The elastic p-12C scattering at low energies is studied by using a cluster effective field theory (EFT), where the low-lying resonance states (s1/2, p3/2, d5/2) of 13N are treated as pertinent degrees of freedom. The low-energy constants of…
We find the complete set of conditions satisfied by the forward $2\to2$ scattering amplitude in unitarity and causal theories. These are based on an infinite set of energy dependent quantities -- the arcs -- which are dispersively expressed…
Here we study the polaronic transport through molecules weakly connected to metallic electrodes in the nonlinear response regime. Molecule itself is treated as a quantum dot with discrete energy levels, its connection to the electrodes is…
Homogeneous nucleation of a new phase near an Ising-like critical point of another phase transition is studied. A scaling analysis shows that the free energy barrier to nucleation contains a singular term with the same scaling as the order…
We experimentally and theoretically challenge the concept of coherent perfect absorption (CPA) as a narrow frequency resonant mechanism associated with scattering processes that respect scale-invariance. Using a microwave platform,…
Null points in synthetically tunable molecular aggregates are predicted to generate flat energy bands analogous to those known in strongly correlated condensed-matter physics. For chemistry, null points provide a powerful design principle…
Measurements of angular correlations in nuclear beta decay are important tests of the Standard Model (SM). Among those, the so-called D correlation parameter occupies a particular place because it is odd under time reversal, and because the…
The consecutive microscopic solution is presented of the problem of tunneling of a particle through a potential barrier. The method is applied to the alpha and proton decay of compound systems formed in fusion reaction. Appearance of the…
We study the deterministic entanglement of a pair of neutral atoms trapped in an optical lattice by coupling to excited-state molecular hyperfine potentials. Information can be encoded in the ground-state hyperfine levels and processed by…
Pionful nuclear effective field theory (NEFT) in the two-nucleon sector is examined from the Wilsonian renormalization group point of view. The pion exchange is cut off at the floating cutoff scale, $\Lambda$, with the short-distance part…
Searches for CP violating effects in atoms and molecules provide important constrains on competing extensions to the standard model of elementary particles. In particular, CP violation in an atom leads to the CP-odd (T,P-odd) polarizability…
Atoms can be trapped using a combination of static and rotating magnetic fields. A theoretical analysis is performed of a rotating polarisation axis which is used to eliminate regions of zero coupling. A similar result is found using linear…
The dynamics of an electric charge $e$ in presence of a fixed monopole pair $\pm g$ is considered. Depending on the ratio of the angular momentum to $e\,g/c$, the effective potential may consist a minimum valley between the poles or a…
We consider the model of the optical switching center - a system with the following properties: It has two (or more) metastable states |1>, |2>, separated by a potential barrier U; it can switch from one state to another by absorbing the…
We derive the first positivity bounds for low-energy Effective Field Theories (EFTs) that are not invariant under Lorentz boosts. "Positivity bounds" are the low-energy manifestation of certain fundamental properties in the UV -- to date…
Although atomic diffusion on metal surfaces under high electric fields has been studied theoretically and experimentally since the 1970s, its accurate and quantitative theoretical description remains a significant challenge. In our previous…
We present an effective field theory (EFT) framework for coupled-channel $B^{(*)}\bar D^{(*)}$ scattering, applying it to recent lattice QCD results by Alexandrou et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 132, 151902 (2024)]. Two complementary EFT…
We continue the analysis of quantum two-particle bound systems we have started in (Kholmetskii, A.L., Missevitch, O.V. and Yarman, T. Phys. Scr., 82 (2010), 045301), where we re-postulated the Dirac equation for the bound electron in an…
The Hartree-Fock approximation of Quantum Electrodynamics provides a rigorous framework for the description of relativistic electrons in external fields. This nonlinear model takes into account the infinitely many virtual electrons of…
We study the lateral tunneling through the gate-voltage-controlled barrier, which arises as a result of partial elimination of the donor layer of a heterostructure along a fine strip using an atomic force microscope, between edge channels…
