Can UKRI funded research be published in Physical Review?

For many of my colleagues in low-energy nuclear physics, Physical Review C is the default journal for most of their research.  The default ...

Breakthrough study challenges long-held beliefs about the shape of atomic nuclei | University of Surrey

Powerful quantum computers in years not decades, says Microsoft

It says a new chip it has created could end up being as important a breakthrough as the semiconductor.

Solving coupled non-linear schrödinger equations via quantum imaginary time evolution - The European Physical Journal Special Topics

Coupled non-linear Schrödinger equations are crucial in describing dynamics of many-particle systems. We present a quantum imaginary time evolution (ITE) algorithm as a solution to such equations in the case of nuclear Hartree-Fock approach. Under a simplified Skyrme interaction model, we calculate the ground state energy of an oxygen-16 nucleus and demonstrate that the result is in agreement with the classical ITE algorithm. We examine bottlenecks and deficiencies in the quantum algorithm and suggest possible improvements.
