In spin-based quantum information processing devices, the presence of control and detection circuitry can change the local environment of a spin by introducing strain and electric fields, altering its resonant frequencies. These resonance…
We review recent progress in the understanding of the spin structure of the nucleon. For the free nucleon the issues addressed include the status of the Bjorken and Ellis-Jaffe sum-rules and the role of the axial anomaly. We outline recent…
The decay $\mu^-\to e^- \bar{\nu}_e\nu_\mu$ of a muon that is bound to a nucleus poses an unavoidable background for experiments such as Mu2e, COMET, and DeeMe searching for lepton-flavor-violating $\mu^-\to e^-$ conversion and thus…

The magnetic properties of a nanoscale system are inextricably linked to its local environment. In ad-atoms on surfaces and inorganic layered structures the exchange interactions result from the relative lattice positions, layer thicknesses…
A major challenge in using spins in the solid state for quantum technologies is protecting them from sources of decoherence. This can be addressed, to varying degrees, by improving material purity or isotopic composition for example, or…
The use of spin echoes to refocus one spin interactions (chemical shifts) and two spin interactions (spin-spin couplings) plays a central role in both conventional NMR experiments and NMR quantum computation. Here we describe schemes for…

In quasi-fission, it is unclear what the interaction between the relative orbital angular momentum and the spin of the fragments is from a microscopic perspective. In macroscopic approaches, it is expected that the large value of the…

Many approaches to nucleon-nucleus elastic and inelastic scattering are based on the use of the free-space nucleon-nucleon transition amplitude. In calculations where the full spin-dependence of this amplitude is needed, its use is more…
This work evaluates the model dependence of the electric and Coulomb quadrupole amplitudes (E2, C2) in the predominantly M1 (magnetic dipole-quark spin flip) gamma* N -> Delta transition. Both the model-to-model dependence and the intrinsic…
A Skyrme-type momentum-dependent nucleon-nucleon force distinguishing isospin effect is parameterized and further implemented in the Lanzhou Quantum Molecular Dynamics (LQMD) model for the first time, which leads to a splitting of nucleon…
We study $\mu - e$ conversion with sequential four generations. A large mass for the fourth generation neutrino can enhance the conversion rate by orders of magnitude. We compare constraints obtained from $\mu - e$ conversion using…

We study the twist-3 spin-orbit correlations of quarks described by the nucleon matrix elements of the parity-odd rank-2 tensor QCD operator (the parity-odd partner of the QCD energy-momentum tensor). Our treatment is based on the effective…
We propose an effective current operator for nucleon electromagnetic knockout that incorporates spinor distortion and density-dependent nucleon form factors using an effective momentum approximation. This method can be used in a…
