Noise-resistant quantum memory enabled by Hamiltonian engineering [PDF]
Nuclear spins in quantum dots are promising candidates for fast and scalable quantum memory. By utilizing the hyperfine interaction between the central electron and its surrounding nuclei, quantum information can be transferred to the collective state of the nuclei and be stored for a long time.

Nuclei in Core-Collapse Supernovae Engine [PDF]
Herein, we review the nuclear equations of state (EOSs) %for core-collapse supernova simulations and the constituent nuclei of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and their roles in CCSN simulations. Various nuclei such as deuterons, iron, and extremely neutron-rich nuclei compose in the central engines of CCSNe.

Trees and Forests in Nuclear Physics [PDF]
We present a simple introduction to the decision tree algorithm using some examples from nuclear physics. We show how to improve the accuracy of the classical liquid drop nuclear mass model by performing Feature Engineering with a decision tree. Finally, we apply the method to the Duflo-Zuker model showing that, despite their simplicity, decision trees

Reservoir engineering with arbitrary temperatures for spin systems and quantum thermal machine with maximum efficiency [PDF]
Abstract Reservoir engineering is an important tool for quantum information science and quantum thermodynamics since it allows for preparing and/or protecting special quantum states of single or multipartite systems or to investigate fundamental questions of the thermodynamics as quantum thermal machines and their efficiencies.

Nuclear engineering program marks 10th anniversary [PDF]
Ten years ago, Virginians who wanted to study nuclear engineering at the graduate level had to leave the state to do so. But then VCU, with support from Dominion Resources, started a program whose hallmark has been its ability to balance theory and ...

Genotoxic agents promote the nuclear accumulation of annexin A2: role of annexin A2 in mitigating DNA damage [PDF]
Annexin A2 is an abundant cellular protein that is mainly localized in the cytoplasm and plasma membrane, however a small population has been found in the nucleus, suggesting a nuclear function for the protein.
