For a general self-adjoint Hamiltonian operator $H_0$ on the Hilbert space $L^2(\RE^d)$, we determine the set of all self-adjoint Hamiltonians $H$ on $L^2(\RE^d)$ that dynamically confine the system to an open set $\Omega \subset \RE^d$…
We look at an electron in the field of an arbitrary external potential $V$, such that the Schr\"odinger operator $p^2 + V$ has at least one eigenvalue, and show that by coupling to a quantized radiation field the binding energy increases,…

When analyzing the particle-like excitations in quantum field theory it is natural to regard the field mode corresponding to the particle momentum as an open quantum system, together with the opposite momentum mode. Provided that the state…
