Abstract:
Coherence length ([Formula: see text]) is a key concept in quantum mechanics, representing the ability of a quantum system to maintain well-defined phase relationships over time. This paper investigates the relationship between coherence length, decay width (Γ), and atomic mass in radiative capture reactions using a machine learning model. Additionally, the quantum entanglement of the resulting states is quantified using the von Neumann entropy. The results demonstrate the inverse relationship between coherence length and decay width, highlighting the universal nature of this relationship across various reactions. The findings provide valuable insights into the behavior of particles in radiative capture reactions and have implications for both experimental and theoretical studies in nuclear and particle physics.

In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Consider the electromagnetic wave passing through a dielectric medium. In such a case, Maxwell's equations get modified. In Ampere's law, ε0 , the dielectric permittivity of free space is replaced with ε, the permittivity of dielectric. Also, the vacuum permeability μ0 is replaced by the permeability of the...
