We study electron transport in a normal-metal ring modeled by the tight binding lattice Hamiltonian, coupled to two electron reservoirs. First, Buttiker's model of incorporating inelastic scattering, hence decoherence and dissipation, has…

We demonstrate that exciting possible realizations of quantum Floquet matter are within reach for modern silicon spin qubits based in quantum dots, most notably the discrete time crystal (DTC). This is significant given that spin qubits…
We propose a simple Hamiltonian to describe the motion and the merging of Dirac points in the electronic spectrum of two-dimensional electrons. This merging is a topological transition which separates a semi-metallic phase with two Dirac…
It is argued that the de Broglie wave is not the wave usually supposed, but the relativistically induced modulation of an underlying carrier wave that moves with the velocity of the particle. In the rest frame of the particle this…

If an ultrarelativistic charged particle channels inside a single crystal with periodically bent crystallographic planes, it emits hard electromagnetic radiation of the undulator type. Due to similarity of its physical principles to the…
It is shown that resonance scattering of fast ($pL > >pR > > 1$, $p$ is the particle momentum, $L$ is the longitudinal dimension of the potential, and $R$ is its transverse dimension) charged particles occurs in the extended potential. The…
Particles passing through a crystal under planar channeling experience transverse oscillations in their motion. As channeled particles approach the atomic planes of a crystal, they are likely to be dechanneled. This effect was used in…
The paper proposes an envelope soliton model of the electron that propagates as a protuberance on a fictitious waveguide, which acts as trajectory. The model is based on de Broglie's original electron wave-particle relativistic theory, and…
Line structures were observed for (110) planar channeling of electrons in a diamond single crystal even at a beam energy of 180 MeV. This observation motivated us to initiate dechanneling length measurements as function of the beam energy…
Collisions with background gas can perturb the transition frequency of trapped ions in an optical atomic clock. We develop a non-perturbative framework based on a quantum channel description of the scattering process, and use it to derive a…
