Large Amplitude Collective Motion and Dissipation in the Ground State and the First Isomeric Wells in the Neutron-Induced Fission of U
Ibrahim Abdurrahman, Matthew Kafker, Aurel Bulgac +1
In fission induced by low energy neutrons, the mother nucleus spends a significant fraction of the time in the ground state and isomer wells, eventually passing beyond the outer ba…
Influence of the Exit Channel in U(n,f) and Pu(n,f) Reactions in Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory
Ibrahim Abdurrahman, Matthew Kafker, Aurel Bulgac +1
This study investigates the consequences of the intrinsic deformation of the fissioning nuclear system near the outer saddle point on the shape evolution of the nucleus from saddle…
Solving reaction dynamics with quantum computing algorithms
Ronen Weiss, Alessandro Baroni, Joseph Carlson +1
The description of quantum many-body dynamics is extremely challenging on classical computers, as it can involve many degrees of freedom. On the other hand, the time evolution of q…
Time Evolution of Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Cf(sf) and U(,f) Reactions
Patrick Talou, Amy E. Lovell, Ionel Stetcu +3
We investigate the time evolution of prompt fission emission due to the presence of ns to ms isomers in the fragments produced in the neutron-induced fission of U…
Simplified projection on total spin zero for state preparation on quantum computers
Evan Rule, Ionel Stetcu, Joseph Carlson
We introduce a simple algorithm for projecting on states of a many-body system by performing a series of rotations to remove states with angular momentum projections greater…
