Newton optimization for the Multiconfiguration Self Consistent Field method at the basis set limit: closed-shell two-electron systems
The multiconfiguration self-consistent-field (MCSCF) method is revisited with the specific focus on the two electron systems for simplicity. A wave function is represented as a linear combination of Slater determinants. Both orbitals and coefficients of this configuration interaction expansion are optimized following the variational principle making use of the Newton optimization technique. It reduces the MCSCF problem to solving a particular differential Newton system, which can be discretized…

Enzo Staiola, Who Starred in ‘Bicycle Thieves’ as a Child, Dies at 85
Discovered on the street in Rome, he had a brush with stardom when he was cast in what many consider one of the greatest films of all time.

Initial ideal of a general rational or elliptic curve on quadrics
Over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, we prove that the generic initial ideal with respect to the degree reverse lexicographic term order of a general rational or elliptic curve on quadrics is almost revlex. Following constructive arguments, our proof combines features of a pencil of quadrics, interpolation methods and the notion of double generic initial ideal.

Emergent anisotropic three-phase order in critically doped superconducting diamond films
Two decades since its discovery, superconducting heavily boron-doped diamond (HBDD) still presents unresolved fundamental questions whose resolution is relevant to the development of this material for quantum technologies. We use electrical magnetotransport measurements of critically-doped homoepitaxial single crystal HBDD films to reveal signatures of intrinsic (electronic) granular superconductivity. By studying the dependence of electrical resistivity on temperature and magnetic field vector…

(1/4) “When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in 1 place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, & it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, & a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit & began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusal…
