Parametric Neural Quantum States for Nuclear Physics

Yukari Yamauchi, Ryan Curry, Garrett B. King +3

We introduce a new approach, based on neural quantum states (NQSs), to rapidly compute nuclear observables when couplings in nuclear Hamiltonians are varied. A single interaction-d…

The impact of dark matter on tidal signatures in neutron star mergers with Einstein Telescope

Hauke Koehn, Edoardo Giangrandi, Nina Kunert +3

If dark matter (DM) accumulates inside neutron stars (NS), it changes their internal structure and causes a shift of the tidal deformability from the value predicted by the dense-m…
