Article Abstract

We propose an explicit factorized formula for the ground state many-body wave function of a model quartic potential problem in two and three dimensions, using our recently developed method for solving Schrödinger equations. Our novel formula has a clear real-space structure: it is exactly factorized into three parts, including a non-integer pre-exponential power factor, dominant decaying terms on the exponent, and a modulator function, which is of minor importance. This result is a generalization of our previously obtained exact formula for the 1-body wave function. As in the 1-body case, here we show that for many-body ground wave functions that cannot achieve variable separation, our method is still far more efficient than the conventional basis expansion method both in representing the wave function and in calculating the energy. The exact factorization ansatz proposed in the present case study shall provide important insight into the general structure of many-body wave functions.

Observing differential spin currents by resonant inelastic X-ray scattering.

Nature

September 2025

National Synchrotron Light Source II, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Upton, NY, USA.

Controlling spin currents, that is, the flow of spin angular momentum, in small magnetic devices, is the principal objective of spin electronics, a main contender for future energy-efficient information technologies. A pure spin current has never been measured directly because the associated electric stray fields and/or shifts in the non-equilibrium spin-dependent distribution functions are too small for conventional experimental detection methods optimized for charge transport. Here we report that resonant inelastic X-ray scattering (RIXS) can bridge this gap by measuring the spin current carried by magnons-the quanta of the spin wave excitations of the magnetic order-in the presence of temperature gradients across a magnetic insulator.

From a physics perspective, DNA and RNA molecules are characterized as dynamic biological structures that exhibit vibrations across a range of time scales. To conduct a more accurate investigation of their dynamic properties, it is essential to consider the environmental conditions surrounding these molecules. A harmonic Hamiltonian that incorporates damping, along with the Green's function method, has been utilized to analyze the vibrational responses of viscous DNA and RNA strands.

Background: Hikikomori, characterized by prolonged social withdrawal and isolation, is often comorbid with psychiatric conditions including depression and anxiety. While cross-sectional studies consistently link hikikomori with depressive symptoms, the directionality of this relationship remains unclear because longitudinal evidence is lacking.

Objective: This study examined the longitudinal association between depressive symptoms and hikikomori behavioral tendencies, focusing on both the topography (observable features) and functions of hikikomori behaviors, as conceptualized in operant conditioning theory.

Suppression of premature ventricular complexes with the PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil: First clinical experience.

Exp Physiol

The phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil suppresses ventricular arrhythmias in a sheep model of drug-induced long QT. In that study, ventricular arrhythmias were abolished by reducing premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and delaying PVC onset, thus preventing 'R-on-T' ventricular tachycardia. Evidence for effects in humans with arrhythmias is lacking.
