Kinetic Phase Diagram for Nucleation and Growth of Competing Crystal Polymorphs in Charged Colloids

We determine the kinetic phase diagram for nucleation and growth of crystal phases in a suspension of charged colloids. Exploiting the …

Ground states of quantum many body lattice models via reinforcement learning

We introduce reinforcement learning (RL) formulations of the problem of finding the ground state of a many-body quantum mechanical …

Quantum ground states from reinforcement learning

Finding the ground state of a quantum mechanical system can be formulated as an optimal control problem. In this formulation, the drift …

Self-consistent field theory for a polymer brush

In this study we consider the self-consistent field theory for a dry, in- compressible polymer brush, densely grafted on a substrate, …
