We study the problem of stability of chiral states, also known as problem of chirality, within the framework of a two-dimensional approximation of a symmetric double-well potential. We show how the symmetry breaking of the potential due to…
We identify the dominant collisional decoherence mechanism which serves to stabilize and super-select the configuration states of chiral molecules. A high-energy description of this effect is compared to the results of the exact molecular…
Hadronic parity violation concerns the study of the interplay of the weak- and strong-interaction dynamics that yields low energy, parity-violating observables in systems of hadrons and nuclei. We explain its essential features, as well as…
The origin of parity violation in physics is still unknown. At the present time, it is introduced in the theory by requiring that the SU(2) subgroup entering the description of interactions involves the left components. In the present…
We study the effect of the interplay between parity-time ($\mathcal{PT}$) symmetry and optical lattice (OL) potential on dynamics of quantum droplets (QDs) forming in a binary bosonic condensate trapped in a dual-core system. It is found…
Two-photon interference effects, such as the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, can be used to characterize to what extent two photons are identical. Identical photons are necessary for both linear optics quantum computing and single-photon…
Parity anomaly is a quantum mechanical effect that the parity symmetry in a two-dimensional classical action is failed to be restored in any regularization of the full quantum theory and is characterized by a half-quantized Hall…
In quantum mechanics, the exchange symmetry of wave functions for identical particles has observable effects, including the widely studied Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect. A theoretical description using second quantization is elegant but…
We show that the two scenarios able to explain the HERA anomaly --- a new leptoquark coupling or a new contact interaction --- predict new contributions to atomic parity violation. These corrections are sufficiently large and different that…
The separability and Runge-Lenz-type dynamical symmetry of the internal dynamics of certain two-electron Quantum Dots, found by Simonovi\'c et al. [1], is traced back to that of the perturbed Kepler problem. A large class of axially…
In this paper, we study the phenomenon of Hopf or more specifically quantum double symmetry breaking. We devise a criterion for this type of symmetry breaking which is more general than the one existing in the literature, and therefore…
We introduce a class of one-dimensional complex optical potentials that feature a nonlinearity-induced stability restoration, i.e., the existence of stable nonlinear modes propagating in a waveguide whose linear eigenmodes are unstable. The…
There are numerous examples of approximately degenerate states of opposite parity in molecular physics. Theory indicates that these doubles can occur in molecules that are reflection-asymmetric. Such parity doubles occur in nuclear physics…
We propose to experimentally realize an odd parity eigenstate $\left\vert b\right\rangle $ of two atoms in the double well. The occupation probability of this state shows evident dependence on the interaction, distinct from the result of…
Studies of the strangeness changing hadronic weak interaction have produced a number of puzzles that have so far evaded a complete explanation within the Standard Model. Their origin may lie either in dynamics peculiar to weak interactions…
Double-well optical lattice in an insulating state is considered. The influence of atomic vibrations and mesoscopic disorder on the properties of the lattice are studied. Vibrations lead to the renormalization of atomic interactions. The…
A misconception that non-chiral molecules have no optical activity at all is widespread. However, at molecular level even non-chiral molecules have optical activity. Optical activity of a non-chiral molecule is canceled out by that of…
Two-photon interference effects, such as the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect, can be used to characterize to what extent two photons are identical. Furthermore, these interference effects underly linear optics quantum computation. We show here…
The Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect is widely regarded as the quintessential quantum interference phenomenon in optics. In this work we examine how nonlinearity can smear statistical photon bunching in the HOM interferometer. We model both the…
New actions in D=2 and D=3 are proposed that are dual equivalent to known theories displaying well defined chirality and helicity, respectively, along with a new interpolating action that maps continuously through the original dualities.…
