Measurement and microscopic description of odd–even staggering of charge radii of exotic copper isotopes

RP De Groote, J Billowes, CL Binnersley, ML Bissell… - Nature Physics, 2020 - nature.com
Nuclear charge radii globally scale with atomic mass number A as A 1∕ 3, and isotopes
with an odd number of neutrons are usually slightly smaller in size than their even-neutron …

Nuclear shell-model simulation in digital quantum computers

A Pérez-Obiol, AM Romero, J Menéndez, A Rios… - Scientific Reports, 2023 - nature.com
The nuclear shell model is one of the prime many-body methods to study the structure of
atomic nuclei, but it is hampered by an exponential scaling on the basis size as the number …
