In recent years local chiral interactions have been derived and implemented in quantum Monte Carlo methods order to test what extent the effective field theory framework impacts our knowledge of few- many-body systems. this Letter, we present Green's function calculations light nuclei based on family two-body presented by group a previous paper conjunction with three-body fitted bound- scattering-state observables three-nucleon sector. These include Δ intermediate states their...
In astrophysical scenarios with large neutrino density, like supernovae and the early universe, presence of neutrino-neutrino interactions can give rise to collective flavor oscillations in out-of-equilibrium dynamics a cloud. The role quantum correlations these phenomena is not yet well understood, part due complications solving for real-time evolution strongly coupled many-body system.

We explore the preparation of specific nuclear states on gate-based quantum hardware using variational algorithms. Large-scale classical diagonalizations shell model have reached sizes ${10}^{9}--{10}^{10}$ basis but are still severely limited by computational resources. Quantum computing can, in principle, solve such systems exactly with exponentially fewer resources than computing. Exact solutions for large require many qubits and gate depth, approaches can effectively limit required...
Ab initio calculations of the Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix elements in $\beta$ decays $^6$He and $^{10}$C electron captures $^7$Be are carried out using both variational Green's function Monte Carlo wave functions obtained from Argonne $v_{18}$ two-nucleon Illinois-7 three-nucleon interactions, axial many-body currents derived either meson-exchange phenomenology or chiral effective field theory. The agreement with experimental data is excellent for $^7$Be, while theory overestimates by $\sim...
The Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix element contributing to tritium $\beta$ decay is calculated with trinucleon wave functions obtained from hyperspherical-harmonics solutions of the Schr\"odinger equation chiral two- and three-nucleon interactions including $\Delta$ intermediate states that have recently been constructed in configuration space. Predictions up N3LO expansion axial current (with $\Delta$'s) overestimate empirical value by 1--4 \%. By exploiting relation between low-energy constant...

The derivation is based on time-ordered perturbation accounts for cancellations between the contributions of irreducible diagrams owing nonstatic corrections from energy denominators reducible diagrams. Ultraviolet divergencies associated with loop isolated dimensional regularization. resulting finite conserved limit, while requires renormalization. A complete set contact terms...
We study two different methods to prepare excited states on a quantum computer, key initial step dynamics within linear response theory. The first method uses unitary evolution for short time $T=\mathcal{O}(\sqrt{1-F})$ approximate the action of an excitation operator $\hat{O}$ with fidelity $F$ and success probability $P\approx1-F$. second probabilistically applies using Linear Combination Unitaries (LCU) algorithm. benchmark these techniques emulated real devices, toy model thermal...
We evaluate the Fermi and Gamow-Teller (GT) matrix elements in tritium $\beta$-decay by including charge-changing weak current corrections up to one loop recently derived nuclear chiral effective field theory ($\chi$ EFT). The trinucleon wave functions are obtained from hyperspherical-harmonics solutions of Schrodinger equation with two- three-nucleon potentials corresponding either $\chi$ EFT (the N3LO/N2LO combination) or meson-exchange phenomenology AV18/UIX combination). find that...
In this work we develop a Lorentz-covariant version of the previously derived formalism for relating finite-volume matrix elements to $\mathbf{2}+\mathcal{J}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\mathbf{2}$ transition amplitudes. We also give various details relevant implementation in realistic numerical lattice QCD calculation. Particular focus is given role single-particle form factors disentangling effects from triangle diagram that arise when $\mathcal{J}$ couples one two hadrons. This leads new...

This relation opens wide class of new observables numerical lattice QCD computations, such as Compton scattering mesons and nucleons, double beta decays, radiative corrections single decays hadrons stable under the strong interactions.
Weak interactions between quarks induce a parity-violating (PV) component in the nucleon-nucleon potential. This work exploits chiral effective field theory at next-to-next-to-leading order to construct this parity-nonconserving component. The potential obtained is used investigate several PV observables, including neutron-spin rotations scattering of polarized neutrons off protons and deuterons, longitudinal asymmetries proton-proton elastic ${}^{3}$He($\stackrel{P\vec}{n}$,$p$)${}^{3}$H...
