By means of quantum stochastic calculus we construct a model for an atom with two degenerate levels and stimulated by a laser and we compute its fluorescence spectrum; let us stress that, once the model for the unitary atom-field dynamics…

Emergence of a classical particle trajectory concept from the full quantum description is a key feature of quantum mechanics. Recent progress of solid state on-demand sources has brought single-electron manipulation into the quantum regime,…

We examine scattering amplitudes for an arbitrary number of photons in a class of non-null background electromagnetic fields, studying tree-level and one-loop amplitudes in scalar and spinor quantum-electrodynamics in backgrounds defined by…

The classical scattering of spinning objects is well described by the spinor-helicity formalism for heavy particles. Using these variables, we derive spurious-pole-free, all-spin opposite-helicity Compton amplitudes (factorizing on physical…

When scattering amplitudes are calculated in the double-logarithmic approximation, it is possible to relate the double-logarithmic on-shell and off-shell amplitudes. Explicit relations are obtained for scattering amplitudes in QED, QCD, and…

Asymptotic behavior of the scattering amplitude for two scalar particles by scalar, vector and tensor exchanges at high energy and fixed momentum transfers is reconsidered in quantum field theory. In the framework of the quasi-potential…

We provide universal expressions for the classical piece of the amplitude given by the graviton/photon exchange between massive particles of arbitrary spin, at both tree and one loop level. In the gravitational case this leads to higher…
