Shaded outlines of calcium-40 and ytterbium-176 nuclei (40Ca+176Yb) as they collide, leading to fusion, with nucleon currents for neutrons in blue and protons in red. The net neutron flow is from 176Yb to 40Ca and the proton flow is the opposite.

New Insights on the Role of Nucleon Exchange in Nuclear Fusion

Researchers expand the quantum mechanical descriptions of nuclear fusion reactions.

Novel Hybrid Scheme Speeds the Way to Simulating Nuclear Reactions on Quantum Computers

Classical and quantum chips combine to simulate the collision of two neutrons on a present-day quantum computer.
