We compute energy distributions of three particles emerging from decaying many-body resonances. We reproduce the measured energy distributions from decays of two archetypal states chosen as the lowest $0^{+}$ and $1^{+}$-resonances in…
Decoherence for a one-dimensional coupled-resonator waveguide with a two-level system inside one of resonators, induced by their interaction with corresponding environments, is investigated. Each environment is modeled as a continuum of…
The complex-scaling method can be used to calculate molecular resonances within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, assuming the electronic coordinates are dilated independently of the nuclear coordinates. With this method, one will…
The energy and the width of resonance states are determined by analytic continuation of bound-state energies as a function of the coupling constant (potential strength). The advantage of the method is that the existing techniques for…
There is a long-standing discrepancy between the neutron lifetime measured in beam and bottle experiments. We propose to explain this anomaly by a dark decay channel for the neutron, involving one or more dark sector particles in the final…
Effective spectral functions of the $\rho$ meson are reconstructed by considering the lifetimes inside different media using the hadronic transport SMASH (Simulating Many Accelerated Strongly-interacting Hadrons). Due to inelastic…
Entanglement between a quantum system and its environment leads to loss of coherence in the former. In general, the temporal fate of coherences is complicated. Here, we establish the connection between decoherence of a central system and…
In this Communication, it is shown that models used for describing generation and recombination of electrons and holes lead to disagreements with Maxwell's electrodynamics. Self-consistent expressions, more adequately depicting the actual…

We study the occurrence of long-lived metastable states in the 4f$^{13}$5d6s electron configuration of Yb$^+$. By optical pumping of a single trapped ion on the $^2F^\text{o}_{7/2}\rightarrow (7/2,0)_{7/2}$ transition at 377.5 nm, we…
Succeeding our previous finding about coherent interference of the resonant states of CO^- formed by the low-energy electron attachment [Phys. Rev. A 88, 012708 (2013)], here we provide more evidences of the coherent interference, in…
We investigate the cosmological constraints on axion models where the domain wall number is greater than one. In these models, multiple domain walls attached to strings are formed, and they survive for a long time. Their annihilation occurs…
We have measured the lifetime of the 5s5p ^3P_2 metastable state of strontium atoms by magneto-optically trapping the decayed atoms to the ground state, which allowed sensitive detection of the rare decay events. We found that the blackbody…
Excited hadrons are seen as resonances in the scattering of lighter stable hadrons like $\pi$, $K$ and $\eta$. Many decay into multiple final states necessitating coupled-channel analyses. Recently it has become possible to obtain…
Due to underlying symmetries the ground states of magnetic adatoms may be highly stable, which opens perspectives for application as single-atom memory. A specific example is a single holmium atom (with $J=8$) on a platinum (111) surface…
Atomically thin semi-conductors are characterized by strongly bound excitons which govern the optical properties of the materials below and near the band edge. Efficient conversion of photons into electrical current requires, as a first…
We study the short-time evolution of the bipartite entanglement in quantum lattice systems with local interactions in terms of the purity of the reduced density matrix. A lower bound for the purity is derived in terms of the eigenvalue…
