Quantum properties of charged ferroelectric domain walls

We consider the properties of charged domain walls in ferroelectrics as a quantum problem. This includes determination of self-consistent attracting 1D potential for compensating charge carriers, the number and positions of discrete energy levels in this p ...

Molecular quantum mechanical gradients within the polarizable embedding approach-Application to the internal vibrational Stark shift of acetophenone

We present an implementation of analytical quantum mechanical molecular gradients within the polarizable embedding (PE) model to allow for efficient geometry optimizations and vibrational analysis of molecules embedded in large, geometrically frozen enviro ...

Josephson Tunneling at the Atomic Scale

Berthold Jäck

The aim of this thesis is to characterize the properties of a Josephson junction in a Scanning Tunneling Microscope (STM) at millikelvin temperatures and to implement Josephson STM (JSTM) as a versatile probe at the atomic scale. To this end we investigate ...

Accelerating quantum instanton calculations of the kinetic isotope effects

Jiri Vanicek, Konstantin Karandashev

Path integral implementation of the quantum instanton approximation currently belongs among the most accurate methods for computing quantum rate constants and kinetic isotope effects, but its use has been limited due to the rather high computational cost. ...

Optically active quantum dots in monolayer WSe2

Andras Kis, Adrien Victor Allain, Dominik Sebastian Lembke, Meinrad Sidler

Semiconductor quantum dots have emerged as promising candidates for the implementation of quantum information processing, because they allow for a quantum interface between stationary spin qubits and propagating single photons(1-3). In the meantime, transi ...

Efficient on-the-fly ab initio semiclassical method for computing time-resolved nonadiabatic electronic spectra with surface hopping or Ehrenfest dynamics

Jiri Vanicek, Tomas Zimmermann

We derive a somewhat crude, yet very efficient semiclassical approximation for computing nonadiabatic spectra. The resulting method, which is a generalization of the multiple-surface dephasing representation, includes quantum effects through interference o ...

Symmetry Reduction Of Brownian Motion And Quantum Calogero-Moser Models

Simon Hochgerner

Let Q be a Riemannian G-manifold. This paper is concerned with the symmetry reduction of Brownian motion in Q and ramifications thereof in a Hamiltonian context. Specializing to the case of polar actions, we discuss various versions of the stochastic Hamil ...

Pre-selection of optical transitions in rare-earth ions in crystals perspective for quantum information processing

A systematic analysis of decoherence rates due to electron-phonon interactions for optical transitions of rare-earth dopant ions in crystals is presented in the frame of the point charge model. For this model, the large value of any one of the matrix eleme ...
