Infrared divergences from the exchange of dynamically screened magnetic gluons (photons) lead to the breakdown of the Fermi liquid description of the {\em normal} state of cold and dense QCD and QED. We implement a resummation of these…
The electric quadrupole transitions between $0^+$, $2^+$, and $4^+$ states in $^{12}$C are investigated in a $3\alpha$ model. The three-body wave functions are obtained by means of the hyperspherical adiabatic expansion method, and the…
Understanding the role of multi-nucleon correlations in the structure of light nuclei is at the forefront of modern nuclear science. In this letter, we present a quantitative benchmark study of alpha-cluster correlations in the ground…
The Jaynes-Cummings model (JCM), one of the paradigms of quantum electrodynamics, was introduced to describe interaction between light and a fictitious two-level atom. Recently it was suggested that the JCM Hamiltonian can be invoked to…
We propose using the wave function generated by the quantum selected configuration interaction (QSCI) method as the trial wave function in phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (ph-AFQMC). In the QSCI framework, electronic…
Conformal field theories do not only classify 2D classical critical behavior but they also govern a certain class of 2D quantum critical behavior. In this latter case it is the ground state wave functional of the quantum theory that is…
Phaseless auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC) has in several cases been found to perform well on strongly correlated systems. Here, we benchmark the method for three iron-sulfur clusters ([2Fe-2S], [4Fe-4S], and the FeMo cofactor)…
Clustering plays an important role in the structure of nuclei, especially for light nuclei in the $p$-shell. In nuclear cluster models these degrees of freedom are introduced explicitly. In the Resonating Group Method or in the Generator…
Direct evidence of the $\alpha$-cluster manifestation in bound states has not been obtained yet, although a number of experimental studies were carried out to extract the information of the clustering. In particular in conventional analyses…
The dynamics of an ensemble of $N$ weakly coupled limit-cycle oscillators can be captured by their $N$ phases using standard phase reduction techniques. However, it is a phenomenological fact that all-to-all strongly coupled limit-cycle…
We compare the accuracy of published formulae that transform the linear perturbation theory power spectrum into the nonlinear regime against the results of an ensemble of large N-body simulations. We find that the modified transformation…
The coherent state representations of the group $G = W_1 \otimes G_0$ (where $G_0 = SU(2), SU(1,1)$) are used in computer simulation of the dynamics of single two-level atom $(G_0 = SU(2))$ interacting with a quantized photon cavity mode -…
We present an overview of recent results and developments of the no-core shell model (NCSM), an ab initio approach to the nuclear many-body problem for light nuclei. In this approach, we start from realistic two-nucleon or two- plus…
We study the zero-temperature quantum phase transition between liquid and hcp solid helium-4. We use the variational method with a simple yet exchange-symmetric and fully explicit wavefunction. It is found that the optimized wavefunction…
It is shown that the single $0^+$ THSR (Tohsaki-Horiuchi-Schuck-R\"{o}pke) wave function which is extended to include 2$\alpha$ correlation is almost completely equivalent to the 3$\alpha$ wave function obtained as the full solution of…
The Woods-Saxon-Gaussian (WSG) potential is proposed as a new phenomenological potential to describe systematically the level scheme, electromagnetic transitions, and alpha-decay half-lives of the alpha-cluster structures in various…
Finding the best model to describe the {\alpha}-decay process is an old and ongoing challenge in nuclear physics. The present work systematically studied {\alpha}-decay half-lives for the favored ground-state-to-ground-state transitions of…
We demonstrate a mechanism for reconciling high confinement with heat exhaust in fusion plasmas. Global fluid turbulence simulations of the Quasicontinuous Exhaust regime in the ASDEX Upgrade tokamak show that a quasi-coherent mode (QCM)…
We realize the treatment of bound and continuum nuclear systems in the proximity of a three-body breakup threshold within the ab initio framework of the no-core shell model with continuum. Many-body eigenstates obtained from the…
