Strongly interacting systems appear in several areas of physics and are characterized by attractive interactions that can almost, or just barely, loosely bind two particles. Although this definition is made at the two-body level, this gives…
A technique is presented for treating strongly nonstationary and transient processes in optics, permitting one to take into account both types of competing with each other effects, quantum as well as coherent. The main equations for…
A wide class of materials acquires magnetic properties due to particle interactions through exchange forces. These can be atoms and molecules composing the system itself, as in the case of numerous magnetic substances. Or these could be…
