We consider non-perturbative effects at short distances in theories with confinement. The analysis is straightforward within the Abelian models in which the confinement arises on classical level. In all cases considered (compact U(1) in 3D…
In some respects, a cluster consisting of many atoms may be regarded as a single large atom. Knowing the dielectric properties of such a cluster permits one to evaluate the form of the van der Waals (dispersion) interactions between two…

We revisit the confinement-induced p-wave resonance in quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) atomic gases and study the induced molecules near resonance. We derive the reduced 1D interaction parameters and show that they can well predict the…
A confined quark model study in a couple of chirally anomalous processes is presented in comparison with effective meson Lagrangian approaches of various kind. The processes considered are \pi^0 \to \gamma \gamma and \gamma \to \pi^+ \pi^-…
The behavior of ultracold atomic gases depends crucially on the two-body scattering properties of these systems. We develop a multichannel scattering theory for atom-atom collisions in quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) geometries such as…
We present semiempirical calculations of long-range van der Waals interactions for two interacting metastable rare-gas atoms Ne through Xe. Dispersion coefficients $C_6$ are obtained for homonuclear molecular potentials asymptotically…
Smooth transitions from hadronic matter to hot and dense matter of quantum chromodynamics accompany continuous transformations in effective degrees of freedom. The microscopic descriptions should include relativistic quarks interacting…
We present a time-dependent quantum calculation of the van der Waals interaction between a pair of dissimilar atoms, one of which is initially excited while the other one is in its ground state. For small detuning, the interaction is…
Ultracold collisions between spin-polarized Na atoms and vibrationally excited Na_2 molecules are investigated theoretically, using both an inelastic formalism (neglecting atom exchange channels) and a reactive formalism (including atom…
Bound states and collisions of atoms with two-channel two-body interactions in harmonic waveguides are analyzed. The closed-channel contributions to two-atom bound states become dominant in the case of a weak resonance. At low energies and…
A transport theory is developed on the quark level to describe nucleon--nucleon collisions. We treat the strong interaction effectively by the Friedberg-Lee model both in its original and in its modified confining version. First we study…
