Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

The recent success in quantum annealing, ie, optimization of the cost or energy functions of
complex systems utilizing quantum fluctuations is reviewed here. The concept is introduced …

The discovery and investigation of the new region of superheavy nuclei at the DGFRS
separator based on fusion reactions of 48 Ca with 238 U–249 Cf target nuclei are reviewed …

LANTHANIDE AND ACTINIDE CHEMISTRY Lanthanides and actinides, also known as “f
elements,” are a group of metals which share certain important properties and aspects of …

The discovery of a new chemical element with atomic number Z= 117 is reported. The
isotopes 1 293 17 and 1 294 17 were produced in fusion reactions between Ca 48 and Bk …

Nuclear reactions leading to the formation of new superheavy (SH) elements and isotopes
are discussed in the paper.“Cold” and “hot” synthesis, fusion of fission fragments, transfer …

We describe the discoveries of new superheavy nuclei (a) with Z= 107–112 produced in
cold fusion reactions between 208Pb and 209Bi and beams of A> 50 and (b) with Z= 113 …

Results from the production and decay properties of element 115 nuclei observed using the
reaction 243 Am+ 48 Ca at various beam energies between November 1, 2010, and …

After Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev and, independently, Julius Lothar Meyer, and others
discovered the ordering principles of the elements, Mendeleev proposed the first valid …

An isotope of the 113th element, ie, 278 113, was produced in a nuclear reaction with a 70
Zn beam on a 209 Bi target. We observed six consecutive α-decays following the …
