Moment approximation methods are gaining increasing attention for their use in the approximation of the stochastic kinetics of chemical reaction systems. In this paper we derive a general moment expansion method for any type of propensities…
Given a linear system of equations $A\boldsymbol{x}=\boldsymbol{b}$, quantum linear system solvers (QLSSs) approximately prepare a quantum state $|\boldsymbol{x}\rangle$ for which the amplitudes are proportional to the solution vector…
The quasi-steady-state approximation (QSSA) is a standard technique for reducing the complexity of chemical reaction networks (CRNs). The validity of any QSSA-based model is restricted to specific parameter regimes. Selecting the…
Identifying transition states (TSs), the high-energy configurations that molecules pass through during chemical reactions, is essential for understanding and designing chemical processes. However, accurately and efficiently identifying…
Computing accurate rate constants for catalytic events occurring at the surface of a given material represents a challenging task with multiple potential applications in chemistry. To address this question, we propose an approach based on a…
Quantum indistinguishability plays a crucial role in many low-energy physical phenomena, from quantum fluids to molecular spectroscopy. It is, however, typically ignored in most high temperature processes, particularly for ionic…
Enzyme-catalysed reactions involve two distinct timescales. There is a short timescale on which enzymes bind to substrate molecules to produce bound complexes, and a comparatively long timescale on which the complex is transformed into a…
We perform quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) calculations to determine minimum energy pathways of simple chemical reactions, and compare the computed geometries and reaction barriers with those obtained with density functional theory (DFT) and…
Biological systems produce outputs in response to variable inputs. Input-output relations tend to follow a few regular patterns. For example, many chemical processes follow the S-shaped Hill equation relation between input concentrations…
The precise characterization of dynamics in open quantum systems often presents significant challenges, leading to the introduction of various approximations to simplify a model. One commonly used strategy involves Markovian approximations,…
The sequence of amino acid monomers in the primary structure of a protein is decided by the corresponding sequence of codons (triplets of nucleic acid monomers) on the template messenger RNA (mRNA). The polymerization of a protein, by…
We introduce KiNetX, a fully automated meta-algorithm for the kinetic analysis of complex chemical reaction networks derived from semi-accurate but efficient electronic structure calculations. It is designed to (i) accelerate the automated…
Statistical mechanics provides an effective framework to investigate information processing in biochemical reactions. Within such framework far-reaching analogies are established among (anti-) cooperative collective behaviors in chemical…
Electron Transfer (ET) reactions are modeled by the dynamics of a quantum two-level system (representing the electronic state) coupled to a thermalized bath of classical harmonic oscillators (representing the nuclei degrees of freedom).…
Efficient and reliable identification and optimization of transition state structures is a longstanding challenge in computational chemistry. Popular chain-of-states methods require hundreds if not thousands of ab initio calculations to…
We present a microscopic approach to quantum dissipation and sketch the derivation of the kinetic equation describing the evolution of a simple quantum system in interaction with a complex quantum system. A typical quantum complex system is…
A new steady-state kinetic model of ammonia decomposition is presented and analyzed regarding the electronic properties of metal catalysts. The model is based on the classical Temkin-Ertl mechanism and modified in accordance with…
Recently, Gorban (2021) analysed some kinetic paradoxes of the transition state theory and proposed its revision that gave the "entangled mass action law", in which new reactions were generated as an addition to the reaction mechanism under…
We describe a path-integral molecular dynamics implementation of our recently developed golden-rule quantum transition-state theory (GR-QTST). The method is applied to compute the reaction rate in various models of electron transfer and…
Understanding grain-surface processes is crucial to interpreting the chemistry of the ISM. However, accurate surface chemistry models are computationally expensive and are difficult to integrate with gas-phase simulations. A new…
