Nuclear binding energies and two-neutron separation energies are analyzed starting from the liquid-drop model and the nuclear shell model in order to describe the global trends of the above observables. We subsequently concentrate on the…
The structure of $1/2^{\pm}$ states in $^{13}$C up to around the $3\alpha+n$ threshold ($E_x = 12.3$~MeV) is investigated with a full four-body $3\alpha+n$ orthogonality condition model (OCM) calculation, where the $3\alpha$ OCM, the model…
We present shell model calculations for the beta-decay of the 14C ground state to the 14N ground state, treating the states of the A=14 multiplet as two 0p holes in an 16O core. We employ low-momentum nucleon-nucleon (NN) interactions…
We study the dynamics of two qubits separately sent through two coupled resonators, each initially containing a coherent state field. We present analytical arguments and numerical calculations for the qubit-field system under different…
High-spin spectroscopic study of $^{202}$Po ($Z$ = 84, $N$ = 118) has been carried out using the $^{195}$Pt($^{12}$C, 5n)$^{202}$Po fusion-evaporation reaction. An extended level scheme has been proposed up to an excitation energy of…

In Mott insulators with a half-filled $t_{2g}$ shell the Hund's rule coupling induces a spin-3/2 orbital-singlet ground state. The spin-orbit interaction is not expected to qualitatively impact low-energy degrees of freedom in such systems.…
We perform a systematic study of Gamow-Teller (GT) transitions in the 2p1f shell, using the nuclear shell model with two schematic Hamiltonians. The use of the shell model provides flexibility to analyze the role of different proton-neutron…
The electric quadrupole-quadrupole ($\mathcal{E}_{qq}$) interaction is believed to play an important role in the broken symmetry transition from Phase I to II in solid hydrogen. To evaluate this, we study structures adopted by purely…
