G04.00001: Entanglement in nuclear structure Invited Speaker: Caroline Robin Entanglement plays a central role in a diverse array of increasingly important research areas, including quantum computing. While extensive suites of investigations have been performed to better understand entanglement in atomic and molecular quantum many-body systems, the exploration of entanglement in the structure of nuclei and their reactions is still in its infancy. In this talk we investigate the entanglement properties of light nuclei in the context of nuclear many-body calculations. In particular, we study the entanglement between single-particles states, or orbitals, in stable and exotic nuclei. The structures of entanglement emerging from different single-particle bases are compared, and possible links with the convergence of observables are explored [1]. We also discuss how such studies could ultimately lead to more efficient many-body schemes, and how they could benefit the developments of hybrid classical-quantum computations of nuclei. [1] C. Robin, M. J. Savage and N. Pillet, arXiv:2007.09157 [nucl-th,quant-ph] (2020). [Preview Abstract] |

G04.00002: Entanglement and thermalization in peripheral collisions Invited Speaker: Oliver Baker The surprising emergence of apparent thermalization seen in data from high-energy proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider and in charged-current weak interactions at Fermilab is also observed in peripheral heavy ion collisions. A description of the possibility that this behavior in each case is due to the high degree of entanglement in the wave functions of the interacting systems will be presented. Examples using the large amount of data available from both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider experiments support this proposed link between quantum entanglement and thermalization in peripheral heavy ion collisions.
