Title: Ab initio no-core shell model study of lighter nuclei
Abstract: In this talk, I will present no-core shell model results of B[1], C[2-3], N [4], O[5], F[5], and Ne [6] isotopes for energy spectra, electromagnetic properties, and point-proton radii using realistic NN interactions. We have used inside nonlocal outside Yukawa (INOY), charge-dependent Bonn 2000 (CDB2K) and the chiral next-to-next-to-next-to- leading order (N3LO) and optimized next-to-next-to-leading order (N2LOopt) interactions. We observed better results for INOY interaction in terms of the binding energies of the ground state, and overall all other interactions provide good agreement with the experimental low-energy spectra. Our results for reduced M1 transition strengths and magnetic moments are close to the experimental values. We found that for long-range observables such as the E2 transition strengths, the electric quadrupole moments, and the point-proton radii (rp), we need higher Nmax calculations to obtain results comparable to the experimental data. In the figure we have shown NCSM model space corresponding to Nmax=0 and 2 calculations.

Title: Nuclear Incompressibility: How Collective Excitation Modes of a Nucleus Characterize Astrophysical Processes
Abstract: The Nuclear Incompressibility parameter is one of three important components characterizing the nuclear equation of state (EOS). It has crucial bearing on diverse nuclear and astrophysical phenomena, including radii of neutron stars, strength of supernova collapse, emission of neutrinos in supernova explosions, and collective flow in medium- and high-energy nuclear collisions. In this talk I will review current status of the research on direct experimental determination of nuclear incompressibility via the compressional-mode giant resonances. In particular, measurements on a series of Tin and Cadmium isotopes have provided an “experimental” value for the asymmetry term of nuclear incompressibility, which can provide constraints on the EOS of neutron stars.

Title: Neutron skin of 208Pb from first principles
abstract:The neutron skin thickness could be crucial to constrain the nuclear equation of state (EoS). According to the mean-field type studies, the neutron skin of 208Pb is known to be strongly correlated with the slope parameter of the neutron matter EoS, motivating neutron skin thickness measurements. From this background, an ab initio study can be a good test of the correlation. Furthermore, it is interesting to see if the ab initio calculations can narrow down and predict the neutron skin. With the recent progress in the ab initio theory, such as underlying nuclear interaction, uncertainty quantification, and emulator technique, predicting the neutron skin of 208Pb becomes feasible. In this talk, I will introduce the recent progress and show the prediction for the neutron skin of 208Pb.

Title: From Linear Algebra to Machine Learning: Ten Central Algorithms for Studying Quantum Mechanical Many-Particle Problems
Abstract: In this series of lectures we outline central algorithms for studying quantum mechanical systems, with an emphasis on both computational and pedagogical aspects. Using simple systems that allow for analytical solutions, we show how one can move from linear algebra and eigenvalue algorithms using for example full configuration interaction theory, to stochastic methods like variational and Diffusion Monte Carlo approaches and finally, how we can use Monte Carlo methods together with deep learning algorithms. Along this journey we will present ten central algorithms which have changed considerably the way we study interacting many-particle systems. These algorithms span from Householder’s famous transformation of matrices, via iterative eigenvalue solvers to neural networks and automatic differentiation for optimizing multidimensional functions. Codes and jupyter-notebooks are provided, allowing thereby people to experiment and practice the various methods.

This lecture is given in English.
