Dissipative preparation of many-body quantum states: Toward practical quantum advantage

Lin Lin · 1 Sep 2025

While dissipation has traditionally been viewed as an obstacle to quantum coherence, it is increasingly recognized as a powerful computational resource. Dissipative protocols can prepare complex many-body quantum states by leveraging engineered system–environment interactions. This essay focuses on a class of algorithms that utilize algorithmically constructed Lindblad generators and highlight recent advances enabling the preparation…

SCAN meta-GGA, strong correlation, symmetry breaking, self-interaction correction, and semi-classical limit in density functional theory: Hidden connections and beneficial synergies?

John P. Perdew · 1 Sep 2025

The SCAN (strongly constrained and appropriately normed) meta-generalized gradient approximation (meta-GGA) for the exchange–correlation energy was constructed to satisfy 17 exact mathematical constraints and to fit non-bonded, normally correlated appropriate norms. It provides an excellent predictive description of the ground-state energies and electron spin densities of normally correlated systems in the absence of strong self-interaction…

A snapshot of time-dependent density-functional theory

Carsten A. Ullrich · 6 Oct 2025

Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is an extension of ground-state density-functional theory, which allows the treatment of electronic excited states and a wide range of time-dependent phenomena in the linear and nonlinear regime, including coupled electron–nuclear dynamics. TDDFT is a vibrant field with many exciting applications in physics, (bio)chemistry, materials science, and other areas. This…

Should it really be that hard to model the chirality induced spin selectivity effect?

Jonas Fransson · 23 Oct 2025

The chirality induced spin selectivity effect remains a challenge to capture with theoretical modeling. While at least a decade was spent on independent electron models, which completely fail to reproduce the experimental results, the lesson to be drawn out of these efforts is that a correct modeling of the effect has to include interactions among…

Enhancing PySCF-based quantum chemistry simulations with modern hardware, algorithms, and Python tools

Zhichen Pu, Qiming Sun · 1 Sep 2025

The PySCF package has emerged as a powerful and flexible open-source platform for quantum chemistry simulations.However, the efficiency of electronic structure calculations can vary significantly depending on the choice of computational techniques and hardware utilization.In this paper, we explore strategies to enhance research productivity and computational performance in PySCF-based simulations.First, we discuss graphics processing unit…

APL Computational Physics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the APL Computational Physics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the APL Computational Physics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official AIP Publishing format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does APL Computational Physics use?
APL Computational Physics uses Numbered (AIP) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, APL Computational Physics 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to APL Computational Physics?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a AIP Publishing-ready APL Computational Physics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the APL Computational Physics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the APL Computational Physics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is APL Computational Physics?
AIP Publishing journal (REVTeX 4.2). It is a physics journal, published by AIP Publishing.
Can I export a submission-ready APL Computational Physics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official APL Computational Physics template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to AIP Publishing, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the APL Computational Physics template cost?
You can start writing in the APL Computational Physics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready APL Computational Physics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
