Between mirrors, the density of electromagnetic modes differs from the one in free space. This changes the radiation properties of an atom as well as the light forces acting on an atom. It has profound consequences in the strong-coupling…
We show that a `QCD dilaton' field, whose vacuum expectation value sets the strong coupling, can render the Quantum Chromodynamic (QCD) confinement transition first-order. The QCD dilaton is cosmologically attracted to a false vacuum at…

In controlled dephasing as a result of the interaction of a controlled environment (dephasor) and the system under observation (dephasee) the states of the two subsystems are entangled. Using as an example the ``Which Path Detector'', we…
We demonstrate that a stable particle with flavor mixing, confined in a gravitational potential can gradually and irreversibly escape -- or "evaporate" -- from it. This effect is due to mass eigenstate conversions which occur in…

Buoyancy-thermocapillary convection in a layer of volatile liquid driven by a horizontal temperature gradient arises in a variety of situations. Recent studies have shown that the composition of the gas phase, which is typically a mixture…
It is known that gas bubbles on the surface bounding a fluid flow can change the coefficient of friction and affect the parameters of the boundary layer. In this paper, we propose a method that allows us to create, in the near-wall region,…
The thermodynamic state of lipid interfaces was observed during shock wave induced cavitation in water with sub-microsecond resolution, using the emission spectra of hydration-sensitive fluorescent probes co-localized at the interface. The…
Cavitating flow over a circular cylinder is investigated over a range of cavitation numbers for both laminar and turbulent regimes. We observe non-cavitating, cyclic and transitional cavitation regimes with reduction in freestream $\sigma$.…
The blowdown of high pressure gas in a pressure vessel produces rapid adiabatic cooling of the gas remaining in the vessel. The gas near the wall is warmed by conduction from the wall, producing radial temperature and density gradients that…
We study the mechanical effects of light on an atom trapped in a harmonic potential when an atomic dipole transition is driven by a laser and it is strongly coupled to a mode of an optical resonator. We investigate the cooling dynamics in…

While it is well known that cavitation occurs in liquids under tension, no universally accepted criterion for its onset in transient pressure fields exists. We propose a precise definition of the critical tension for cavitation in transient…
