The Semimicroscopic Algebraic Cluster Model (SACM) is applied to 16O, assumed to consist of a system of four alpha-clusters. For the 4-alpha cluster system a microscopic model space is constructed, which observes the…

Charge density waves in the Hubbard chain are studied by means of finite-temperature Quantum Monte Carlo simulations and Lanczos diagonalizations for the ground state. We present results both for the charge susceptibilities and for the…
The elastic $\alpha$-$^{12}$C scattering at low energies is studied employing an effective field theory in which the $\alpha$ and $^{12}$C states are treated as elementary-like fields. We discuss scales of the theory at stellar energy…
We combine a recently developed ab initio many-body approach capable of describing simultaneously both bound and scattering states, the ab initio NCSM/RGM, with an importance truncation scheme for the cluster eigenstate basis and demostrate…
A cluster-transfer experiment of $^9\rm{Be}(^9\rm{Be},^{14}\rm{C}\rightarrow\alpha+^{10}\rm{Be})\alpha$ at an incident energy of 45 MeV was carried out in order to investigate the molecular structure in high-lying resonant states in…
We continue the investigations of the $^{16}$O ground state using the coupled-cluster expansion [$\exp({\bf S})$] method with realistic nuclear interaction. In this stage of the project, we take into account the three nucleon interaction,…
The $^{4}$He nucleus is a well bound and highly correlated four-nucleon system that is also found in form of $\alpha$-clusters as substructure in nuclear many-body systems. The standard single-particle shell model cannot represent these…
We investigate geometric configurations of $\alpha$ ($^4$He nucleus) clusters in the second $J^\pi=2^+$ state of $^{12}$C, which has been discussed as a rotational band member of the second $0^+$ state, the Hoyle state. The ground and…
The proton inelastic scattering of $^{24}$O($p,p'$) at 62 MeV/nucleon is described by a self-consistent microscopic calculation with the continuum particle-vibration coupling (cPVC) method. The SLy5, SkM*, and SGII parameters are adopted as…
$Background$: The $\alpha$-cluster model was successful for describing spectroscopic properties of light nuclei near the shell closures. Evidences of the $\alpha$-cluster structure in $^{94}$Mo were shown, motivating the search for the same…

Multi-center (molecular) structures can play an important role in light nuclei. The highly deformed rotational band in 10Be with band head at 6.179 MeV has been observed recently and suggested to have an exotic alpha:2n:alpha configuration.…

We numerically investigate the onset of multi-chimera states in a linear array of coupled oscillators. As the phase delay $\alpha$ is increased, they exhibit a continuous transition from the globally synchronized state to the multichimera…
A quantum-mechanical model of Cu-O-Cu-O four-center four-electron part of the copper-oxide plane embedded in a superconducting crystal La$_{2-x}$Sr$% _{x}$CuO$_{4}$ (LSCO) is considered. It is shown that displacing the nearest-neighbor…

It is a well-known fact that a cluster of nucleons can be formed in the interior of an atomic nucleus, and such clusters may occupy molecular-like orbitals, showing characteristics similar to normal molecules consisting of atoms. Chemical…
Verstraete, Dehaene, and De Moor (2003) showed that SLOCC invariants provide entanglement monotones. We observe that many highly entangled or useful four-qubit states that appear in prior literature are stationary points of such…
