Advances in isolating, controlling and entangling quantum systems are transforming what
was once a curious feature of quantum mechanics into a vehicle for disruptive scientific and …

A review is given of various theoretical approaches for the equation of state (EoS) of dense
matter, relevant for the description of core-collapse supernovae, compact stars, and compact …

We report a quantum simulation of the deuteron binding energy on quantum processors
accessed via cloud servers. We use a Hamiltonian from pionless effective field theory at …

The nuclear matrix elements that govern the rate of neutrinoless double beta decay must be
accurately calculated if experiments are to reach their full potential. Theorists have been …

This review examines the tendency of light nuclei to exhibit clustering, where correlations
between nucleons result in the formation of precipitates, typically α particles. The …

Quantum Monte Carlo methods have proved valuable to study the structure and reactions of
light nuclei and nucleonic matter starting from realistic nuclear interactions and currents …

In the past decade, coupled-cluster theory has seen a renaissance in nuclear physics, with
computations of neutron-rich and medium-mass nuclei. The method is efficient for nuclei …

We propose a novel storage scheme for three-nucleon (3N) interaction matrix elements
relevant for the normal-ordered two-body approximation used extensively in ab initio …

The variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) is an algorithm to compute ground and excited
state energy of quantum many-body systems. A key component of the algorithm and an …
