Dr. Henrik R. Larsson at the University of California, Merced received a $700,000 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemistry under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to develop advanced computational methods for simulating quantum dynamics in complex molecules. The primary deliverables include tree tensor network state methods for high-dimensional molecular quantum dynamics and spectroscopy, new approaches for representing molecular Hamiltonians in tensor network forms, and linear-response theories designed to compute molecular spectra in targeted experimental regions. These computational tools are expected to improve the efficiency of full-dimensional quantum simulations by several orders of magnitude and will be made freely available as open-source research software. The project integrates research with educational components through course-based research experiences, training of students and postdoctoral researchers in quantum sciences, and involvement of undergraduate and high school students in quantum effects research. The work addresses NSF's priority area of quantum information science by advancing understanding of fluxional molecules and molecules interacting with quantum light through many-particle simulations of strongly entangled quantum states. The award period runs from July 15, 2026, through June 30, 2031, with research applications extending to chemistry, materials science, sensing, and other fields dependent on controlling quantum behavior.
