We calculate nuclear spin-dependent parity non-conserving $E1$-amplitudes for optical transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{3/2,F'}$ and for hyperfine transition $6p_{1/2,F} -> 6p_{1/2,F'}$ in Tl. Experimental limit on the former amplitude placed…

Frequent measurements can modify the decay of an unstable quantum state with respect to the free dynamics given by Fermi's golden rule. In a landmark article, Nature 405, 546 (2000), Kofman and Kurizki concluded that in quantum decay…
We provide a protocol for Hamiltonian parameter estimation which relies only on the Zeeman effect. No time-dependent quantities need to be measured, it fully suffices to observe spectral shifts induced by fields applied to local `markers'.…
