Cover Story: Helium Rydberg states provide critical benchmarks for quantum electrodynamics, yet their precise energy calculations remain challenging owing to multiscale electron correlations. This work develops a unified method employing correlated B-spline basis functions that computes nonrelativistic energies for helium 1snp^{1,3}P states (n=2-27) with 14-digit precision, providing consistent descriptions from low-energy to Rydberg states. The approach simultaneously captures short-range interactions and long-range asymptotic behavior, demonstrating superior performance to conventional methods. This framework achieves consistent precision for both low- and high-lying Rydberg states, enabling future relativistic and QED investigations while providing crucial theoretical pathways with which to resolve existing theory–experiment discrepancies. View this paper

Inner products of spherical tensor operators have been used since the early eighties to define orthogonal operators. However, the basic theory and properties are largely missing in the literature. An inner product in any configuration is directly pro...

This study investigates the ionization balance of Sn ions in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT). Highly charged Sn ions are produced via collisions with a quasi-monochromatic electron beam, and the charge state distribution is analyzed using a Wien fil...

This article reviews several numerical methods for the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation (TDSE). We consider both the most commonly used approach—short-time propagation, which solves the TDSE by assuming that the Hamiltonian is time-inde...

We investigate how collisional interactions between the condensate and the thermal cloud influence the distinct dynamical regimes (Josephson plasma, phase-slip-induced dissipative regime, and macroscopic quantum self-trapping) emerging in ultracold a...
