In the present paper, we consider processes involving the emission of soft photons in the presence of a strong laser field. We demonstrate that the matrix element $S$ for a process $\text{i} \rightarrow \text{f} + \gamma$, with a soft…
Addition of single photons to two-mode-squeezed-vacuum states has the effect of distilling quantum entanglement, and, when deployed in quantum key distribution, should lead also to an increase in the secret key rate. However, the extraction…

The QCD$\times$QED factorization is studied for two-body non-leptonic and semi-leptonic $B$ decays with heavy-light final states. These non-leptonic decays, like $\bar{B}^0_{(s)}\to D^+_{(s)} \pi^-$ and $\bar{B}_d^0 \to D^+ K^-$, are among…
We prove the all-order exponentiation of soft logarithmic corrections to prompt photon production in hadronic collisions, by generalizing an approach previously developed in the context of Drell-Yan production and deep-inelastic scattering.…
