We address some of the most commonly raised questions about entanglement, especially with regard to so-called occupation number entanglement. To answer unambiguously whether entanglement can exist in a one-atom delocalized state, we propose…
The effects of dynamic localization in a solid-state system -- a quantum dot -- are considered. The theory of weak dynamic localization is developed for non-interacting electrons in a closed quantum dot under arbitrary time-dependent…
Interplay between the effects of coherent radiation and localization of light is analysed. A system of two-level atoms is placed in a medium interacting with electromagnetic field. The matter-light interaction can result in the appearance…

Bound state formation is a classic feature of quantum mechanics, where a particle localizes in the vicinity of an attractive potential. This is typically understood as the particle lowering its potential energy. In this article, we discuss…
We consider N interacting quantum particles on a one-dimensional lattice, and subjected to an external linear potential. For N = 1, the corresponding Hamiltonian is explicitly diagonalizable, with superexponentially localized eigenstates.…
