The decoherence of nonclassical motional states of a trapped $^9 {\rm Be^+}$ ion in a recent experiment is investigated theoretically. Sources of decoherence considered here destroy the characteristic coherent quantum dynamics of the system…
A search for double electron capture ($2\varepsilon$), electron capture with positron emission ($\varepsilon\beta^+$), and double positron emission $2\beta^+$) in $^{136}$Ce and $^{138}$Ce was realized with a 465 cm$^3$ ultra-low background…

Excitons in semiconductors and insulators consist of fermionic subsystems, electrons and holes, whose attractive interaction facilitates bound quasiparticles with quasi-bosonic character due to even-numbered pair spins. In the presence of a…
We perform combined resistivity and compressibility studies of two-dimensional hole and electron systems which show the apparent metal-insulator transition - a crossover in the sign of dR/dT with changing density. No thermodynamic anomalies…
Polar molecules are desirable systems for quantum simulations and cold chemistry. Molecular ions are easily trapped, but a bias electric field applied to polarize them tends to accelerate them out of the trap. We present a general solution…

We show how a single trapped ion may be used to test a variety of important physical models realized as time-dependent harmonic oscillators. The ion itself functions as its own motional detector through laser-induced electronic transitions.…
