In high-energy heavy-ion physics experiments, a state of matter is created that existed in the early Universe: the quark-gluon plasma. This strongly interacting matter exists in today's experiments only within a range of a few femtometers…
During the recent decade a steadily increasing number of papers devoted to so-called "quantum dusty plasmas" (QDP) appeared. These systems are combining the properties of dusty (i.e. micrometer to nanometer-sized particles containing)…
Coulomb interactions that occur in electronic structure calculations are correlated by allowing basis function components of the interacting densities to polarize, thereby reducing the magnitude of the interaction. Exchange integrals of…
