Background. One important ingredient for many applications of nuclear physics to astrophysics, nuclear energy, and stockpile stewardship are cross sections for reactions of neutrons with rare isotopes. Since direct measurements are often…
We formulate and implement a microscopic framework to derive an optical potential from the solution to an effective Hamiltonian and use it to calculate neutron scattering cross sections for the deformed nuclei $^{24}$Mg, $^{48}$Cr and…
We consider a method of high-fidelity, spatially resolved position measurement of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. We show that the atom-number distribution can be nondestructively determined at a spatial resolution beyond the…

Orbital angular momentum (OAM), a topological degree of freedom of light, is theoretically invariant under continuous deformations; yet, its physical observability degrades precipitously in complex media, creating a fundamental…

We derive local microscopic optical potentials $U$ systematically for polarized proton scattering at 65~MeV using the local-potential version of the Melbourne $g$-matrix folding model. As target nuclei, we take $^{6}$He and neutron-rich Ne…
Previous studies have used numerical methods to optimize the hyperpolarizability of a one-dimensional quantum system. These studies were used to suggest properties of one-dimensional organic molecules, such as the degree of modulation of…
An orthonormal basis consisting of unentangled (pure tensor) elements in a tensor product of Hilbert spaces is an Unentangled Orthogonal Basis (UOB). In general, for $n$ qubits, we prove that in its natural structure as a real variety, the…
We investigate the nonlocality in microscopic optical potentials derived from chiral effective field theory. For this purpose we employ the Perey-Buck ansatz, which connects the energy dependence of purely local optical potentials to a…
The nonelastic breakup (NEB), one of channels in $(d,p)$ inclusive reactions, is studied using the Faddeev-type scattering theory. The NEB differential cross section is obtained in terms of the imaginary part of the neutron-nucleus optical…

We investigate a relativistic quantum field theory in the particle representation using a non-perturbative variational technique. The theory is that of two massive scalar particles, `nucleons' and `mesons', interacting via a Yukawa…
Optical potentials are a standard tool in the study of nuclear reactions, as they describe the interaction between a target nucleus and a projectile. The use of phenomenological optical potentials built using experimental data on stable…
Gaussian particles provide a flexible framework for modelling and simulating three-dimensional star-shaped random sets. In our framework, the radial function of the particle arises from a kernel smoothing, and is associated with an…
Complex potentials are constructed as Darboux-deformations of short range, radial nonsingular potentials. They behave as optical devices which both refracts and absorbs light waves. The deformation preserves the initial spectrum of energies…
By examining the structure in momentum and coordinate space of a two-body interaction spherically symmetric in its local coordinate, we demonstrate that it can be disentangled into two distinctive contributions. One of them is a…
Since various structural components of planetary nebulae manifest themselves differently, a combination of optical, infrared, submm, and radio techniques is needed to derive a complete picture of planetary nebulae. The effects of projection…
