to solve CC equations, especially for though cases defined by the presence of strong static and dynamic correlation effects. We will also explore invariance properties associated with the nilpotent sub-algebras to define a new class of CC approximations referred in this paper to as the nilpotent-flow-based CC methods. We illustrate the performance of these methods on the example of ground- and excited-state calculations for commonly used small benchmark systems.

Mechanisms of interfacial reactivity in near surface and extreme environments

The local water structure surrounding ions in aqueous solutions greatly affects their chemical properties such as reaction rates, ion association, and proton and electron transport. These properties result in the behavior of ions in natural aqueous environments. For example ore transport is facilitated by chloride ion pair formation and the reaction of ions in an interface is strongly dependent on the dehydration of the ion hydration shell. We are developing the use of high-­resolution XAFS observations and 1st principles based MD-­XAFS analysis (spectra simulated using 1st principle methods with no adjustable parameters, AIMD) to interpret the solution properties of strongly interacting aqueous solutes under arbitrary pressure and temperature conditions. In the 1st principle MD-­XAFS method density functional theory (DFT) based MD simulations(Car and Parrinello, 1985) are used to generate a large ensemble of structural snap shots of the hydration region. These are then used to generate scattering intensities. I emphasize three points about this novel approach to analyzing XAFS data. 1st: As illustrated in Figure 1, the level of agreement between the calculated and observed intensities is considerably higher than has been obtained by any XAFS analysis to date (note 2nd shell region, R> 2 Å). 2nd: This result was obtained from a parameter free simulation with no fitting of the interaction potentials to any data. This supports the use of these methods for more difficult environments and more complex solutes (polyions). 3rd: New information about the shell structure (Figure 1) is now available because of this more detailed agreement. We note also that both multiple scattering and second shell features are well represented in the analysis. As far as we know this is the 1st analysis of second shell structure and multiple scattering. Excellent agreement has been obtained for most of the third row metal ions: Ca 2+ , Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Co 2+ , Mn 2+ , Fe 3+ , Cr 3+ . Calculations on these systems are demanding because of their open electronic shells, and high ionic charge. Principal Investigator: Professor John Weare (University of California, San Diego) The prediction of the interactions of geochemical fluids with minerals, nanoparticles, and colloids under extreme near surface conditions of temperature (T) and pressure (P) is a grand challenge research need in geosciences (U.S. DOE 2007, Basic Research Needs for Geosciences: Facilitating the 21st Energy Systems.). To evaluate the impact of these processes on energy production and management strategies it is necessary to have a high level of understanding of the interaction between complex natural fluids and mineral formations. This program emphasizes 1st principle parameter free simulations of complex chemical processes in solutions, in the mineral phase, and in the interfaces between these phases The development of new computational tools (with emphasis on oxide materials and reaction dynamics) tailored to treat wide range of conditions and time scales experienced in such geochemical applications is has been developed. Because of the sensitivity of the interaction in these systems to electronic structure and local bonding environments, and of the need to describe bond breaking/formation, our simulations are based on interactions calculated at the electronic structure level (ab-initio molecular dynamics, AIMD). The progress in the computational aspects of program may be summarized in terms of the following themes (objectives); Development of efficient parameter free dynamical simulation technology based on 1st principles force and energy calculations especially adapted for geochemical applications (e.g., mineral, interfaces and aqueous solutions) (continuing program); Calculation of the dynamics of water structure of in the surface-water interface of transition metal oxides and oxihydroxides; and Development of improved (beyond DFT+GGA) electronic structure calculations for minerals and the interface region that more accurately calculate electron correlation, spin density, and localization. The focus of the program is also on the iron oxide and oxihydroxide minerals and Fe 2+ (aq)/Fe 3+ (cr) oxidation in the mineral solution interface region. These methods included the development of model Hamilitonian methods that can be solved to near convergence for single site models (DMFT) and many-body perturbation methods (MP2, GW); Development of time decomposition methods to extend time scales of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations and support the use of high complexity electronic structure calculations (MP2, CCSD(T)) of forces for use in dynamical simulations where very high chemical accuracy is required (microsolvated reactions in absorbed surface layers); and The development of a new linear scaling finite element solver for eigenvalue problem that supports solution of quantum problems with unusual potential and boundary values. Application progress of the above new simulation technology to problems of geochemical interests includes; The prediction of metal oxide surface structure and the reduction/oxidation of Fe 3+ (cr)/Fe 2+ (aq) in metal oxide (hematite, goethite)/solution interfaces. Result: water interacts strongly with the 001 Hematite surface; interaction of water with the 100 goethite is weak; The study of ion solvation and the composition of ion hydration shells under extreme conditions (focus on Fe 3+/2+ , Al 3+ and Mg 2+ and their hydroxide speciation). Result: Ion association in water solutions can be calculated from 1st principle methods. Efficient sampling of the free energy requires more development; The continued development of new high resolution analysis of XAFS scattering of disordered systems (particularly Al, Mg) and of XANES calculations for aqueous ions. Result: EXAFS spectra can be calculated to high accuracy with DFT level dynamic simulations; The exploration of electron localization and electron transport in metal oxides (highly correlated materials). Result: Proper description of electron localization requires levels of calculation beyond DFT; and Localization of electrons in DFT type Hamiltonians was studied. Result: For very Dirac high exchange new solutions (New unphysical bifrucations) to the eigenvalue problem are found. The program was highly collaborative involving faculty and students in mathematics, physics and computer science departments as well as coworkers at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratories (PNNL). The students in this program had the opportunity to develop skills in the development of methods, the implementation of method on high performance parallel computers and the application of these methods to problem in geochemical science. Much of the software that was developed was incorporated in the NWchem software package maintained by PNNL.

Study of recirculating liquid fuel in a 1D critical stationary system

Several studies have been conducted to investigate the physics of liquid fuel reactors, showing also applications with molten salts. A liquid nuclear fuel implies changes in the neutron balance equation to take into account the precursors' displacement and the emission of delayed neutrons in a different position than at the original fission. This requires to upgrade the computer codes normally used to calculate nuclear reactors using only solid fuel. In this work, we revisit a simple problem with liquid fuel, which is proposed for the verification of the numerical solutions obtained by advanced computer codes. This problem studies criticality with constant coefficients, thus neglecting thermal feedback. We elaborate on the analytical solution of the problem, deriving also a generalized eigenvalue problem by finite-volume integration over the cells of a discretized mesh to study the evolution of the dominance ratio with fuel velocity. Finally, we investigate the influence of the fuel velocity on the reactivity of the system. (authors)

Enhancing scalability of a matrix-free eigensolver for studying many-body localization

We propose several techniques to enhance the parallel scalability of a matrix-free eigensolver designed for studying many-body localization (MBL) of quantum spin chain models with nearest-neighbor interactions and on-site disorder. This type of problem is computationally challenging because the dimension of the associated Hamiltonian matrix grows exponentially with respect to the number of spins L, and we need to average over different realizations of the random disorder to obtain relevant statistical behavior. For each disorder realization, we need to compute eigenvalues from different regions of the spectrum and their corresponding eigenvectors. In previous work, the interior eigenstates for a single eigenvalue problem are computed via the shift-and-invert Lanczos algorithm. Due to the extremely high memory footprint of the LU factorizations, this technique is not well suited for large L’s. For example, we need thousands of compute nodes on modern high performance computing infrastructures to go beyond L = 24. The matrix-free approach does not suffer from this memory bottleneck, however, its scalability is limited by a computation and communication load imbalance. To reduce this imbalance and to significantly enhance the scalability of the matrix-free eigensolver, we reorder the matrix and leverage the consistent space runtime, CSPACER. We also show its efficiency in managing irregular communication patterns at scale compared to optimized MPI non-blocking two-sided and one-sided RMA implementation variants. This effort enables us to study MBL for spin chains with a larger number of spins. The efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by computing eigenstates on a massively parallel many-core high performance computer.

ELSI: A unified software interface for Kohn–Sham electronic structure solvers

Solving the electronic structure from a generalized or standard eigenproblem is often the bottleneck in large scale calculations based on Kohn-Sham density-functional theory. This problem must be addressed by essentially all current electronic structure codes, based on similar matrix expressions, and by high-performance computation. We here present a unified software interface, ELSI, to access different strategies that address the Kohn-Sham eigenvalue problem. Currently supported algorithms include the dense generalized eigensolver library ELPA, the orbital minimization method implemented in libOMM, and the pole expansion and selected inversion (PEXSI) approach with lower computational complexity for semilocal density functionals. The ELSI interface aims to simplify the implementation and optimal use of the different strategies, by offering (a) a unified software framework designed for the electronic structure solvers in Kohn-Sham density-functional theory; (b) reasonable default parameters for a chosen solver; (c) automatic conversion between input and internal working matrix formats, and in the future (d) recommendation of the optimal solver depending on the specific problem. As a result, comparative benchmarks are shown for system sizes up to 11,520 atoms (172,800 basis functions) on distributed memory supercomputing architectures.

Solution of A. Einstein’s Problem on the Density of Matter in the Universe

On the basis of the special theory of relativity and a solution of the Schwarzschild equations of general relativity, a generalized equation of Friedmann–Einstein–de Sitter type has been obtained for the expanding Universe. As a result of our work on the boundary value problem for this equation, we have found the eigenvalue of the resulting eigenvalue problem, linking the density of the Universe in the comoving coordinates, the Hubble constant, and the gravitational constant. We have calculated a value for the density of matter in the Universe which is in agreement with the observational data. We have shown that the missing dark energy is the relativistic kinematic and potential energy of the expanding Universe.
