Shell model calculations for the neutron-rich $N=126^{206}\mathrm{Hg}\text{\ensuremath{-}}^{197}\mathrm{Lu} (Z=80\ensuremath{-}71)$ isotones were performed with two different parametrizations. The one...

Last Thursday, my PhD student Khlood Alharthi had her viva.  I'm pleased to say that she did well, and has passed, subject to corrections.  ...

Uncertainty-quantified global optical potential parameterizations are useful for making systematic studies across the nuclear chart and making predictions away from stability. While they generally pro...

The collective structure of low-lying states in the $N=50$ nucleus $^{92}\mathrm{Mo}$ $(Z=42)$ has been investigated through sub-barrier Coulomb excitation using the CHICO2 device coupled to the $\ens...

We present a shell-model analysis of $N=51$ isotones, $^{93}\mathrm{Mo}, ^{95}\mathrm{Ru}, ^{97}\mathrm{Pd}$, and $^{99}\mathrm{Cd}$ to quantify the role of neutron-proton interactions in shaping the ...

We develop and demonstrate methods for simulating the scattering of particle wave packets in the interacting Thirring model on digital quantum computers, with hardware implementations on up to 80 qubi...

Nuclei are often viewed as drops of nuclear matter, but we also know that $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ clusters can play an important role in nuclear structure. A relativistic mean-field calculation of ${}^{...

The $\ensuremath{\gamma}$-ray strength function ($\ensuremath{\gamma}\mathrm{SF}$) is essential for understanding the electromagnetic response in atomic nuclei and modeling astrophysical neutron captu...

Quantum computing can potentially provide advantages for specific computational tasks. The simulation of fermionic systems is one such task that lends itself well to quantum computation, with applicat...

We present the first results of a comprehensive microscopic approach to describe nucleus-nucleus elastic collisions by means of an optical potential derived at first order in multiple-scattering theor...

Hamiltonian simulation on quantum computers is strongly constrained by gate counts, motivating techniques to reduce circuit depths. While tensor networks are natural competitors to quantum computers, ...

Low-energy fusion of heavy ions is a fascinating coupling-assisted quantum tunnelling problem, whose understanding is crucial for advancing the synthesis of new elements and isotopes. Quantum dynamica...
