Recoilless resonant capture of monoenergetic electron antineutrinos (Moessbauer antineutrinos) emitted in bound-state beta-decay in the system 3H - 3He is discussed. The recoilfree fraction including a possible phonon excitation due to…
The existence of an internal frequency associated to any elementary particle conjectured by de Broglie is compared with a classical description of the electron, where this internal structure corresponds to the motion of the centre of charge…
Motivated by recent experiments, in which the Kondo effect has been observed for the first time in a double quantum-dot structure, we study electron transport through a system consisting of two ultrasmall, capacitively-coupled dots with…
Assuming a model of aether non-entrained by the motion of celestial bodies, one can provide a rational explanation of the experimental processes affecting the measurement of time when clocks are in motion. Contrary to special relativity,…
For composite systems made of $N$ different particles living in a space characterized by the same deformed Heisenberg algebra, but with different deformation parameters, we define the total momentum and the center-of-mass position to first…
We numerically investigate a condensate of $^{87}$Rb atoms in an F=1 hyperfine state confined in an optical dipole trap. Assuming the magnetic moments of all atoms are initially aligned along the magnetic field we observe, after the field's…
We study the deviations from the usual exponential decay law for quantum mechanical systems. We show that simple and physically motivated deviations from the Breit-Wigner energy distribution of the unstable state are sufficient to generate…

Based on the generalized principle of relativity and the ensuing symmetry, we have shown that there are only two possible types of transformations between uniformly accelerated systems. The first allowable type of transformation holds if…
We calculate the corrections of orders alpha^3, alpha^4 and alpha^5 to the Lamb shift of the 1S and 2S energy levels of muonic hydrogen (mu p) and muonic deuterium (mu d). The nuclear structure effects are taken into account in terms of the…
Classical Doppler Effect of light propagation can be calculated by making any one of the two assumptions a) Light propagates at the speed c with respect to the source or b) Light propagates at the speed c with respect to the receptor. We…
We investigate the dynamics of a Bose-Einstein condensate of magnetic atoms in which the dipoles are rotated by an external magnetic field. The time-averaged dipole-dipole interaction between the atoms is effectively tuned by this rotation,…
We study inelastic resonant scattering of a Gaussian wave packet with the parameters close to a zero of the complex scattering coefficient. We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that such near-zero scattering can result in…
In experiments conducted recently at MIT on Na Bose-Einstein condensates [S. Inouye et al, Nature 392, 151 (1998); J. Stenger et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 2422 (1999)], large loss rates were observed when a time-varying magnetic field was…
Variations of dispersion measure (DM) have been observed in some binary pulsars, which can not be well explained by the propagation effects, such as turbulence of the interstellar media (ISM) between the Earth and the pulsar. This paper…
The rovibrational intervals of the $^4$He$_2^+$ molecular ion in its $X\ ^2\Sigma_\text{u}^+$ ground electronic state are computed by including the non-adiabatic, relativistic, and leading-order quantum-electrodynamics corrections. Good…
A substantial improvement in the accuracy of G-dot tests (The dot denotes the time derivative.) would make it realistic to speak in terms of a measurement of G-dot, rather than merely a smaller upper bound on |G-dot|. We show that the…
Time and space translation invariance, giving rise to energy and momentum conservation, are not only amongst the most fundamental but also the most generally accepted symmetry assumptions in physics. It is nevertheless prudent to put such…
