We introduce a system of pulse coupled oscillators that can change both their phases and frequencies; and prove that when there is a separation of time scales between phase and frequency adjustment the system converges to exact synchrony on…

Penrose has been advocating the view that the collapse of the wave function is rooted in the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics. On the basis of conceptual analysis, he arrived at an estimate for the collapse…

Real-time coupled cluster (CC) methods have several advantages over their frequency-domain counterparts, namely, response and equation of motion CC theories. Broadband spectra, strong fields, and pulse manipulation allow for the simulation…
