In order to achieve the goal of establish “Unified Platform for Finite Quantum Many-body system” and to describe the formation and evolution of quantum matter in the universe from the fundamental particle level using this platform
- With Group A03, which is a group of experts in computational science, A01 group performs accurate calculations beyond the 10-body problem involving different particles with the “Infinitesimally shifted Gaussian Lobe expansion method (GEM)” and developed by the project leader, which is the cornerstone of this research field.
- A01 group starts from the calculation of the boson 10-body problem and expands to the calculation of the Fermi 10-body problem and the 10-body problem including hetero particles.
- By giving information on the binding energies and wavefunctions constructed by Group A01 to the group of large-scale shell model calculations and the group of density functional calculations, we aim to improve the accuracy of large-scale shell model calculations and density functional calculations, and to construct a platform for high-precision 100-body quantum many-body problem calculations.
- The group will apply this calculation method to the protonic molecule (Group B01) to elucidate the molecular structure of this molecule.
- In collaboration with the Hypernucleus Spectroscopy Experiment (Group B02), we will perform precise structure calculations of hypernuclei to determine the Baryon interactions and clarify the internal structure of neutron stars.
- A01 group contributes to industry-academia collaboration by calculating the nuclear reaction cross section required for RANS (Group B04).
