Experiments at DA$\Phi$NE-Frascati and at J-PARC are scheduled to produce $K^-$D atoms and observe their X-ray cascade down to the 1$S$ ground state (g.s.), thereby measuring its strong-interaction width and shift away from a purely Coulomb…

We review and speculate on two recent developments of quantum optics and ultracold atoms. First, we discuss a possible realization of "phonon" physics, or as we call it "refracton" physics with optical lattices. To this aim we combine the…
A phenomenological model, proposed for the Kaonic Nuclear Cluster (KNC) K^-pp, is applied to the theoretical analysis of the KNC K^-pnn (or S^0). The theoretical values of the binding energy and the width are equal to epsilon_(S^0) = - 197…
