The interaction of high-power lasers with targets provides a way to produce γ-photon beams [1,2]. In this work we demonstrate via three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations a regime where emission of a collimated γ-photon beam occurs for oblique laser incidence angles on the flat target. The electromagnetic field accelerates electrons to the gigaelectronvolt energy level. Consequently,...
In this presentation, we delve into the State-Averaged Orbital-Optimized Variational Quantum Eigensolver (SA-OO-VQE), a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm designed to provide a balanced and accurate description of both ground and excited electronic states. SA-OO-VQE leverages state-averaged orbital optimization to effectively handle degenerate and quasi-degenerate states, overcoming common...
Docking is a computational method which searches through conformational space to find an optimal pose of a molecule in a specified environment within a protein target. It is designed to scan vast libraries of molecules against proteins to recreate binding geometry which is later used in drug design.
There are a lot of docking engines available, and it is of utmost importance to choose the...
In fusion reactors, the durability of plasma-facing components (PFCs) is heavily compromised by the impacts of high-velocity tungsten (W) dust, particularly during extreme events such as runaway electron terminations. These incidents can propel dust particles at velocities reaching several kilometers per second, leading to significant material erosion and structural damage. While existing...
