Comparison of ablators for the polar direct drive exploding pusher platform
Heather D. Whitley, G. Elijah Kemp, Charles Yeamans +36
We examine the performance of pure boron, boron carbide, high density carbon, and boron nitride ablators in the polar direct drive exploding pusher (PDXP) platform. The platform us…
A linear time quantum algorithm for 3SAT using irreversible quantum operations
Zachary B. Walters
The Deutsch model of quantum computation is extended to allow for thermodynamically irreversible operations by allowing the system of interest to interact with an outside reservoir…
Strong Field Ionization as an Inhomogeneous Schroedinger Equation
Zachary B. Walters, Jan-Michael Rost
Strong field ionization is difficult to treat theoretically due to the simultaneous need to treat bound state dynamics accurately and continuum dynamics efficiently. We address thi…
Quantum dynamics of the avian compass
Zachary B. Walters
The ability of migratory birds to orient relative to the Earth's magnetic field is believed to involve a coherent superposition of two spin states of a radical electron pair. Howev…
An efficient parallel method for relaxing to the minimum action wavefunction
Zachary B. Walters
Efficient and accurate numerical propagation of the time dependent Schroedinger equation is a problem with applications across a wide range of physics. This paper develops an effic…
Quantum Coherent Dynamics at Ambient Temperature in Photosynthetic Molecules
Zachary B. Walters
Photosynthetic antenna complexes are responsible for absorbing energy from sunlight and transmitting it to remote locations where it can be stored. Recent experiments have found th…
Efficient wavefunction propagation by minimizing accumulated action
Zachary B. Walters
This paper presents a new technique to calculate the evolution of a quantum wavefunction in a chosen spatial basis by minimizing the accumulated action. Introduction of a finite te…
Vibrational interference of Raman and high-harmonic generation pathways
Zachary B. Walters, Stefano Tonzani, Chris H. Greene
Experiments have shown that the internal vibrational state of a molecule can affect the intensity of high harmonic light generated from that molecule. This paper presents a model w…
Limits of the Plane Wave Approximation in the Measurement of Molecular Properties
Zachary B. Walters, Stefano Tonzani, Chris H. Greene
Rescattering electrons offer great potential as probes of molecular properties on ultrafast timescales. The most famous example is molecular tomography, in which high harmonic spec…
Interaction of intense vuv radiation with large xenon clusters
Zachary B. Walters, Robin Santra, Chris H. Greene
The interaction of atomic clusters with short, intense pulses of laser light to form extremely hot, dense plasmas has attracted extensive experimental and theoretical interest. The…
