Real-time simulations of nuclear reactions are classically intractable due to exponential scaling. By adopting a first-quantized formulation of pionless effective field theory, we show that quantum computers can simulate such dynamics efficiently, with costs that grow only polynomially in nucleon number and logarithmically with basis size. The approach demonstrates an exponential saving over...
In this talk I will discuss the dynamics of Heavy Quarks in the initial gluon-dominated phase of heavy ion collisions, called Glasma. I will first highlight the effect of such phase on the color de-correlation of Heavy Quark pairs, as shown by numerical studies in a 2+1D framework. Then, moving on to 3+1D studies, I discuss the effect of rapidity-dependent fluctuations on the momentum shift of...
A key objective in heavy-flavour studies is to quantify the interaction between heavy quarks (HQs) and the quark-gluon plasma (QGP) via the spatial diffusion coefficient $D_s(T)$. Recent lattice QCD results with dynamical fermions suggest a notably low value of $2\pi T D_s \approx 1$ at $T_c$ for charm quarks—much lower than quenched QCD and phenomenological models, which predict $2\pi T D_s...
Nuclear effects in neutrino-nucleus scattering are one of the main sources of uncertainty in the analysis of neutrino oscillation experiments. Due to the extended neutrino energy distribution, very different reaction mechanisms contribute to the cross section at the same time. Measurements of muon momentum in CC0π events are very important for experiments like T2K, where most of the...
