Light nuclear scattering from neural quantum states

Nuclear Theory 2026-05-29 v2

Abstract

We present a method of studying few-body nuclear scattering by means of neural quantum states, without requiring time-evolution. A recently developed family of stable minimum principles for Schrodinger's equation provides conservative uncertainties on cross sections and partial wave amplitudes computed in this way. We use this method to study both elastic and inelastic neutron-deuteron scattering with realistic nuclear two-body forces.
