Nanoscale chemical reaction exploration with a quantum magnifying glass.

ABSTRACT: Nanoscopic systems exhibit diverse molecular substructures by which they facilitate specific functions. Theoretical models of them, which aim at describing, understanding, and predicting these capabilities, are difficult to build. Viable quantum-classical hybrid models come with specific challenges regarding atomistic structure construction and quantum region selection. Moreover, if their dynamics are mapped onto a state-to-state mechanism such as a chemical reaction network, its exhaustive exploration will be impossible due to the combinatorial explosion of the reaction space. Here, we introduce a "quantum magnifying glass" that allows one to interactively manipulate nanoscale structures at the quantum level. The quantum magnifying glass seamlessly combines autonomous model parametrizatio
