Bulk magnetism in solids is fundamentally quantum mechanical in nature. Yet in many situations, including our everyday encounters with magnetic materials, quantum effects are masked, and it often suffices to think of magnetism in terms of…
Randomness is a key feature of quantum physics. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle reveals the existence of an intrinsic noise, usually explored through Gaussian squeezed states. Due to their insufficiency for quantum advantage, the focus…
We examine supersymmetric SU(N) gauge theories on R^3*S^1 with a circle of circumference beta. These theories interpolate between four-dimensional N=1 pure gauge theory for beta=infinity and three-dimensional N=2 gauge theory for beta=0.…
We investigate the type of dual superconductivity responsible for quark confinement. For this purpose, we solve the field equations of the $U(1)$ Abelian--Higgs model to obtain the static vortex solution in the whole range without…

Heisenberg's matrix formulation of quantum mechanics can be generalized to relativistic systems by evolving in light-front time tau = t+z/c. The spectrum and wavefunctions of bound states, such as hadrons in quantum chromodynamics, can be…
The evolution of the quantum wave packet describing an atom trapped in the surface-tip junction of the scanning tunneling microscope is investigated by using the time-dependent Schroedinger equation, and by a quasi-classical Hamiltonian…
The new method of solving quantum mechanical problems is proposed. The finite, i.e. cut off, Hilbert space is algebraically implemented in the computer code with states represented by lists of variable length. Complete numerical solution of…
Violation of non-Abelian Bianchi identity can be regarded as $N^2-1$ Abelian-like monopole currents in the continuum SU(N) QCD. Three Abelian-like monopoles, when defined in SU(2) gluodynamics on the lattice \`{a} la DeGrand-Toussaint, are…
We analyze the vacuum structure with respect to magnetic monopoles of quenched QCD in the presence of static color sources. Distributions of the monopole density around static quarks and mesons are computed in both phases of QCD. We observe…
The stability of a spherically symmetric self-gravitating magnetic monopole is examined in the thin wall approximation: modeling the interior false vacuum as a region of de Sitter space; the exterior as an asymptotically flat region of the…
Starting from SU(2) Yang-Mills theory in 3+1 dimensions, we prove that the abelian-projected effective gauge theories are written in terms of the maximal abelian gauge field and the dual abelian gauge field interacting with monopole…
We study the problem of existence of finite energy monopole solutions in the Weinberg-Salam model starting with a most general ansatz for static axially-symmetric electroweak magnetic fields. The ansatz includes an explicit construction of…

Based on the dual Higgs picture for confinement, we study monopole properties in the maximally abelian (MA) gauge using the lattice QCD. The monopole carries a large fluctuation of the gluon field and provides a large abelian action in…
