Single-step Quantum Simulation of Two Nucleons
Bhoomika Maheshwari, Paul Stevenson, P. Van Isacker
Quantum computing offers a scalable approach to solving the nuclear shell model, a highly complex and exponentially scaled many-body problem. This work presents a numerical simulat…
Understanding Charge Radii with Machine Learning: Discovering Physics Expressions
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker
We introduce a robust, interpretable machine learning (ML) framework that combines numerical regression for high-accuracy predictions with symbolic regression to uncover the underl…
Origin of the electric hexadecapole isomer in Mo
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of Mo to investigate the unusual behavior of its isomer -- a prominent candidate for nuclear excitation by electronic capture. T…
Quantifying neutron-proton interactions in isotones: from NEEC candidate Mo to Cd
B. Maheshwari, P. Van Isacker, P. M. Walker
We present a shell-model analysis of isotones, Mo, Ru, Pd, and Cd, to quantify the role of neutron-proton interactions in shaping the location an…
