An approach for calculating astrophysical opacities on quantum computers
Shivesh Pathak, Alina Kononov, Andrew D. Baczewski
We propose a quantum algorithmic protocol for calculating astrophysical opacities. Our implementation uses first- and second-quantized representations of interacting electronic and…
Capturing many-body effects in electrical conductivity of warm dense matter
Brian P. Robinson, Alina Kononov, Lucas J. Stanek +3
Conductivity models for warm dense matter inform simulations of planetary structure and fusion experiments. State-of-the-art conductivity calculations based on density functional t…
Roadmap for warm dense matter physics
Jan Vorberger, Frank Graziani, David Riley +71
This roadmap presents the state-of-the-art, current challenges and near future developments anticipated in the thriving field of warm dense matter physics. Originating from strongl…
Real-time time-dependent density functional theory for high-energy density physics
Alina Kononov, Minh Nguyen, Andrew D. Baczewski
Electronic response properties of high-energy density (HED) systems influence planetary structure, drive evolution of fusion targets, and underpin diagnostics in laboratory astroph…
Nonlinear effects in light-ion stopping powers within real-time time-dependent density functional theory
Alina Kononov, Thomas W. Hentschel, Stephanie B. Hansen +1
Electronic stopping power models describing fuel heating processes in inertial fusion energy concepts typically assume linear-response behavior through quadratic scaling with the p…
Statistical inference of collision frequencies from x-ray Thomson scattering spectra
Thomas W. Hentschel, Alina Kononov, Andrew D. Baczewski +1
Thomson scattering spectra measure the response of plasma particles to incident radiation. In warm dense matter, which is opaque to visible light, x-ray Thomson scattering (XRTS) e…
