The form of the eigenstates of an atom coupled to a cavity mode displaying a three dimensional periodic profile are obtained. It is shown that the quantized motion leads to degenerate states where the atomic degrees of freedom are masked,…
Controlling rhythmic systems, typically modeled as limit-cycle oscillators, is an important subject in real-world problems. Phase reduction theory, which simplifies the multidimensional oscillator state under weak input to a single phase…
We propose a formulation of an absorbing boundary for a quantum particle. The formulation is based on a Feynman-type integral over trajectories that are confined by the absorbing boundary. Trajectories that reach the absorbing wall are…
In the present work, the influence of ultra-intense laser fields on the $\alpha$ decay half-life of the deformed ground state even-even nucleus with the mass number $52 \leq Z \leq 118$ is systematically studied. The calculations show that…
The method of effective interaction, traditionally used in the framework of an harmonic oscillator basis, is applied to the hyperspherical formalism of few-body nuclei (A=3-6). The separation of the hyperradial part leads to a state…
In a newly introduced time scale $\tau$, much smaller than the usual $t$, any object is assumed to be a point-like particle, having a definite position. It fluctuates without dynamics and the wave function $\Psi$ is defined by averaging the…
In the unknown territory of transfermium nuclei, the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory has been applied to probe decay modes which include $\alpha$-decay, spontaneous fission (SF), and a less explored weak-decay. These decay modes are…
Spontaneous fission and alpha decay are the main decay modes for superheavy nuclei. The superheavy nuclei which have small alpha decay half-life compared to spontaneous fission half-life will survive fission and can be detected in the…
The $^{9}$Be($^{14}$C, $\alpha$$\gamma$) reaction at E$_{Lab}$=30 and 35 MeV was used to study excited states of $^{19}$O. The Florida State University (FSU) $\gamma$ detector array was used to detect $\gamma$ radiation in coincidence with…
The dynamics of a quantum particle bound by an accelerating delta-functional potential is investigated. Three cases are considered, using the reference frame moving along with the {\delta}-function, in which the acceleration is converted…
Atomic ensembles strongly interacting with light constitute rich quantum-optical many-body systems, with the potential for observing cooperative effects and dissipative nonequilibrium phase transitions. We theoretically analyze the…
The probabilities to form an $\alpha$-particle on the surface of heavy nuclei (spectroscopic factors) in the states of different angular momenta are calculated within the dinuclear system (DNS) approach. It is shown that this dependence is…

We study the occurrence of long-lived metastable states in the 4f$^{13}$5d6s electron configuration of Yb$^+$. By optical pumping of a single trapped ion on the $^2F^\text{o}_{7/2}\rightarrow (7/2,0)_{7/2}$ transition at 377.5 nm, we…
As titanium is a highly utilized metal for structural light-weighting, its phases, transformation pathways (transition states), and structures have scientific and industrial importance. Impurities, pressure, and temperature control the…
A dynamical study of the decay of a metastable state by quantum tunneling through an anisotropic, non separable, two-dimensional potential barrier is performed by the numerical solution of the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. Initial…
Each and every energy dependent partial-wave analysis is parameterizing the pole positions in a procedure defined by the way how the continuous energy dependence is implemented. These pole positions are, henceforth, inherently model…
Decoherence represents a major obstacle towards realizing reliable quantum technologies. Identifying states that can be uphold against decoherence by purely coherent means, i.e., {\it stabilizable states}, for which the dissipation-induced…
The decay of an unstable system is usually described by an exponential law. Quantum mechanics predicts strong deviations of the survival probability from the exponential: indeed, the decay is initially quadratic, while at very large times…
