Ab initio symmetry-adapted approaches to nuclear reactions

Kristina D Launey, Grigor H. Sargsyan, Alexis Mercenne +2

In this review, we discuss recent applications of the ab initio symmetry-adapted no-core shell-model (SA-NCSM) theory for study and prediction of structure and reactions of stable…

Motivations for Early High-Profile FRIB Experiments

B. Alex Brown, Alexandra Gade, S. Ragnar Stroberg +39

This white paper is the result of a collaboration by those that attended a workshop at the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB), organized by the FRIB Theory Alliance (FRIB-TA),…

Efficacy of the symmetry-adapted basis for ab initio nucleon-nucleus interactions for light- and intermediate-mass nuclei

Alexis Mercenne, Kristina D. Launey, Tomas Dytrych +4

We study the efficacy of a new ab initio framework that combines the symmetry-adapted (SA) no-core shell-model approach with the resonating group method (RGM) for unified descripti…

New symmetry-adapted ab initio approach to nuclear reactions for intermediate-mass nuclei

Alexis Mercenne, Kristina D. Launey, Jutta E. Escher +2

With a view toward describing reactions of intermediate-mass nuclei from first principles, we present first results for the norm and Hamiltonian overlaps (kernels) for the p-α, p-…

Efficacious qubit mappings for quantum simulations of the C rotational band

Darin C. Mumma, Zhonghao Sun, Alexis Mercenne +3

Solving atomic nuclei from first principles places enormous demands on computational resources, which grow exponentially with increasing number of particles and the size of the spa…

Quantum Information Science and Technology for Nuclear Physics. Input into U.S. Long-Range Planning, 2023

Douglas Beck, Joseph Carlson, Zohreh Davoudi +98

In preparation for the 2023 NSAC Long Range Plan (LRP), members of the Nuclear Science community gathered to discuss the current state of, and plans for further leveraging opportun…
