Tricritical dynamics in - mixtures and QCD
Maneesha Pradeep, Johannes V. Roth, Lorenz von Smekal
In this paper we study the universal critical dynamics near the tricritical points in - mixtures and QCD with two massless quark flavors. In particula…
Theoretical Review of Critical Point Predictions
Maneesha Sushama Pradeep
This review summarizes recent theoretical progress on the QCD equation of state near the critical point and developments in the maximum entropy freeze-out framework, which provides…
Equation of state and cumulants of proton multiplicity in equilibrium near critical point from Pade estimates
Gokce Basar, Maneesha Pradeep, Mikhail Stephanov
The fluctuations of proton multiplicity in heavy-ion collisions are the key observables in the search for the QCD critical point. In this work we present an approach to constrainin…
Quantifying fluctuation signatures of the QCD critical point using maximum entropy freeze-out
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Krishna Rajagopal +2
A key question about the QCD phase diagram is whether there is a critical point somewhere on the boundary between the hadronic and quark-gluon plasma phases, and if so where. Heavy…
Critical slowing down and bulk viscosity in binary neutron star mergers
Jamie M. Karthein, Maneesha Sushama Pradeep, Rachel Steinhorst
Hydrodynamic simulations of neutron star mergers rely on the clear separation between the strong-interaction, weak-interaction, and hydrodynamic timescales. In this effective frame…
Practical limitations of the switching theorem for adiabatic state preparation
Thomas D. Cohen, Andrew Li, Hyunwoo Oh +1
The viability of adiabatic quantum computation depends on the slow evolution of the Hamiltonian. The adiabatic switching theorem provides an asymptotic series for error estimates i…
