Resonant two-photon ionization in a system consisting of two spatially well-separated atoms is studied. Due to two-center electron-electron correlations, the ionization may also proceed through photo-excitation of both atoms with subsequent…

We discuss the emergence of time dilation as a normal feature expected of any system where a central processor may have to wait one or more clock cycles before concluding a local calculation. We show how the process of causal implication in…

We apply Brunetti and Fredenhagen's [Phys. Rev. A 66 (2002) 044101] concept of the time of occurrence of an event in quantum mechanics to the example of scattering off a spherical potential. Thereby, we re-derive the expression of…

We predict a significant delay of two-electron photoemission from the helium atom after absorption of an attosecond XUV pulse. We establish this delay by solving the time dependent Schr\"odinger equation and by subsequent tracing the…

A fully relativistic calculation of the double photoionization of helium-like atoms is presented. The approach is based on the partial-wave representation of the Dirac continuum states and accounts for the retardation in the…

Although many physical arguments account for using a modified definition of time delay in multichannel-type scattering processes, one can hardly find rigorous results on that issue in the literature. We try to fill in this gap by showing,…

The decay of photoexcited quantum systems (examples are photodissociation of molecules and autoionization of atoms) can be viewed as a half-collision process (an incoming photon excites the system which subsequently decays by dissociation…

The Eisenbud-Wigner-Smith (EWS) time delay of photoemission depends on the phase term of the matrix element describing the transition. Because of an interference process between partial channels, the photoelectrons acquire a spin…
