Remarkable progress towards realizing quantum computation has been achieved using natural and artificial atoms as qubits. This article presents a brief overview of the current status of different types of qubits. On the one hand, natural…

It has been shown for the first time that $NN$ interaction, at least in some partial waves, can be quantitatively described by the superposition of a long-range one-pion exchange and a short-range mechanism based on the complex pole in the…
The symmetry between quarks and leptons suggests that neutrinos should have mass. As embodied in the grand unified theory SO(10) this yields masses that can only be detected by neutrino oscillations. Such oscillations could be very…
We discuss the generation of entangled states of two two-level atoms coupled simultaneously with a dissipated atom. The dissipation of the atom is supposed to come from its coupling to a noise with adjustable intensity. We describe how the…

Shell effects in atomic nuclei are a quantum mechanical manifestation of the single--particle motion of the nucleons. They are directly related to the structure and fluctuations of the single--particle spectrum. Our understanding of these…

The rest masses of the electron, the muon and of the stable mesons and baryons can be explained, within 1% accuracy, with the standing wave model, which uses only photons, neutrinos, charge and the weak nuclear force. We do not need…
Neutrino masses and mixing can be investigated by studying the behavior of a radioactive bare nucleus which decays by emitting an electron into the open atomic K shell BEFORE and DURING its weak decay by neutrino emission. The initial…
From a rigorous historic analysis of 1686 I. Newton and 1905 A. Einstein works where the last derived the universal mass-energy relationship, it is concluded that rest mass measures potential energy. From the same formula used to obtain…
Shell corrections are important in the determination of nuclear ground-state masses and shapes. Although general arguments favor a regular single-particle dynamics, symmetry-breaking and the presence of chaotic layers cannot be excluded.…
