Functions used for simulating vibrational quantum dynamics of molecules.
Photonic quantum devices can be programmed with molecular data in order to simulate the quantum
dynamics of spatially-localized vibrations in molecules :cite:`sparrow2018simulating`. To that aim,
the quantum device has to be programmed to implement the transformation:
.. math::
U(t) = U_l e^{-i\hat{H}t/\hbar} U_l^\dagger,
where :math:`\hat{H} = \sum_i \hbar \omega_i a_i^\dagger a_i` is the Hamiltonian corresponding to
the harmonic normal modes, :math:`\omega_i` is the vibrational frequency of the :math:`i`-th normal
mode, :math:`t` is time, and :math:`U_l` is a unitary matrix that relates the normal modes to a set
of new modes that are localized on specific bonds or groups in a molecule. The matrix :math:`U_l`
can be obtained by maximizing the sum of the squares of the atomic contributions to the modes
:cite:`jacob2009localizing`. Having :math:`U_l` and :math:`\omega` for a given molecule, and assuming
that it is possible to prepare the initial states of the mode, one can simulate the dynamics of
vibrational excitations in the localized basis at any given time :math:`t`. This process has three
main parts:
- Preparation of an initial vibrational state.
- Application of the dynamics transformation :math:`U(t)`.
- Generating samples and computing the probability of observing desired states.
It is noted that the initial states can be prepared in different ways. For instance, they can be
Fock states or Gaussian states such as coherent states or two-mode squeezed vacuum states.
Algorithm
---------
The algorithm for simulating the vibrational quantum dynamics in the localized basis with a photonic
device has the following form:
1. Each optical mode is assigned to a vibrational local mode and a specific initial excitation is
created using one of the state preparation methods discussed. A list of state preparations
methods available in Strawberry Fields is provided :doc:`here </introduction/ops>`.
2. An interferometer is configured according to the unitary :math:`U_l^\dagger` and the initial
state is propagated through the interferometer.
3. For each mode, a rotation gate is designed as :math:`R(\theta) = \exp(i\theta \hat{a}^{\dagger}\hat{a})`
where :math:`\theta = -\omega t`.
4. A second interferometer is configured according to the unitary :math:`U_l` and the new state
is propagated through the interferometer.
5. The number of photons in each output mode is measured.
6. Samples are generated and the probability of obtaining a specific excitation in a given mode
(or modes) is computed for time :math:`t`.
This module contains functions for implementing this algorithm.
