The physics case for axions and axion-like particles is reviewed and an overview of ongoing and near-future laboratory searches is presented.
We separate the criticisms of Hodges \cite{Hodges2005} and others into those against the algorithm itself and those against its physical implementation. We then point out that {\em all} those against the algorithm are either misleading or…
The predictions of the semiclassical description of particle creation based on QFT in classical backgrounds may be significantly modified when the source of the classical background is also quantized and backreaction is taken into account.…
A hypothetical energy quantization condition is imposed in [1] (Francisco A. Cruz Neto {\it et al.}, arXiv : 1910.11701 [gr-qc]) in order to show consistent of the result with those in [2] but fail or unable to show consistency with those…
Below we analyze the `critic' statements made in the Preprint arXiv:1301.1828v1 [nucl-th]. The doubtful scientific argumentation of the authors of the Preprint arXiv:1301.1828v1 [nucl-th] is also discussed.
We investigate if physical laws can impose limit on computational time and speed of a quantum computer built from elementary particles. We show that the product of the speed and the running time of a quantum computer is limited by the type…
There is a long-standing apparent conflict between the existence of diamagnetism and causality as expressed through the Kramers-Kronig relations. In essence, using causality arguments, along with a small number of seemingly well-justified…
Replies are given to arguments advanced in this journal that claim to show that it is to nonlinear classical mechanics rather than quantum mechanics that one must look for the physical underpinnings of consciousness.
This paper has been withdrawn by the authors since it was strongly elaborated, some new sections appeared. This made the paper significantly differ from current version. Besides two new authors participated in the work. So the authors…
A physicists' explanation of why thou shalt not clone one bit gives a stronger version of Conway and Kochen's theorem.
The no-masking theorem (Phys. Rev. Lett. 120, 230501 (2018)) claims that arbitrary quantum states cannot be masked. Based on this result, the authors further suggested that qubit commitment is not possible. Here we show that this connection…
We investigate the possibility and consequences of the existence of particles having negative relativistic masses, and show that their existence implies the existence of faster- than-light particles (tachyons). Our proof requires only two…
More than a speculative technology, quantum computing seems to challenge our most basic intuitions about how the physical world should behave. In this thesis I show that, while some intuitions from classical computer science must be…
Many believe that the deep question of "why is there something rather than nothing?" is unanswerable. The universe just is and no further explanation for its existence is possible. In this paper I explain why this question must have an…
The mixing of a neutral unstable particle and its antiparticle has been usually discussed in the framework of quantum mechanics in the literature. In this paper, the particle-antiparticle mixing is discussed fully in the quantum field…
The problem of antibiotic resistance poses challenges across many disciplines. One such challenge is to understand the fundamental science of how antibiotics work, and how resistance to them can emerge. This is an area where physicists can…
Silicene, a monolayer of silicon atoms tightly packed into a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice, is the challenging hypothetical reflection in the silicon realm of graphene, a one-atom thick graphite sheet, presently the hottest material in…
An experiment is proposed to test the interference aspect of the Quantum Interference Computer approach
Deficiencies in Kauffman's proposal regarding a new way for building scientific theories are pointed out. A suggestion to overcome them, and in fact, independently construct mathematical theories which are beyond the reach of Goedel's…
Some Christian apologists, notably William Lane Craig, have championed something called the kalam cosmological argument for the existence of God. One version of the argument leans heavily on the claim that the existence of an actual…
