Challenges in first-principles NPT molecular dynamics of soft porous crystals: a case study on MIL-53(Ga). [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Physics, 2014
Soft porous crystals present a challenge to molecular dynamics simulations with flexible size and shape of the simulation cell (i.e., in the NPT ensemble), since their framework responds very sensitively to small external stimuli. Hence, all interactions

Durable institution under fire? The NPT confronts emerging multipolarity

open access: yesContemporary Security Policy, 2021
The regime built around the 1970 Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) has helped curtail the spread of nuclear arms for fifty years. In hindsight, it is remarkable only nine states possess the world’s most powerful weapon.

When is it legitimate to abandon the NPT? Withdrawal as a political tool to move nuclear disarmament forward

open access: yesContemporary Security Policy, 2021
Treaties can be denounced and withdrawn from unilaterally and collectively. We ask when it would be legitimate to abandon the NPT, a treaty that 50 years ago committed states to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, but still has not delivered on ...

New classes of n-copy undistillable quantum states with negative partial transposition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
The discovery of entangled quantum states from which one cannot distill pure entanglement constitutes a fundamental recent advance in the field of quantum information. Such bipartite bound-entangled (BE) quantum states \emph{could} fall into two distinct
