It is for the first time that quantum simulation for high-energy physics (HEP) is studied in the
US decadal particle-physics community planning, and in fact until recently, this was not …

The nuclear equation of state (EOS) is at the center of numerous theoretical and
experimental efforts in nuclear physics. With advances in microscopic theories for nuclear …

This Horizon Study describes a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave
observatory: Cosmic Explorer. With ten times the sensitivity of Advanced LIGO, Cosmic …

The first observation of gravitational waves from the inspiral of a binary neutron star (BNS)
200 system on 2017 August 17 (Abbott et al. 2017b) was a major landmark in multi …

Observations of neutron-star mergers with distinct messengers, including gravitational
waves and electromagnetic signals, can be used to study the behavior of matter denser than …

The properties of neutron stars are determined by the nature of the matter that they contain.
These properties can be constrained by measurements of the star's size. We obtain stringent …

The production of about half of the heavy elements found in nature is assigned to a specific
astrophysical nucleosynthesis process: the rapid neutron-capture process (r process) …

We demonstrate in a general and analytic way how high-density information about the
equation of state (EOS) of strongly interacting matter obtained using perturbative quantum …

Observations of neutron stars, whether in binaries or in isolation, provide information about
the internal structure of the most extreme material objects in the Universe. In this work, we …

Despite their long history and astrophysical importance, some of the key properties of
neutron stars are still uncertain. The extreme conditions encountered in their interiors …
