Force-matched water models provide a practical route from first-principles reference data to long classical and path-integral molecular simulations. Previous flexible four-site potentials in the spirit of q-TIP4P/F showed that fitting…
This work addresses the question of whether it is possible to define simple pair-wise interaction terms to approximate free energies of proteins or polymers. Rather than ask how reliable a potential of mean force is, one can ask how…

Overlap between Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov(HFB) vacua is very important in the beyond mean-field calculations. However, in the HFB transformation, the $U,V$ matrices are sometimes singular due to the exact emptiness ($v_i=0$) or full…
The pairing gap plays a fundamental role in the nuclear many-body problem and many large scale and accurate mass formula fits suggest the smooth nuclear mass dependence $\Delta \sim 6(1)~ A^{-1/3}~{\rm MeV}$ in the liquid drop model which…
In a recent paper we studied the behavior of the pairing gaps $\Delta_F$ as a function of the Fermi momentum $k_F$ for neutron and nuclear matter in all relevant angular momentum channels where superfluidity is believed to naturally emerge.…
The Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov approximation is very useful for treating both long- and short-range correlations in finite quantum fermion systems, but it must be extended in order to describe detailed spectroscopic properties. One problem is…
We present a new semiclassical theory for describing pairing in finite Fermi systems. It is based on taking the $\hbar \to 0$, i.e. Thomas-Fermi, limit of the gap equation written in the basis of the mean field (weak coupling). In addition…
We introduce a general physical formulation that allows one to obtain uniquely the effectiveinteractions by contracting the bare forces, even in highly concentrated systems. We tested it bystudying depletion forces in two-dimensional binary…
The 1S0 pairing gap in isospin-symmetric nuclear matter and finite nuclei is investigated using the chiral nucleon-nucleon potential at the N3LO order in the two-body sector, and the N2LO order in the three-body sector. To include realistic…
The properties of dynamic (least action) fission paths are analyzed and compared to the ones of the more traditional static (least energy) paths. Both the BCPM and Gogny D1M energy density functionals are used in the calculation of the HFB…

The structure and density dependence of the pairing gap in infinite matter is relevant for astrophysical phenomena and provides a starting point for the discussion of pairing properties in nuclear structure. Short-range correlations can…
Complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) computations can be realized at polynomial cost via the variational optimization of the active-space two-electron reduced-density matrix (2-RDM). Like conventional approaches to CASSCF,…
