We propose a method for measuring entangled vibronic quantum states of a trapped atom. It is based on the nonlinear dynamics of the system that appears by resonantly driving a weak electronic transition. The proposed technique allows the…
The signature of bound state formation on the lattice is of particular interest in this talk. In the finite volume, where all states have discrete energies, it is rather hard to distinguish between a bound state and a scattering state if…
We discuss relativistic and radiative corrections to the energies of quantum cyclotron states. In particular, it is shown analytically that the leading logarithmic radiative (self-energy) correction to the bound-state energy levels of…
An electron within a mesoscopic (quantum-coherent) spintronic structure is described by a single wave function which, in the presence of both charge scattering and spin-orbit coupling, encodes an information about {\em entanglement} of its…
We consider N bosons in a box with volume one, interacting through a two-body potential with scattering length of the order $N^{-1+\kappa}$, for $\kappa>0$. Assuming that $\kappa\in (0;1/43)$, we show that low-energy states of the system…
We present a fully second-quantized calculation showing the emergence of spontaneous coherent configurations of the electromagnetic field in interaction with charged bosons in a regular lattice. The bosons tend to oscillate at their plasma…
We propose a realistic scheme to determine the quantum state of a single mode cavity field even after it has started to decay due to the coupling with an environment. Although dissipation destroys quantum coherences, we show that at zero…
In the framework of a scalar QFT, we evaluate the decay of an initial massive state into two massless particles through a triangle-shaped diagram in which virtual fields propagate. Under certain conditions, the decaying state can be seen as…
We propose a new type of spatially periodic structure, i.e. polaritonic crystal (PolC), to observe a "slow"/"stopped" light phenomenon due to coupled atom-field states (polaritons) in a lattice. Under the tightbinding approximation, such a…
A new class of solutions for Bose crystals with a simple cubic lattice consisting of N atoms is found. The wave function (WF) of the ground state takes the form \Psi_0=e^{S_{w}^{l}+S_{b}}*\prod_j…
Binding energy of the $1^-$ state (ortho-positronium) in QED is calculated using the one-photon exchange Bethe-Salpeter equation in the Feynman and Coulomb gauges for different coupling constants $\alpha$. Calculations show there is a…
We study the physics of four-photon states generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion with a pulsed pump field. In the limit where the coherence time of the photons t_c is much shorter than the duration of the pump pulse Delta t,…
The analysis of the time evolution of unstable states which are linear superposition of other, observable, states can, in principle, be carried out in two distinct, non-equivalent ways. One of the methods, usually employed for the neutral…
A numerical program calculating an energy of a positron or (and) an electron near the free volume in solid n-alkanes has been build. The theory of interaction of e+ or (and) e- with this non-polar media based on polarizability has been…
Recent experimental results on two hcp phases of barium under high pressure show interesting variation of the lattice parameters. They are here interpreted in terms of electronic structure calculation by using the LMTO method and…
There is a classic alternative to the Franck-Hertz experiment designed to show more than a recurrence of the first excited state. Instead of being subjected to a rising potential between source and accelerating grid, electrons are now…
It is shown that a flavor neutrino state that describes a neutrino produced or detected in a charged-current weak interaction process depends on the process under consideration and is appropriate for the description of neutrino oscillations…
Calculations of the positron binding energies to all atoms in the periodic table are presented and atoms where the positron-atom binding actually exists are identified. The results of these calculations and accurate calculations of other…
By sending many two-level atoms through a cavity resonant with the atomic transition, and letting the interaction times between the atoms and the cavity be randomly distributed, we end up with a predetermined Fock state of the…
Considerable similarity between positronium atom and an exciton in a quantum dot is indicated. Following this, we apply the calculation regime from the theory of excitons to describe some aspects of formation of a positronium in matter. We…
