Bharti Bhoy,

Abstract:This study presents a simulated quantum computing approach for the investigation into the shell-model energy levels of 58Ni through the application of the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) method in combination with a problem-specific ansatz. The primary objective is to achieve a fully accurate low-lying energy spectrum of 58Ni. The chosen isotope, 58Ni is particularly interesting in nuclear physics through its role in astrophysical reactions while also being a simple but non-trivial nucleus for shell-m… Show more
