Till now, the foundation of quantum physics is still mysterious. To explore the mysteries in the foundation of quantum physics, people always take it for granted that quantum processes must be some types of fields/objects on a rigid space.…

Kaon excitations (kaonic modes) are investigated in hyperonic matter, where hyperons ($\Lambda$, $\Sigma^-$, $\Xi^-$) are mixed in the ground state of neutron-star matter. $P$-wave kaon-baryon interactions as well as the s-wave interactions…
