We study the dynamical response of a system to a sudden change of the tuning parameter $\lambda$ starting (or ending) at the quantum critical point. In particular we analyze the scaling of the excitation probability, number of excited…
Merits and faults of the effective theory Random Phase Approximations are discussed in the perspective of its use in the prediction of neutrino-nucleus cross sections.
In light of the forthcoming high precision quasielastic electron scattering data from Jefferson Lab, it is timely for the various approaches to nuclear structure to make robust predictions for the associated response functions. With this in…
I quickly review the successes of quantum chromodynamics. Then I assess the current state of the electroweak theory, making brief comments about the search for the Higgs boson and some of the open issues for the theory. I sketch the…
We present possible manifestations of octahedral and tetrahedral symmetries in nuclei. These symmetries are associated with the OhD and TdD double point groups. Both of them have very characteristic finger-prints in terms of the nucleonic…
We consider a pair of atoms in an arbitrary trapping potential in the presence of magnetically tunable Feshbach resonance. We find the energy levels and occupation of the bound molecular states taking into account possible coupling between…
Global symmetries and symmetry breaking patterns of QCD with light quarks, in particular chiral symmetry, provide basic guidance not only for low-energy hadron physics but also for nuclear forces and the nuclear many-body problem. Recent…
The nucleus is a correlated open quantum many-body system. The presence of states that are unbound to particle emission may have significant impact on spectroscopic properties of nuclei, especially those close to the particle drip lines. In…

Model calculations of nuclear properties are peformed using quantum computing algorithms on simulated and real quantum computers. The models are a realistic calculation of deuteron binding based on effective field theory, and a simplified…
In nuclear physics, the relativistic mean-field theory describes the nucleus as a system of Dirac nucleons which interact via meson fields. In a static case and without nonlinear self-coupling of the $\sigma$ meson, the relativistic…
These lecture notes address a central problem of theoretical nuclear physics: how to establish a relationship between low-energy, non-perturbative QCD and nuclear phenomenology which includes both nuclear matter and finite nuclei. We…
Bulk nuclear observables such as charge radii and binding energies are well described by both nonrelativistic and covariant mean-field models. However, predictions of neutron radii, which are not tightly constrained by reliable data, vary…
A brief overview is given of the Continuum Shell Model, a novel approach that extends the traditional nuclear shell model into the domain of unstable nuclei and nuclear reactions. While some of the theoretical aspects, such as role and…
The quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which has been successfully used to describe the properties of both finite nuclei and infinite nuclear matter, is applied to a study of $\Lambda$ hypernuclei. With the assumption that the…
We discuss an approach for studying the properties of mesoscopic systems, where discrete and continuum parts of the spectrum are equally important. The approach can be applied (i) to stable heavy nuclei and complex atoms near the continuum…
We develop a diagrammatic approach for solving few-body problems in heteronuclear fermionic mixtures near a narrow interspecies Feshbach resonance. We calculate s-, p-, and d-wave phaseshifts for the scattering of an atom by a weakly-bound…
We provide an overview of experiments exploring resonances in the collision of ultracold clouds of atoms. Using a laser-based accelerator that capitalizes on the energy resolution provided by the ultracold atomic setting, we unveil…
Ultracold atomic gases have realised numerous paradigms of condensed matter physics where control over interactions has crucially been afforded by tunable Feshbach resonances. So far, the characterisation of these Feshbach resonances has…
The relativistic mean field approach, within a theoretical framework known as the chiral confining model incorporating chiral symmetry breaking and quark confinement effects, is applied for the first time to finite nuclei. Model parameters…
