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…

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…
