Decoherence inevitably happens when a quantum state is exposed to its environment, which can affect quantum critical points (QCP) in a nontrivial way. As was pointed out in recent literature on $(1+1)d$ conformal field theory (CFT), the…

The formulation and some experimental implications of a general Lorentz-violating extension of the standard model are reviewed. The theory incorporates both CPT-preserving and CPT-breaking terms. It is otherwise a conventional quantum field…
Neutrinos described as an open quantum system may interact with the environment which introduces stochastic perturbations to their quantum phase. This mechanism leads to a loss of coherence along the propagation of the neutrino $-$ a…

If CP violation in the decays of neutral kaons is due to phases in the weak couplings of quarks, as encoded in the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix, there are many other experimental consequences. Notable among these are CP-violating…
A general theoretical framework that incorporates possible CPT and Lorentz violation in an extension of the standard model and in quantum electrodynamics has been developed over the last decade. The framework originates in the idea that CPT…
