A harmonic oscillator model in four dimensions is presented for the helium atom to estimate the distance to the inner and outer electron from the nucleus, the angle between electrons and the energy levels. The method is algebraic and is not…
The hydrogen negative ion H$^-$ is the simplest two-electron system that exists in nature. This system is not only important in astrophysics but it also serves as an ideal ground to study electron-electron correlations. The peculiar balance…

We present the first theoretical treatment of the formation of highly excited neutral H atoms (H$^{*}$) for strongly driven H$_{2}$. This process, with one electron ionizing and one captured in a Rydberg state, was recently reported in an…
New, approximate, two-electron wavefunctions are introduced for the two-electron atoms (cations), which account remarkably well for the ground-state energies and the lowest-excxited states (where available). A new scheme of electronic…
It has been shown that the presence of a metal plate near a double quantum well with spatially separated electron and hole layers may lead to a drastic reconstruction of the system state with the formation of stable charged complexes of…
Collinear configurations of the helium-like atomic systems, relevant, e.g., for the quasifree mechanism of the double photoionization of helium, are studied, parameterized by the single scalar parameter $-1\leq \lambda\leq1$ ("collinear…
Herein, we present analytical solutions for the electronic energy eigenvalues of the hydrogen molecular ion H2+, namely the one-electron two-fixed-center problem. These are given for the homonuclear case for the countable infinity of…
The quantum entanglement for the two electrons in three-body atomic systems such as the helium atom, the hydrogen negative ion and the positronium negative ion are investigated by employing highly correlated Hylleraas functions to represent…
The two-dimensional hydrogen-like atom in a constant magnetic field is considered. It is found that this is actually two separate problems. One for which the magnetic field causes an effective attraction between the nucleus and the electron…
The present paper is based upon ideas and results obtained in an earlier paper by the author devoted to a new formulation of quantum electrodynamics. The equations derived in that paper depict the structure and properties of the electron as…

The properties of a special configuration of a helium-like atomic system, when both electrons are on the surface of a sphere of radius $r$, and angle $\theta$ characterizes their positions on sphere, are investigated. Unlike the previous…
The two-photon decay of heavy, helium-like ions is investigated based on second-order perturbation theory and Dirac's relativistic equation. Special attention has been paid to the angular emission of the two photons, i.e., how the angular…
In this article we review our work on the dynamics and decoherence of electron and hole spins in single and double quantum dots. The first part, on electron spins, focuses on decoherence induced via the hyperfine interaction while the…
It is known that homogeneous distribution of particles in Coulomb-like systems can be unstable, and spatially inhomogeneous structures can be formed. A simple method for describing such inhomogeneous systems and obtaining spacial…
Collisions between tightly confined atoms can lead to ionization and hence to loss of atoms from the trap. We develop second-order perturbation theory for a tensorial perturbation of a spherically symmetric system and the theory is then…
Considering two static, electrically charged, elementary particles, we demonstrate a possible way of proving that all known fundamental forces in the nature are the manifestations of the single, unique interaction. We re-define the gauging…
Attosecond pulses can ionize atoms in a coherent process. Since the emerging fragments are entangled, however, each preserves only a fraction of the initial coherence, thus limiting the chance of guiding the ion subsequent evolution. In…
