Computational study of the rovibrational spectrum of H2O-HF

In this paper we report rovibrational energy levels, transition frequencies, and intensities computed for H2O-HF using a new ab initio potential energy surface and compare with available experimental data. We use the rigid monomer approximation. A G4 symmetry-adapted Lanczos algorithm and an uncoupled product basis are employed. The rovibrational levels are computed up to J = 4. The new analytic 9-D potential is �t to 39771 counterpoise corrected CCSD(T)(F12*)/augcc- pVTZ energies and reduces to the sum of uncoupled H2O and HF potentials in the dissociation limit. On the new potential better agreement with experiment is obtained by re-assigning the R(1) transitions of two vibrational states.

Operator growth in 2d CFT

We investigate and characterize the dynamics of operator growth in irrational two-dimensional conformal field theories. By employing the oscillator realization of the Virasoro algebra and CFT states, we systematically implement the Lanczos algorithm and evaluate the Krylov complexity of simple operators (primaries and the stress tensor) under a unitary evolution protocol. Evolution of primary operators proceeds as a flow into the ‘bath of descendants’ of the Verma module. These descendants are labeled by integer partitions and have a one-to-one map to Young diagrams. This relationship allows us to rigorously formulate operator growth as paths spreading along the Young’s lattice. We extract quantitative features of these paths and also identify the one that saturates the conjectured upper bound on operator growth.

Comparison of an improved self-consistent lower bound theory with Lehmann’s method for low-lying eigenvalues

Ritz eigenvalues only provide upper bounds for the energy levels, while obtaining lower bounds requires at least the calculation of the variances associated with these eigenvalues. The well-known Weinstein and Temple lower bounds based on the eigenvalues and variances converge very slowly and their quality is considerably worse than that of the Ritz upper bounds. Lehmann presented a method that in principle optimizes Temple’s lower bounds with significantly improved results. We have recently formulated a Self-Consistent Lower Bound Theory (SCLBT), which improves upon Temple’s results. In this paper, we further improve the SCLBT and compare its quality with Lehmann’s theory. The Lánczos algorithm for constructing the Hamiltonian matrix simplifies Lehmann’s theory and is essential for the SCLBT method. Using two lattice Hamiltonians, we compared the improved SCLBT (iSCLBT) with its previous implementation as well as with Lehmann’s lower bound theory. The novel iSCLBT exhibits a significant improvement over the previous version. Both Lehmann’s theory and the SCLBT variants provide significantly better lower bounds than those obtained from Weinstein’s and Temple’s methods. Compared to each other, the Lehmann and iSCLBT theories exhibit similar performance in terms of the quality and convergence of the lower bounds. By increasing the number of states included in the calculations, the lower bounds are tighter and their quality becomes comparable with that of the Ritz upper bounds. Both methods are suitable for providing lower bounds for low-lying excited states as well. Compared to Lehmann’s theory, one of the advantages of the iSCLBT method is that it does not necessarily require the Weinstein lower bound for its initial input, but Ritz eigenvalue estimates can also be used. Especially owing to this property the iSCLBT method sometimes exhibits improved convergence compared to that of Lehmann’s lower bounds
