We consider the recently proposed Bound State Conjecture for quantum field theory in the context of solitons in two dimensional $\phi^4$ scalar field theory. We calculate the quantum correction to the size of the soliton which, taken…
A second order extension of the QED Lagrangian (including boson-boson coupling) has been used to describe q\bar q hadrons. Assuming massless elementary fermions (quantons) this results in a finite theory without open parameters, which may…
The bound state spectrum of the massive Thirring model is studied in the framework of the canonical quantization in the rest frame. First, we quantize the field with the massless free fermion basis states. Then, we make a Bogoliubov…
We first carry out the soliton sector quantization of the spatially cut-off $\phi^4_{1+1}$ theory with double well potential in the semiclassical limit, deriving the nonrelativistic Schr\"odinger equation as an equation describing the…
Two-body bound states such as mesons are described by solutions of the Bethe-Salpeter equation. We discuss recent results for the pseudoscalar and vector meson masses and leptonic decay constants, ranging from pions up to c\bar{c} bound…
The quantum statistical treatment of the Rutherford model, considering matter as a system of point charges (electrons and nuclei) is analyzed. First, in the historical context, the solutions of different fundamental problems, such as the…
We study the existence of bound states in the continuum for a system of n two-level quantum emitters, coupled with a one-dimensional boson field, in which a single excitation is shared among different components of the system. The emitters…
Guided by the observed properties of hadrons I formulate a perturbative bound state method for QED and QCD. The expansion starts with valence Fock states ($e^+e^-,\ q\bar q,\ qqq,\ gg$) bound by the instantaneous interaction of temporal…
The Bethe-Salpeter equation provides the most widely used technique to extract bound states and resonances in a relativistic Quantum Field Theory. Nevertheless a thorough discussion how to identify its solutions with physical states is…

We show that a bound system in momentum space can be treated like a gas of free elementary constituents and a collective excitation of a background field which represents the countless quantum fluctuations generating the binding potential.…
We predict hyper-entanglement generation during binary scattering of mesoscopic bound states, solitary waves in Bose-Einstein condensates containing thousands of identical Bosons. The underlying many-body Hamiltonian must not be integrable,…
Photonic bound states in the continuum are spatially localised modes with infinitely long lifetimes that exist within a radiation continuum at discrete energy levels. These states have been explored in various systems where their emergence…
Relativistic bound state problem in hadron physics is studied. Mesons and their resonance excitations in the framework of Relativistic Quantum Mechanics (RQM) are investigated. Two-particle wave equation for the Lorentz scalar QCD inspired…
A new application of quantum field theory is developed that gives a description of the internal dynamics of dressed elementary particles and predicts their masses. The fermionic and bosonic quantum fields are treated as interdependent…

The self-field approach to quantum electrodynamics (QED) is used to study the bound state problem in light-front two-dimensional QED with massive matter fields. A composite matter field describing bound states is introduced and the…
We illustrate how to apply modern effective field theory techniques and dimensional regularization to factorise the various scales which appear in QED bound states at finite temperature. We focus here on the muonic hydrogen atom. Vacuum…
We present a QCD bound-state calculation based on a renormalization group-improved light-front Hamiltonian formalism. The QCD Hamiltonian is determined to second order in the coupling, and it includes two-body confining interactions. We…
It is thought that strong interactions within the Standard Model can generate bound-states in which non-Abelian gauge-bosons play a dual role, serving both as force and matter fields. In this context we introduce a novel approach to the…
