Strong quantum zero-point motion (ZPM) of light nuclei and other particles is a crucial aspect of many state-of-the-art quantum materials. However, it has only recently begun to be explored from an $\textit{ab initio}$ perspective, through…
In this paper we demonstrate that the selection of events with different multiplicities of produced particles, leads to the violation of the azimuthal angular symmetry, $\phi \to \pi - \phi$. We find for LHC and lower energies, that this…
We re-examine neutrino oscillations in the early universe. Contrary to previous studies, we show that large neutrino asymmetries can arise due to oscillations between ordinary neutrinos and sterile neutrinos. This means that the Big Bang…
We explain the origin of the puzzling high frequency peaks (QPOs) in the variability power spectra of accreting neutron stars and black holes as a non-linear 1:2 or 1:3 resonance between orbital and radial epicyclic motion. These resonances…
Nonlinear localized excitations in one-dimensional diatomic lattices with cubic and quartic nonlinearity are considered analytically by a quasi-discreteness approach. The criteria for the occurence of asymmetric gap solitons (with vibrating…
Lattice vibrations within crystalline solids, or phonons, provide information on a variety of important material characteristics, from thermal qualities to optical properties and phase transition behaviour. When the material contains light…
The isoscalar giant resonances for $^{86}\textrm{Ge}$ are studied by the quasiparticle finite amplitude method based on the covariant density functional theory. In addition to the well-known monopole-quadrupole coupling that splits the…
We use extensive first-principles quantum mechanical calculations to show that, although the static lattice and harmonic vibrational energies are almost identical, the anharmonic vibrational energy of hexagonal ice is significantly lower…
The current-induced vibrational dynamics is a key factor determining the stability of molecular nanojunctions. Beyond conventional Joule heating, a different mechanism caused by nonconservative current-induced forces has been predicted for…
Quantal effects on growth of spinodal instabilities in charge asymmetric nuclear matter are investigated in the framework of a stochastic mean field approach. Due to quantal effects, in both symmetric and asymmetric matter, dominant…
We study the couplings between collective vibrations such as the isovector giant dipole and isoscalar giant quadrupole resonances in tin isotopes in the framework of the time-dependent Hartree-Fock theory with a Skyrme energy density…
A nonperturbative theory of multiphonon anharmonic decay of strongly excited local mode is developed whereby the mode is considered classically and phonons, quantum mechanically. The decay rate of the mode is expressed via the negative…
Anharmonicity and local disorder (polymorphism) are ubiquitous in perovskite physics, inducing various phenomena observed in scattering and spectroscopy experiments. Several of these phenomena still lack interpretation from first-principles…
The dissipative quantum dynamics of an anharmonic oscillator is investigated theoretically in the context of carbon-based nano-mechanical systems. In the short-time limit, it is known that macroscopic superposition states appear for such…
While bulk properties of stable nuclei are successfully reproduced by mean-field theories employing effective interactions, the dependence of the centroid energy of the electric giant dipole resonance on the nucleon number A is not. This…
In quantum dots or molecules with vibrational degrees of freedom the electron-vibron coupling renormalizes the electronic charging energy. For sufficiently strong coupling, the renormalized charging energy can become negative. Here, we…
We discuss decoherence in charge qubits formed by multiple lateral quantum dots in the framework of the spin-boson model and the Born-Markov approximation. We consider the intrinsic decoherence caused by the coupling to bulk phonon modes.…
We study the impact of phonon anharmonicity on the electronic dynamics of soft materials using a nonperturbative quantum-classical approach. The method is applied to a one-dimensional model of doped organic semiconductors with low-frequency…
We discuss anharmonicity of the multi-octupole-phonon states in $^{208}$Pb based on a covariant density functional theory, by fully taking into account the interplay between the quadrupole and the octupole degrees of freedom. Our results…
Experimental and theoretical efforts are being devoted to the study of observables that can shed light on the properties of the nuclear symmetry energy. We present our new results on the excitation energy [X. Roca-Maza et al., Phys. Rev. C…
