    Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) and Pairing in Nuclei

    Full text link
    A scheme for treating the pairing of nucleons in terms of generators of Quantum Group SU_{q}(2) is presented. The possible applications to nucleon pairs in a single orbit, multishell case, pairing vibrations and superconducting nuclei are discussed. The formalism for performing BCS calculations with q-deformed nucleon pairs is constructed and the role played by deformation parameter q analyzed in the context of nucleons in a single orbit and for Sn Isotopes.Comment: 6 Pages, No figures, To be published in Proceedings of International Conference "Geometrical Aspects of Quantum Fields", Londrina PR, April 2000, World Scientifi

    Revelation of double magicity in N=Z nuclei in the rp-process region

    Full text link
    In rapid-proton capture (rp-process), N=Z nuclei above Ni are understood to act as waiting-point nuclei. The N=Z nuclei 68Se, 72Kr, 76Sr and 80Zr among others are known to give rise to a large-energy x-ray flux and peaks in abundances of these nuclei synthesized in the astrophysical rp-process. Investigating the experimental isotope shifts in Kr isotopes near the proton drip-line within the framework of the deformed Relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory, we have discovered that N=Z rp-process nuclei 68Se, 72Kr, 76Sr and 80Zr exhibit large shell gap both at the proton and neutron numbers in the deformed space with the consequence that pairing correlations for protons and neutrons vanish. This lends a doubly magic character to these nuclei. A significant number of nuclei in this region are also shown to exhibit neutron magicity at N=34, 36, 38, and 40 in the deformed space. A unique case of concomitance of the double magicity and the shape-coexistence is found for 68Se.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; Invited contribution presented at the International Symposium on Exotic Nuclei, EXON 2009, Sochi, Russia, Sept. 28-Oct. 2, 200

    Genuine Four Tangle for Four Qubit States

    Full text link
    We report a four qubit polynomial invariant that quantifies genuine four-body correlations. The four qubit invariants are obtained from transformation properties of three qubit invariants under a local unitary on the fourth qubit.Comment: 03 pages, This short communication is a contribution to the proceedings of QCMC 2012 held in Vienna, Austria, July 30th to August 3rd 201
