The fusion of $\alpha$ and $^8$Be to produce a $^{12}$C nucleus is a crucial process in nucleosynthesis. In the laboratory, this process can only be studied theoretically as a $^8$Be target or projectile cannot be prepared experimentally.…
We extend the variational cluster approach to deal with strongly correlated lattice bosons in the superfluid phase. To this end, we reformulate the approach within a pseudoparticle formalism, whereby cluster excitations are described by…
Ab initio methods using weakly interacting nucleons give a good description of condensed nuclear matter up to densities comparable to the nuclear saturation density. At higher densities palpable strong interactions between overlapping…

Among the light nuclear clusters the alpha-particle is by far the strongest bound system and therefore expected to play a significant role in the dynamics of nuclei and the phases of nuclear matter. To systematically study the properties of…
We consider a Bose gas at density $\rho > 0$, interacting through a repulsive potential $V \in L^2 (\mathbb{R}^3)$ with scattering length $\mathfrak{a} > 0$. We prove an upper bound for the free energy of the system, valid at low…

These lectures are centered around a specific problem, the effect of weak repulsive interactions on the transition temperature $T_c$ of a Bose gas. This problem provides indeed a beautiful illustration of many of the techniques which have…

We discuss the possibility of exponential quantum localization in systems of ultracold bosonic atoms with repulsive interactions in open optical lattices without disorder. We show that exponential localization occurs in the maximally…
Quantum hardware increasingly relies on energy reserves that can later be converted into useful work; yet, most battery-like proposals demand coherent drives or engineered non-equilibrium resources, limiting practicality in noisy settings.…
