An effective anomalous CP-violating Z-gamma-gamma coupling can give rise to observable CP-odd effects in gamma gamma -> t bar{t}. We study certain asymmetries in the decay lepton distributions in gamma gamma -> t bar{t} arising from top…

In this thesis we study top-condensation models of electroweak symmetry breaking. In particular we investigate a scenario in which the CP symmetry is broken spontaneously due to the same condensates responsible of electroweak symmetry…
In top-pair events where at least one of the tops decays semi-leptonically, the identification of the lepton charge allows to tag not only the top charge but also that of the subsequent b quark. In cases where the b also decays…
We study the CP violating effects in the decay of $\eta\to\pi^+\pi^-\gamma$. We show that to have CP violation in the decay, one has to consider both linear and circular photon polarizations. In the standard model, the polarizations are…
In this talk I review how to search for CP violation in top-quark pair production and decay using T-odd correlations. I discuss two examples which illustrate many of the relevant features: CP violation in a heavy neutral Higgs boson; and CP…
Enhancing optical nonlinearities so that they become appreciable on the single photon level and lead to nonclassical light fields has been a central objective in quantum optics for many years. After this has been achieved in individual…
Quantum dots in cavities have been shown to be very bright sources of indistinguishable single photons. Yet the quantum interference between two bright quantum dot sources, a critical step for photon based quantum computation, has never…
We consider the two-Higgs-doublet model with explicit CP-violation, where the effective Higgs potential is not CP-invariant at the tree-level. Three neutral Higgs bosons of the model are the mixtures of CP-even and CP-odd bosons which exist…
We investigate CP violation in the process H^\pm \to W^\pm Z within the framework of the two-Higgs-Doublet model (2HDM). Amplitudes are expressed transparently in terms of physical couplings. Our analysis qualitatively confirms recent…
We propose a simple model of dark matter and CP violation and consider the associated triple and quadruple productions of 125 GeV Higgs bosons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). In the model, the dark matter is a vector-like dark fermion…
Observing charge-parity (CP) or time-reversal (T) violations in the leptonic sector will give useful information to elucidate the nature of neutrinos. CP-violating couplings in charged leptonic currents carry out the weak phases necessary…
Cavity-optomechanics enables photon-phonon interaction and correlations by harnessing the radiation-pressure force. Here, we realize a ``cavity-in-a-membrane'' optomechanical architecture which allows detection of the motion of…
In the world with axion the precise measurement of gravitational force and check of the equivalence principle at small distances, $\lambda\sim 1cm$ and less, could provide an additional test of CP symmetry. Using the chiral approach, we…
We study the experimental constraints on dark sector CP violation that enters the visible sector through a Higgs portal coupling $H^{\dagger} H Z^{\prime}_{\mu\nu} \widetilde Z^{\prime \mu\nu}$, where the $Z^{\prime}$ is from a new U(1)…
The existence of $D^0-\overline{D^0}$ mixing at a detectable level requires new physics, which effectively yields a $\Delta c = 2$ superweak interaction. In general this interaction may involve significant CP violation. For small values of…
We propose and analyze a scheme for photon trapping in an optical resonator coupled with two-level atoms. We show that when the cavity is excited by two identical light fields from two ends of the cavity respectively, the output light from…
Searches for experimental manifestations of CP violation have born much fruit in recent years with the discovery of direct CP violation and the first evidence of CP violation outside of the neutral kaon system. Nevertheless we still know…
