Functionals of the meta-generalized gradient approximation (MGGA) are nowadays widely used in chemistry and solid-state physics for the simulation of electronic systems like molecules, solids, or surfaces. Due to their dependency on the…
It is argued that final state enhancements in production reactions at large momentum transfers, such as pp -> K^+ Lambda p, are primarily sensitive to the position of a virtual bound state pole in the Lambda p system rather than the Lambda…

The total cross section for the pp to pp $\pi^0$ reaction at energies close to threshold is calculated in a covariant one-boson-exchange model. The amplitudes for the elementary BN to N$\pi^0$ processes are taken to be the sum of s, u and t…
We study a system of diffusing point particles in which any triplet of particles reacts and is removed from the system when the relative proximity of the constituent particles satisfies a predefined condition. Proximity-based reaction…

A quantum state can be written in phase space, but the resulting object is not generally the probability density of a positive stochastic process on ordinary phase space. We spell this out for Wigner dynamics. If a positive phase-space…
A mixed quantal-semiquantal theory is presented in which the semiquantal squeezed-state wave packet describes the heavy degrees of freedom. We first derive mean-field equations of motion from the time-dependent variational principle. Then,…
Extracting the outcome of a quantum computation is a difficult task. In many cases, the quantum phase estimation algorithm is used to digitally encode a value in a quantum register whose amplitudes' magnitudes reflect the discrete sinc…
