The continued development of computational approaches to many-body ground-state problems in physics and chemistry calls for a consistent way assess its overall progress. In this work, we introduce metric variational accuracy, the V-score, obtained from energy variance. We provide an extensive curated dataset calculations quantum systems, identifying cases where state-of-the-art numerical show limited accuracy future algorithms or platforms, such as computing, could improved accuracy.

The electric-current stabilized semimetallic state in the quasi-two-dimensional Mott insulator ${\mathrm{Ca}}_{2}{\mathrm{RuO}}_{4}$ exhibits an exceptionally strong diamagnetism. Through a comprehensive study using neutron and x-ray diffraction, we show that this nonequilibrium phase assumes crystal structure distinct from those of equilibrium metallic phases realized ruthenates by chemical doping, high pressure, epitaxial strain, which turn leads to electronic band structure. Dynamical...
A genuine feature of projective quantum measurements is that they inevitably alter the mean energy observed system if measured quantity does not commute with Hamiltonian. Compared to classical case, Jacobs proved this additional energetic cost leads a stronger bound on work extractable after single measurement from initially in thermal equilibrium (2009 Phys. Rev. 80 012322). Here, we extend large class feedback-driven engines operating periodically and finite time. The thus implies natural...

Excitonic magnetism involving superpositions of singlet and triplet states is expected to arise for two holes in strongly correlated spin-orbit coupled $t_{2g}$ orbitals. However, uncontested material examples its realization are rare. Applying the Variational Cluster Approach square lattice, we find conventional spin antiferromagnetism combined with orbital order at weak excitonic strong coupling. We address specific example Ca$_2$RuO$_4$ using ab-initio modeling conclude it realize despite...

Starting from an effective two-dimensional two-band model for infinite-layered nickelates, consisting of bands obtained $d$- and $s$-like orbitals, we investigate to which extent it can be mapped onto a single-band Hubbard model. We identify screening the more itinerant band as important driver. In absence one strongly correlated gives antiferromagnetic ground state. For weak screening, strong correlations push electrons out $s$ so that undoped nickelate remains Mott insulator with...
