Simulating nuclear processes and state preparation poses significant challenges, even for traditional supercomputers. This study demonstrates the feasibility of a complete simulation of a nuclear transition, including the preparation of both ground and first excited states. To tackle the complexity of strong interactions between two and three nucleons, the states are modeled on the tritium nucleus. Both the initial and final states are represented using quantum circuits with variational quantum algorithms and inductive biases. Describing the spin-isospin states requires four qubits, and a parameterized quantum circuit that exploits a total of 16 parameters is initialized.

Room-temperature emission and detection of spin currents are observed in Ge_1-xSn_x/Co hybrids through spin-pumping ferromagnetic resonance. Experiments conducted over a wide range of compositions and strains show that spin current injection is enhanced in Ge_1-xSn_x solid solutions compared to elemental Ge. The magnetization dynamics reveal an intriguing scenario where the Gilbert damping constant and the spin mixing conductance display a non-monotonic behavior. The maximum spin-pumping efficiency occurs at a Sn molar fraction of ≈10 at.% and remains unaffected by the elastic strain built up in Ge_1-xSn_x films through epitaxial growth on Ge-buffered Si substrates.

Here, this possibility is explored with an optomechanical system driven by a two-tone field. Whenever the difference between the driving frequencies matches the associated mechanical frequency, the photon and phonon populations are found to achieve steady-state coherent oscillations, demonstrating a dual lasing phenomenon. Such drive–tone resonance condition can synchronize the phases of the photon and phonon fields, which facilitates a robust simultaneous lasing. Here, analytical insights into the joint amplification of the optical and mechanical modes are provided, and further confirm the dual lasing phenomenon by numerically calculating the relevant correlation functions and the power spectrum.
