Nuclei exhibit both single-particle and collective degrees of freedom, with the latter often subdivided into vibrational and rotational motions. Experimentally identifying the relative roles of these collective modes is extremely…

Entanglement entropy is often speculated as a strong candidate for the origin of the black-hole entropy. To judge whether this speculation is true or not, it is effective to investigate the whole structure of thermodynamics obtained from…
Level density $\rho(E,N,Z)$ is calculated for the two-component close- and open-shell nuclei with a given energy $E$, and neutron $N$ and proton $Z$ numbers, taking into account pairing effects within the microscopic-macroscopic approach…
Manipulating many body quantum systems is a challenge. A useful way to achieve it would be to entangle the system to a diluted system, with a small particle number. Preparation of such entangled states can be facilitated as ground state of…
The rotating nuclei represent one of most interesting subjects for theoretical and experimental studies. They open a new dimension of nuclear landscape, namely, spin direction. Contrary to the majority of nuclear systems, their properties…
