Article Abstract
Spontaneous symmetry breaking occurs in a system when its Hamiltonian possesses a certain symmetry, whereas the ground-state wave functions do not preserve it. This provides such a scenario that a bifurcation, which breaks the symmetry, occurs when some control parameter crosses its critical value. It is unveiled that the ground-state fidelity per lattice site exhibits such a bifurcation for quantum lattice systems undergoing quantum phase transitions. The significance of this result lies in the fact that the ground-state fidelity per lattice site is universal, in the sense that it is model independent, in contrast to (model-dependent) order parameters. This fundamental quantity may be computed by exploiting the developed tensor network algorithms on infinite-size lattices. We illustrate the scheme in terms of the quantum Ising model in a transverse magnetic field and the spin-1/2 XYX model in an external magnetic field on an infinite-size lattice in one spatial dimension.

Accurate and efficient simulation of photoinduced dynamics in materials remains a significant challenge due to the computational cost of excited-state electronic structure calculations and the necessity to account for excitonic effects. In this work, we present a machine learning (ML)-accelerated approach to nonadiabatic molecular dynamics simulations that incorporates excitonic effects by predicting excited-state wave functions via configuration interaction coefficients and excitation energies using a graph neural network (GNN) architecture. The GNN model leverages molecular orbital information from ground-state calculations to construct input graphs, enabling efficient and accurate prediction of relevant excited-state wave functions and energies required for ab initio-based fewest-switches surface hopping simulations.

Chiral catalysts that can engage multiple substrates, via distinct ground-state activation modes, to deliver enantioenriched products with high levels of fidelity are often described as 'privileged'. Achieving generality in excited-state processes remains challenging, and efforts to identify privileged chiral photocatalysts are being intensively pursued. Aluminium-salen complexes are emergent contenders on account of their well-defined photophysical properties.

The development of machine learning (ML) methods has made quantum chemistry (QC) calculations more accessible by reducing the computational cost incurred in conventional QC methods. This has since been translated into the overhead cost of generating training data. Increased work in reducing the cost of generating training data resulted in the development of Δ-ML and multifidelity machine learning methods, which use data at more than one QC level of accuracy, or fidelity.

Spontaneous two-photon emission (STPE) is a second-order quantum radiation process with implications in astrophysics, atomic physics and quantum technology. In particular, on-demand STPE from single quantum emitters has long been predicted to revolutionize photonic quantum science and technology. Here we report STPE with brightness comparable to that of competing single-photon radiation from a single semiconductor quantum dot deterministically coupled to a high-quality micropillar cavity.

The development of programmable quantum devices can be measured by the complexity of many-body states that they are able to prepare. Among the most significant are topologically ordered states of matter, which enable robust quantum information storage and processing. While topological orders are more readily accessible with qudits, experimental realizations have thus far been limited to lattice models of qubits.
