Attempto Controlled English (ACE) allows domain specialists to interactively formulate requirements specifications in domain concepts. ACE can be accurately and efficiently processed by a computer, but is expressive enough to allow natural…
The purpose of these lecture notes is to provide readers, who have some mathematical background but little or no exposure to quantum mechanics and quantum computation, with enough material to begin reading the research literature in quantum…
A brief review of antiproton--nucleus physics is presented. Some topics are related to early LEAR experiments, and others to more recent measurements or proposals. These include: exotic molecules, elastic and inelastic scattering, deep…
Simulations of the observed transition rate (decay rate) versus time for excited-state decay in Everett's relative-state formulation of quantum mechanics and DeWitt-like extension of Everett's formulation are described. It is shown that…
This thesis consists of four parts. In the first part it is shown that optimal universal cloning of photons can be realized with the help of stimulated emission. Possible schemes based on three-level systems and on parametric…
Physical processes in the quantum regime possess non-classical properties of quantum mechanics. However, methods for quantitatively identifying such processes are still lacking. Accordingly, in this study, we develop a framework for…
We show that several interpretations of quantum mechanics admit an ontology of objects and events. This ontology reduces the breach between mind and matter. When humans act, their actions do not appear explainable in mechanical terms but…
I provide an introduction to quantum computers, describing how they might be realized using language accessible to a solid state physicist. A listing of the minimal requirements for creating a quantum computer is given. I also discuss…
This talk summarizes some recent experimental constraints on Lorentz and CPT violation.
This is a lecture notes for a mini-course in Department of Mathematics, Ghent University, 14 Mar.-25 Mar. 2023.
We review the relevance of neutrino-nucleus interactions at energy transfers below 100 MeV for accelerator-based experiments, experiments at lower energies and for astrophysical neutrinos. The impact of low-energy scattering processes in…
This short talk summarizes some important issues relevant to a new Minkowski space formulation of nonperturbative contributions to quantum scattering. Details may be found in hep-ph/9403353. (To appear in Proceedings of 1994 NATO Advanced…
The MiniBooNE experiment is a $\nu_\mu\to\nu_e$ and $\bar\nu_\mu\to\bar\nu_e$ appearance neutrino oscillation experiment at Fermilab. The neutrino mode oscillation analysis shows an excess of $\nu_e$ candidate events in the low-energy…
Lectures presented at the 1st CERN Asia-Europe-Pacific School of High-Energy Physics, Fukuoka, Japan, 14-27 October 2012. A pedagogical selection of topics in probability and statistics is presented. Choice and emphasis are driven by the…
We review Event Enhanced Quantum Theory (EEQT). In Section 1 we address the question "Is Quantum Theory the Last Word". In particular we respond to some of recent challenging staments of H.P. Stapp. We also discuss a possible future of the…
This manuscript is a shorthand version of my talk given at Odessa Gamov School on Astronomy, Cosmology and Beyond (22-28 August 2011, Odessa, Ukraine). Within this note we very briefly review the main achievements, new results and open…
A brief experimental overview on the close-to-threshold eta meson production in proton-proton interactions is presented and the available observables in measurements with unpolarized and polarized beam and target are discussed.
A series of measurements have been performed with low-energy monoenergetic neutrons to characterise cross-talk between two organic scintillator detectors. Cross-talk time-of-flight spectra and probabilities were determined for neutron…
Upper limits on the electric dipole moments (EDM) of elementary particles and atoms are presented, and their physical implications are discussed. The bounds following from the neutron and atomic experiments are comparable. In particular,…
As experiments continue to push the quantum-classical boundary using increasingly complex dynamical systems, the interpretation of experimental data becomes more and more challenging: when the observations are noisy, indirect, and limited,…
