Many-body quantum muon effects and quadrupolar coupling in solids

Abstract Strong quantum zero-point motion (ZPM) of light nuclei and other particles is a crucial aspect of many state-of-the-art quantum materials. However, it has only recently begun to be explored from an ab initio perspective, through several competing approximations. Here we develop a unified de...
