Expected Value of Helium Ion Electron Momentum in Momentum Space with Primary Quantum Numbers n≤3

Bambang Supriadi, Hana Mardhiana, Wendy Indra Kristiawan +2 more

The aim is the expected value of helium ions to determine its properties as a heat transmitter to reactors and chirogenic science. This research is non-experimental research using quantum mechanics literature study methods because there are many previous studies that are relevant to this research. Data on the expected value of electron momentum in helium ions is determined based on numerical calculations using the Matlab 2015a program to simplify calculations using ion expectation calculations in momentum. The results obtained are that the electron momentum value in the helium ion can provide an overview of the average momentum value of the helium ion electrons in momentum space. This research data also shows that in momentum space the expected value of electron momentum decreases as the principal quantum number (n) increases. This can be seen when n=1,l =0 then 3p0 = 1.3146, and when n=3,l =0 then 3p0 = 0.5098.

Variational calculations of coupling of an incident helium atom to a slab of superfluid helium four

C. E. Campbell, J. W. Halleý, Stephen Robert Hoon

In previous work on the interaction of single helium atoms with a slab of superfluid helium the authors found a large amplitude, dependent on the condensate fraction, for transmission with re-emission of a helium atom at the other side of the slab. Here they report a variational formulation of the problem which permits a time dependent calculation and which does not require any perturbation expansion. The variational principle involves a minimization of the expectation value of the square of the difference H-E. They will present preliminary results of a variational Monte Carlo calculation using a simple variational form for the wave function.

Application of Variational Quantum Eigensolver for Ground State Energies Calculation in Hydrogen and Helium Atomic Sequences

Difa Farhani Hakim, Teguh Budi Prayitno, Yanoar Pribadi Sarwono

Exponential scaling presents a significant challenge in electronic structure calculations performed on classical computers. This paper explores how quantum computer algorithms can accurately represent quantum systems. Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) algorithm is used to compute the ground state energy of hydrogen and helium sequences by implementing variational principle and quantum gates as trial wavefunction. This technique combines classical optimization with quantum computing calculations to simulate quantum systems on noisy and resource-limited computers. The resulting calculated energy is highly consistent to the corresponding exact values and Hartree-Fock calculations with a trend of when the number of atoms increases the calculated energy becomes more negative, leading to a decrease in the percentage error. Moreover, the convergence of the ground state energy of hydrogen and helium atoms was effectively optimized. The desired energy was reached, proven by adjusting the expectation value, and gradually achieving unity in state overlap. These findings demonstrate the VQE method's accuracy in calculating simple quantum systems and its scalability for larger atomic and molecular system, such as those in quantum chemistry and material science. However, challenges in quantum computer simulations, such as limited in qubit numbers and the presence of noise, require further advancements. Therefore, implementing a larger basis sets, advanced qubit mapping, specific chemistry ansatz, and flexible optimization techniques is one way to improve overall calculation.
